It would be interesting to know if it were a batch or if slide had some one else do the machine work/balance etc at some point?

R33God, you said the motor had a tapy sound or something.. what's oil pressure like? Drop your oil and look for metallic in it.

If there's a tap/knock coming from the motor it is possible for the motor to drop oil pressure and as a result starve the journal bearing turbo as they require considerably more oil than the BB cores.

im looking at the garrett cartridge replacements from rotor master in campbellfield. they do a similar job to slide but with garrett ball bearing cartridge and a hi flowed exhaust housinhg.

olts straight back on coz it uses ur stock turbo

I am not going to speculate what happened.

BUT

If you are looking for pieces of the turbine or whether "something went through it" i would be looking at the intake to the FMIC or the pipes leading to it. When pieces fly off the front compressor, they will usually get stuck at the fmic, they don't go to the exhaust side :D.

Looks like exactly what happened to my turbo

didnt even last 3months or 5tho kms, electronic boost controller so no overboosting...

NOTHING at all went through the turbo

wasnt even booting it when it went bang and didnt make boost...

im still trying to get a refund..........................................................................

One would image that if there loosing blades the wheel is possibly being over sped or surging . I can't say with certainty but many found over the years that compressors with lots of blades like 71mm 8 blade T04's don't like high speed high pressure ratio use .

If in that pic it was a complete blade detached from the compressor then its very likely let go at its root and rubbed on the inside of the housing . I reckon that would do all sorts of nasties balance wise and if it managed to jamb between the wheel and housing that would make itself heard .

Cheers .

Well i got a response from Slide and they basically handballed the problem onto the manufacturer of the turbo for me to sort out....thanks guys!

here is a pic of what became of mine....massive shaft play side to side, nothing in the cooler piping and definitely no overboosting!

oh and I used 8mm speedflow fittings for the oil feed over the recommended drilling of the banjo fitting :S just so there were no excuses

dam...

wonder if I should sell my hi-flow and go something else now...

goodluck mate, the bad rep these turbos are getting i'd be surprised if you got a buyer.

same with me Tazz.... i sent mine to GCG and got a very interesting report...

i think some legal action might be required?

same thing here.

GCG have printed me out a report on the receipt of the turbo i got rebuilt by them.

R33GOD, let me know how far you get with getting your turbo repaired.

yeah mate, click on the link in my sig for all the details.

heres a hint... Murnane Motors were the company who REALLY built these turbos.

Thanks for setting everyone straight as to where the warranty obligations lay. There has been far too much confusion in this thread about this subject.

Good job.

Cheers.

i have had my slide highflow on my car for about 10 000 ks now,no problem yet!!sorry to hear about the problems people are having with these turbos!

my engine needs a rebuild now anyway,will be putting in some good forged pistons and conrods in!will now maybe consider putting a bigger turbo on,will diffnately be garrett!these problems are not good,but some guys have really good luck with highflows,one of the guys in the rb25 power dyno

section got 263kw at the rear wheels with the same turbo i got from slide,the max oversize one,so it seems weird that these problems are happening to these turbos,maybe the rush that they had with orders at the start of this year made the people that do the turbos make mistakes with the rush,but that should not happen!!i was lucky i got my turbo before the rush!

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
