Hey guys,

I have a highflowed turbo for sale that came off a stagea I bought recently. The turbo would suit a rebuild as there is some noticeable movement back and forth on the shaft and also side to side. The compressor housing also shows the slighest signs of being touched by the compressor wheel on occasion. The turbo did not make any noise before it came off and had a slight amount of oil left in the cooler pipes.

I have no receipts for the work as it was done by previous owners but I will get pics of the front/rear wheels and its quite obvious that it has been highflowed as they are massive.

Still yet to get a quote from a turbo shop to rebuild this but I would expect around the $400-$500 mark.

Done a search here and these highflows seem to go for about 1300 bucks secondhand so im going to ask $600 for my one as is. Will eventually get a quote on rebuild and may even have this done then sell as a new turbo but I thought I would post it up and see if anyone else wants to take it as is.

Located in Perth but should be ok to post.

Regards,

Ryan

I'm interested, but your dreaming if you think people will pay $600 for a turbo that needs a rebuild.

Also is it ballbearing or journal? Who did the original work? Any dyno sheets?

Fair enough. I wasnt very sure on the price so im open to offers. Feel free to PM me with one. Il also get a quote on the rebuild and at the same time hopefully get some specs. Way I saw it was that people pay 1500 bucks to get their turbo's highflowed, and if my assumptions are correct then this turbo will only need about 400-500 worth of work done to get it rebuilt and working properly as a highflow...so its basically a new highflow for 1k give or take.

Anyway, il get some pics and a quote in the next few days hopefully.

Oh and sorry no specs or dyno sheets. Ive had the car 2 weeks and only drove it half a k before a cooler pipe fell of and subsequently got run over =/.

Cheers guys.

Ok guys I spoke to the turbo place today and they told me the following:

- Definitely a high flow (duh)

- Capable of about 450hp

- Scoring on the compressor housing is easily tidied up.

- Compressor wheel will need replacement as one of the fins is slightly bent ($120 for new wheel)

- To expect about $800 all up for a rebuild inc parts and labour....and it was a worst case scenario sort of quote.

So in light of this the new price for the turbo is 300 ono

turbo is off a series 1 or 2 skyline or equivelent , actuator though is defenently off a series 1 skyline which leads me to believe its a series 1 turbo. rear wheel is defenently bigger and front i think is noticably different like mine with room to go bigger still. rear whwwl is same size as mine. does it have a rear steel for sure???? also core of turbo has noticable blemish marks in the metal which is a sign or uneven heat on the core. as you already know turbos get very hot so try get some close up shots to inspect for cracksin the casting. Really though for 100 dollars i would just buy it any way and take my chances b4 somebody else snaps it up.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      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

      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.
