You will find turbo engines that need high boost pressure to achieve the desired horsepower are going to need high fuel rail pressure just to keep the head of pressure over manifold pressure . I think you can do better than that turbo for the power , something with better exhaust flow through the turbine side would help . That 90T turbine in the "overbored" GT28 turbine housing is known to perform poorly and the .64AR ratio is going to choke the living shite out of it .

The propper Garrett GT3071R with the full sized (and unmolested) 60 x 55mm 84 trim turbine in a REAL GT30 turbine housing works much better . The above thing may have an integral wastegate but the other compromises (T28 flange and butchered GT28 housing) just don't work well enough .

Sorry to be negative but I think the GT3071R "Wastegated" creates too many other issues and fixing them is not cost effective .

Cheers A .

As always it depends on what else is upgraded to suit and if you intent to spend much time at that 280Kw level .

To make 280Kw divide by 3 and multiply by 4 to get approx Hp or ~ 375 . Divide 375 by 11 to get required lbs of air = 34.1 plus 10% = 37.5lbs . 0.6 times air in lbs gives a fair air flow to exhaust flow ratio so 22.5lbs exhaust .

The closest match I can find is the GT3071R which has ~ 45lbs air and ~ 23lbs exhaust flow with a GT30 .82AR ratio turbine housing . It does not have an integral wastegate . That particular GT3071R is cartridge no 700177-0023 or -5023 , it does not have a turbo unit number because its only sold by Garrett as a cartridge to which you add your choise of Garrett exhaust and compressor housing kits . ATP turbo in the US can supply it complete with a choise of .63 .82 or 1.06AR ratio exhaust housings .

The closest thing in a HKS would be the GT2835 Pro S which also has a T3 mount flange but also an integral wastegate . This one may be a tad shorter on exhaust flow but some want the convienence of the integral wastegate .

Garrett is supposed to be releasing a new .82AR ratio GT30 integral gate T3 flanged housing which has gone back to late July - production lead times I'm told . This on the above mentioned GT3071R would be my choise ATM . The HKS Cast low mount exhaust manifold would help but can't promise the turbo would clear the engine mount and bodywork .

You need to be real sure 280Kw is what you really want and that the engine can stand up to that figure reliably . I reckon 240 Kw and the state of tune that could have would be nicer to drive and easier to live with in a road driven R34 but thats my ideals only . The R34 Neo's turbo in GCG's high flow form may just about reach that 240Kw figure with the right supporting mods and goes - bolt .

Your call .

The problem with the GT30R is that its a bit short on turbine area itself . Its maps show it as having ~ 53lbs air capacity but the turbine map "flat lines" at ~ 26 and a bit lbs (and thats in its largest 1.06AR turbine housing form) so not really enough . If you divide the turbine flow number into the compressor flow number you get .50 or 50% which is not enough ideally .

The original Garrett bush bearing GT37 turbo (GT30R turbo uses a GT37 compressor as does HKS and why they call theirs GT30-37) is powered by a 72.5mm GT37 turbine which is not short on exhaust flow . A better match for petrol would have been something in between the GT30 turbine (60mm) and GT35 turbine (68mm) PROVIDED you really needed all that the 56T GT37 compressor can pump .

If you compare the 56T GT37 compressor map to the 56T GT35 map (GT3071R's comp) the 35 map is not too far behind the 37 in the flow stakes . Some of this is because the GT37 compressor is in a TO4E housing which was designed for 76mm compressors . The GT35 compressor is also in a TO4E housing in GT3071R form though the AR ratio is .5 rather than .6 and its snout is not port shrouded .

HKS had a fair idea that the GT30 turbine GT37 compressor combination could be a bit laggy in large or 56 compressor trim so they offered it in 48 and 52 compressor trim as well . This is part of the reason why some of their GT3037's respond better and get some boost and torque happening earlier than the Garrett GT30R can . A while back Garrett was developing a competition turbocharger for CART and WRC (probably Indi as well) known as the TR30R . The GT3071R ended up being the productionised cousin of the TR30R and is a better way of achieving what the smaller trim GT3037's can do . Compressor maps of the 48 and 52 trim GT37 maps are hard to find but the results are very similar to the 52 and 56 trim GT35 wheels . Just in case you don't know GT37 compressors are generally 76mm and GT35 71mm .

Garrett could have used smaller turbine trims earlier than they have which would have allowed them to go up a family on turbines for much of their compressor range . The GT3071R is one example of the turbine upsize though the trim at 84 did not change .

It has happened with the recently developed GT4088R where the turbine trim is 78 . It is also significant that the HKS marketed T51R is using a 76 trim turbine while the garden variety Garrett marketed GT4294R makes do with an 84 trim turbine of the same family . There is nothing to stop Garrett using 76-80 trim versions of their GT30 and GT35 turbines , the GT40 and 42's are already in use .

I think the way you should look at it is that rather than the GT3071R's wheel being near the limit its closer to being in sync with its turbine sides flow potential .

Cheers A .

with gt-rs

300rwkw on rb25det non neo with cams is do-able

300rwkw on rb25det neo is unseen (that i know of)

pete has gcg hiflow and cams and makes 250rwkw

i think matt has 2835 pro and made somewhere around 250rwkw

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
