$2400 seems like a lot for a hiflow rebuild when you can get a brand newy for less.

but do these bolt on without having to redo water and oil lines?

They aint that expensive if you buy direct from japan.

U can get the new hks 2835 pro s internal gated with the T3 flange for $3100 from japan. I been trying to get ifo if it will fit in the stock location even tho its the T3 flange coz of the size of the housing on it. I just got the quote a few days ago from greenline.

How do you go about ordering a HKS turbo directly from Japan?

Those r easy to get new not easy to find secondhand

I got my pfc from nengun and getting my profec b spec II (1 of the first in aus) from greenline.

And Hikari was formed by a bunch of guys from perth and is a sponsor of Performance Forums.

I'm using a GCG T3/4 turbo at the moment.

By all accounts, on an RB25 with the right management and other bolt ons you should be able to make 250rwkw. You may find that you'll be maxing out a few of the components such as the AFM and the injectors but that's just part of the game when you push the power up I guess.

Unfortunately, this turbo on an RB20 is a problem and I've got a surging problem now. But on the RB20, with bolt ons and chip it makes 200rwkw at 1.1bar. I really do think that the housings are a bit on the small side when looking at it from a performance aspect but that's only an opinion.

I'm growing more towards a HKS GT25/30 every day but upart from the cost of the turbo itself, I'm concerned about what else has to be done to fit it to an RB20 and how much it'll all cost. I can't get an honest and straight answer anywhere.

Joel, would that be JMS? Terry is en route to Japan and promises to bring back HKS 2530's and 2535's plus bigger stuff! :D

Its the southern 'Performance Center' ;)

I couldn't really hear properly as another car was being dyno'd I also heard something about a bolt on TO4 but I am most probably wrong.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
