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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
