won't fit, it's the nugget t2 rear housing version with a cropped turbine.

You can get another rear housing to fit it but by that stage you may as well buy a new one with the right housing and have some warranty.

With the strength of the pound you could almost buy a new one in australia and have it shipped to the UK for 800...

cheers. i will check them out now. i know this is slightly of topic now, but what would be the best bolt on turbo for my car in the price range $1200-1600AUD? im looking for around 340-380 at the wheels..

i have all other supporting mods sorted, eg Power fc, injectors.....

GCG hi-flow of standard turbo is around $1800 from Sydneykid group buy plus delivery.

RB25DET HKS GT-RS kit from www.nengun.com or www.greenline.jp maybe $2200 plus delivery.

back to back the HKS unit makes a little more hp earlier but both make similar power up top.

GCG units are great value for rebuilding a blown standard turbo.

if your turbo is in good condition then you can sell your turbo for $300ish so the HKS unit becomes a little more cost effective.

both are bolt-on units with no other fabrication required.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
