hi. still having some issues finding a replacement turbo charger for my 1994 r33 gtst.

i have spoken to garrett direct, gcg turbos, and other people and everyone seems to be able to repair the stock turbo in about 3 days but this isnt really any good. im looking for a full replacement turbo bolt on to the standard fixings for around the 2 gran mark. does anybody know where i might be able to get anything.

otherwise if not. if i get the standard turbo with steel wheels and high flowed do you need to replace anything else on the car for it to work. eg injectors, computer.

a replacement would be better as the mate im doing with lives a fair distance from home so we are gonna do it over a saturday so if i can have a brand new one in my hands it would make life much easier.

cheers

gcg have there exchange turbo system where they strip the internals and do upgrades using the standard housing so fitment is easy, but i'm assuming its more than 2 grand since youv already spoken to them

not for $2K though....

thanks for the prompt resposes. that one from sliding performance for $890 is that a good quality product. it says garrett and something else has anyone tried them and had any problems or are they pretty sweet.

Cheers again in advance

Ring back GCG, be clear that you want thier GCG Hi-flow for the RB25DET Turbo.

It sounds like you might have not been clear with them what you were after.

Then you will have a turbo in your hands for 2k.

You send your turbo to them, they will send it back rebuilt, hi-flowed and ready to go.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
