I am going to order some new turbos for my GTR R32 but i would like to know what the standard housings are as i dont really want to replace the exhaust down pipes or exhaust manifolds.

You input would be well recieved.

Hey mate,

Not sure if this is much help but....I recently upgraded my standard turbo's to twin Trust T517z's, I too had purchased dump pipes. These turbo's offered awesome response with power all the way through the rev range. They bolt straight up to the standard sized dump pipes.

Hmm not sure my dumps are standard guess i need to crawl under and take some happy snap so you gent can tell me.

I know the exhaust pipe is 90mm od and no cat or anything else for that matter from turbos to exhaust end.

Lol no cats venture outside in my street now

Ok crawled under the bloody car point camera at said pipe to find the battery is flat...........

So they must be 70 mm od at least and they have a flexible section in one of the pipes. Not sure if that is standard as i have not looked at any other gtr byt mine.

Did notice what i believe to be standard cast turbo outlet pipes though

Ok i tried to build my courage up for another forae under the bloody car again will a fully charged camera this time and i failed at the starting line as it still 44 degrees out there.

then retired to the air conditioning and 2 cans of liquid bravery.... well ok it was 6. And rolled out to the car vowing to get pictures this time, worked my way under the car, get the camera all focused and b$%^er me if there isnt a huge bloody H.K.S stamp on the outside of the pipe. Which i could have seen from the side of the car rather than underneath it.

So i guess i have my answer

In the cold light of day i think thats exactly what i have on this car.

Still i now know that i have the 5 bolt flange dumps, but i guess i would be better off with after market dumps if i go for new turbos.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
