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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
