Paul where can I get a HKS GT-RS for $2500. I would apprecciate your help.

Paul will I get water and oil lines for $2500? Or will I have to pay for them, as well?

for $2500 you can get a hks gt-rs kit and then sell your old turbo for $500 (if it works) so $2000 changeover

it should come as a complete kit too.

I call these other company to find out what the turbo would cost.

I wanted to purchase a HKS GT-RS turbo was told it will cost $3600 at best.

So I call someone else and was told to call another guy and his price was $2500 for for a Garrett GT-2871R.

And I would have to buy all the lines and gaskets too.

So the truth is this the HKS GT-RS will cost $3600 and the Garrett will cost $2500.

Thats for you help.

If you have a budget of $2500 and a minimum goal of 250rwkws with fast spooling, get the HKS GT-RS that you already mentioned.

Definately reach your 250rwkws and up to around the 280 i believe plus the kit on nengun delivered is $2276 with EVERYthing needed for a bolt on job.

No worries mate... If people could be bothered to search and find out the facts before saying someone is talkin bullshit im sure they'd be as suprised as i was, sure the turbo costs $1700, but to be able to put it on your car "yourself" its $2600. What if u were payin for someone to install it...! more!

I agree selling the old turbo will help but finding someone to buy it would be the problem...

I bothered to do a search. Because you are from SAU you get it for $1692 just for the turbo.

If you get the kit it costs you $2340. That's a $648 difference. A far shot from $1000. Also I'm told the kit comes with:

-20mm Spacer Kit which comes with studs and 2 gaskets to suit.

-Gasket Kit including genuine Nissan dump pipe gasket.

-Oil and Water line fitting kit.

-Silicon reducer elbow 2.5" - 2.0" for the intercooler plumbing.

That's a bit more than just oil and water lines. Now maybe that's still expensive. I don't know. What I do know is that you told us almost $1000 for oil and water lines.

Look i dont really care if u wanna argue your point, but the fact is its still near enough to $1000 dollars more for a few gaskets and 2 hoses, you could buy gasket glue for the flanges if u wanted? I bloke from work did this on his 180 and its still fine. It just pisses me of that they advertise it as $1700 but in reallity if u intend to put the turbo on your car as im sure most of us do when purchasing a turbo it'll cost a fair bit more.

yes you could use gasket glue but that the shit house cheap way of doing it - and not properly.

Race tape works wonders for holding on a front bar but Nissan don't use it from factory. Because it's shit.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      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.
