SOLD

I have an R33 GCG turbo for sale in very good condition.

I origionally bought it from a forum member and fitted it up. I was suffering boost creep straight away and thought it must have been the turbo. I bought a brand new GTRS turbo and was having the same issues, and have now narrowed my problem down to dump pipe and lack of tuning for my boost creep issues and not the turbo. So i now have to resell the GCG.

I can guarentee you wont be dissapointed in this purchase as the member who i bought it from had it checked out for me prior to purchase and i also got an opinion and was told the turbo was in great condition. It also ran very well on my car in the low and mid range with very good response until i reached the limiting factors i had against me.

It previously made 320rwhp on 14-15 PSI. With a little more boost you could make a few more ponies yet.

The minimal shaft play that was advertised in the ad from the last member is absolutly nothing to worry about as this is the normal amount you would expect from a brand new turbo and is no more than the new GTRS i have just purchased.

It has been an expensive exersice but have learnt a lot in the meantime. The Mrs bought me the new GTRS so i wouldnt keep pulling my hair out.......i just pulled it out more when i found out the turbos wernt the problem. Still i must thank her for the support she gave me.(she is the best)

I have only had it on the car for a week and will sell it for $1000 with free delivery anywhere in Australia.

Any questions call Simon on 0408 766 268

give you missus a big kiss for me! thats damn good of her aye

turb's is a bit rich for me, but i will just note, try ADVANCING the base ign timing on your car. Like as far as you can before detonation. I bet it fixes your boost problem. (if timing i too retarded the exploding gas goes out the exhaust causing the turbo to sin its face off even with the wastegate open)

cheers

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
