hi lads. im new on here,from ireland! im a member of skylineowners.com and this turbo is for sale on there, here

my question is what all would i need to get this turbo to bolt onto my manifold and whats the story with oil/water feeds? nobody on the forum can give me a straight answer so im hoping some of you aussies lads can set me straight!! :woot::P

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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
