Confirmed by Bill at ATS. Turbo is definitely rooted. Needs a rebuild. Taking the Stagea off the road for the turbo. :P

While I'm at it, I'll get the front bumper painted and the brakes calipers swapped. :D

did you get a rebuild quote ruby? what parts are included?

$1800 to rebuild my current turbo with new core and turbine housing better matched/machined for my car.

$2200 for a 3071 built for my car specifically.

or

$150 - $300 to go back to a stock turbo.

or

$1300 approx for a second hand 2530 setup.

$1450 for new GT3071R from CRD.

wow 1800 to rebuild? seems the old 2530 setup is the go, i saw that for sale, only 3000k's IIRC.

Yeah well I have a house extension to pay for, so I don't really want to spend $1800. My budget is more like $1200. If it had failed say 2 months ago, I'd have easily spent the money then.

If someone buys my S1 Stagea this week, I'll then have the money for a proper rebuilt/new turbo. :D

Stimulus Info...

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?

A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?

A. Shut up.

I'm saying it'd be around 3k to rebuild my twin turbo's and steel wheel them!! :D

Ruby, can you take the car there or do you have to take off the turbo and take just the turbo there?

taking the turbo off yourself and taking it there will save

a shitload, obviously.

i dare say the 1800 just covers the re-build only

Yeah, thats with me taking turbos off myself and delivering them.

Hey guys, I'm looking at a few Skylines at the moment. Here's one I'm quite interested in.

The owner said he'd go down to $12.5k if I purchased it. I've taken it on 2 test drives, and I am quite interested in buying it. What do you guys think? Except for a Regency check, what other checks should I do?

Bomex kit looks quite different. Judging by the engine bay quality, he's taken more interest in the body rather than the engine! Checked for rust, oil leaks, etc?

What's the Regency check?

There was no rust or oil leaks from what I saw.

The Regency check would be the compliance check.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
