Hello everyone,

Just pulled a turbo off my R32 4 door. Need help in figuring out what it is so I can sell it for the right price. My guess is it's a high flow of some kind, steel wheels etc

It has a GCG plate on it:

S/N: 016085

P/N: XTRGTSTS1

The compressor housing is labelled 16V 12 (I think thats the standard housing for an RB20 turbo, correct me if i'm wrong?)

Exhaust housnig doesn't give away much. Near the inlet it says 603A, and randomly somewhere else it says OP6. Has a pretty big exhaust wheel.

Here's the pics. Sorry they're abit dark, couldn't get much light.. will try for some more tommorow!

The turbine housing is the larger VG30/R34 size.

It must of been laggy on the ol RB20. >_<

The comp cover is from an rb20det turbo.

An interesting match, small 16v comp cover with the vg30/r34 turbine housing.

How did it spool on the rb20det? Al lin by 5k?

As stated, its a GCG highflow, ~$1900 new.

The only negative with your turbo is the small 16v comp cover.

Haha spot on mate.. not too good for mid range, but jessu christ hold on once you hit bout 4.5k

Made great top end power. I think it would go well on an RB25/RB30

I think it would too. :nyaanyaa:

What power did you end up making with it on the rb20? 4.5k is not too bad. :)

I ran a stock vg30 on my old rb20det once, that had bugger all under 4000rpm. Such a lazy turbo for bugger all power increase over stock. >_<

GCG

GTST turbo

Stage 1 Hi-flow,

Its not the surgy (and now removed) "2nd stage" they had on offer for a while

I thought as much from the plate on the turbo. Is it ball bearing?

So the big question is what is she worth? No shaft play, and it will come with a 15psi actuator..

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I did abit of digging on GCG.com.au, and found this:

http://www.gcg.com.au/Catalogue_Menus/Upgr...pgrade_gtst.htm

Thats basically what I have, instead I have the 16V 12 compressor housing (R32) not the 45V2 (R33) housing.

$1950 brand new.

Shit, 1300's a good price. I had no interest at that price for mine.

I ended up getting 1000 or 1100 i think for my old stage 2 highflow (which incidentally didn't surge on either my rb20 or rb25)

The problem becomes you now have competition from new garretts at about $1300 not to mention the sub 1k highflows from slide.

haha great this thread has also answered my question to what my turbo is :ermm: i think everyone will agree its a new GCG high flow, numbers etc. match except mine has '45V4' and the one on the GCG site has '45V2'.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
