the GTR twin turbos are smaller than GTST turbo

so its a downgrade

Thanks Paul I Blew My Oil Seal In My Turbo... I Just Want

A. To Get It Fixed (Dont Know Where, Pricing)

B. Direct Fit (No Mods :) And Of Course Pricing)

your options are;

1. get the current busted turbo highflowed - around $2k for a ball bearing unit

2. get a 2nd hand aftermarket turbo (hks 2530, hks 2535, trust td05, apexi ax)

3. get a new aftermarket turbo (hks gt-rs, hks 2835)

being in nsw ask the guys in the NSW area for a list of workshops, theres probably a list already

CRD and UAS are two workshops that come to mind in NSW , no idea where they are from blacktown

good concise answer but i think you forgot one more option:

4. buy a second hand one for only around $200-$300 and have it put on......if moneys tight...perfectly viable option

ah yeah sorry forgot 2nd hand stocker jobbie

Yeah Thats What I'm Trying To Do So I Don't Have To Worry About It Turning Into A Ball Of Fire (Exagerated I Know)

Just Finding One Is The Hard Bit, At Least Till I Got the Money For The Original To Get Rebuilt.

Just Don't Wanna Have To Get Stuff Fabricated..

Not A Fan Of Making Things Fit Just Want Them To, I Bought A E-bay t04e With All The Extra Fittings,

And It Still Wont Fit So I'm Selling It On E-bay For $300 Just To Make Back Some Of The Money...

Thanks Guys If You Know Someone With A Stocker Could You Drop us A Line It's A Series II Nylon Wheel Turbo

Thanks Again :laugh:

seriously throw the to4e in the bin

its not worth the hassles, costs and pain and its crap `1960s technology

get your stocker hiflowed (will last another 100,00kms) or buy a 2nd hand stocker for $300

a 2nd hand stocker will be better than an ebay to4e

I Am Getting Rid Of It Paul Nothing Fits Just got Desperate, Hey What Do They Do When They hiflow Turbos??

What Does It Acheive?? I Understand The Ball Bearing Bit But Not The Rest?!?!?

hi nic

when a turbo is "old" the bearings and seals become worn

the actual wheels themselves are reasonalby ok

so when they highflow a turbo they rip out the bearing kit (known as CHRA) and replace it with a new ball bearing pack

they replace the wheels with steel wheelies (gets rid of ceramic and plastic wheels), balance it, and service the lines (oil and water)

the only parts that are "retained" when highflowing are the housings and compressors cover as they don't "wear out"

they even bore out the exhaust snout to get more "flow" out of it - hence the name highflowing

the only difference between servicing a turbo at its scheduled 100,000km interval and hiflowing is

they fit bigger/better wheels and bore out the snout exhaust hole to get more flow out of it

ok That clears it all up... your a wealth of knowledge for someone in distress, thanks paul

no worries

the main issue with fitting another 2nd hand jobbie is - its age and likelyness to fail

its going to be a 10+ year old plus turbocharger with cermamic wheels etc

and theres a chance (minor) that when it fails , it takes the engine down with it, need a full rebuild

so sometimes its better to just bite the bullet and pay for a highflow

but on the other end of the scale i have my rb25t with 185,000 on it and std turbo

with std specs and no highflow / rebuild etc so its 85,000 overdue for a 'overhaul' - the turbo is

so i guess you could say its likely to fail - i run 12psi and trash it

but i dont "think" it will take down the engine too when it fails - so i dont justify the $ in rebuild the turbo

sounds much like myself, the only reason this tubo blew out was because the cheap SH!TE boost controller that came with it loosened and ran 20 psi before my eyes... (Imagine eyes 3 inches out of my head)

UAS is in Seven Hills just around the corner from you.

9620 9000

thanks i know of them they will be tuning my safc II when it arrives monday, don't know if i should get it tuned due to the turbo?? any ideas?

they wont be able to tune it without a working turbo, and if it is still running, they will have to retune when you replace it

Thought so... Is It Possible To Just Fix The Oil Seal on My Turbo... NO Hiflow Or Comp Wheel Changes?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
