Installed this a while back.

The installation was REALLY easy, alot easier than what I have read on here.

Basicly you had to grind off one nut hole off the exhaust manifold where the heat sheld screws to and every thing else just bolts up.

Stock oil lines hocked up perfect and I just blocked off the water lines.

I didn't need to bend the actuator rod like some people have said.

Here are the results.

I also run a kkr480 on my rb25det and me and a mate installed it ourselves,

turbo bolted up perfect, just had to grind a bit of the exhaust manifold, oil lines bolted up, but i went into enzed and for $30 or so he put new ends on my water lines to match the same size thats on the turbo, then i just chopped the lines and used high pressure/heat hose 2 move them around to fit nicely, and towed car to my mech 2 get dumpipe fab'd up and cooler piping change a little,

comes on hard bout 4000-4500rpm, i just run actuator spring which is bout 1.2-1.3 bar of boost, bit hard 2 control boost in these things, only downside..

but worth every penny, ive done bout 5000-7000kms alredy on this turbo, runs like a dream

Yeah it has got a GMC or some Aus turbo reco company bandged on it. I dont think its GMC but that just comes in to mind, its some 3 letter name.

Yeah KKR480s aren't that big, this one came off my VS commodore V6 and that spooled it at 2800rpm for 12psi. Its around 3000rpm, well you feel the boost kick in hard as then look at revs and its doing around 3000rpm. will have to have a closer look.

Its definarly a KKR480 I brought it new.

Any way stock turbo isn't big enough because I want 300RWKW.

Also I did lean the living daylights out of it early on to help turbo spool.

Well not that lean like 13.7:1 Air Fuel Mixture.

Yeah I would get a boost controller if I was you, adjusting that actuator rod would be a nightmare.

I didn't think you could get 1.2-1.3 bar out of the stock actuator as my commodore running stock actuator on the KKR480 only saw 12psi tops.

Does it over boost at all in high revs? I am hoping I dont need to get the wastegate cut out so it flows more.

Ummm the enzed bit makes no sence... KKR480s are oil only.. I just blocked off my water lines. The stock oil lines seemed to bolt up perfectly.

finny mate, you sure got a 480 cause no way it would spool up that early and also if its a oil only turbo then what are the other two fitting in the turbo core for????. you might have a bitsa turbo cause every 480 ive seen has oil and water fittings

Also you will be very lucky to get your 300kws with a kkr480 they arent bigger enough for it.

:S

Mine is from JustJap its marked as a JJR480 but I thought they where just rebadged KKR480s... they look identical.

Maybe I am wrong.

It has only got oil holes.

ummm that sucks... I should have got one from otomoto :)

KKR 480 =

Yes I can see the water holes on that one

Ohh well looks like I will be going to a Garret GT35/40 later on down the track then.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
