good for high 300-low 400awkw. i have used a few sets (they usually use TWO wastegates) make sure the gate is big enough to flow both turbos... maybe one of the reasons its cheap is his custom job was not so successful..

exactly what im thinking

look where the gate is, nowhere NEAR the first turbo.

I wouldnt be surprised if it had major boost spike/control issues having the gate that far away AND after a merge from another manifold.

id be very surprised if it worked at all

Gotta love ebay specials

Yeah can definitely see what you are thinking there, though I'm not 100% sure that it wouldn't work still. All the wastegate has to do is drop the manifold pressure, and its going to do that regardless of where it is so long as the angle for the feed pipe to the wastegate is angled sensibly and the wastegate is big enough. To me, those basically seem ok. Thats my first impression though my confidence is similar to my confidence that I won't get salmonella next time I buy KFC.

Ye it will do it regardless in a certain scenario

The exhaust goes the path of least resistance, now looking @ that, its fairly nasty. Not good at all.

There is room for turbulence from the runner intersect, its a fair way to travel compared to the housing etc etc.

I dunno, it really is hard to say. It might be totally fine :huh:

I just wouldnt be surprised if you measured the turbo outlets onces its all setup and one doesnt follow the same boost path as the other etc.

I bet the TD05's are shagged too :)

lol.. ok mr negative.. ebay specials?? try yahoo japan, and the japanese are very honest ppl, if they where stuffed im sure he would have stated that in his add. Im not sayin that it will work 100% affectivly with the waste gate where it is, but as some one elce said for that price your cant go wrong.. its not that cheap really, there are lots of rb26 turbo kits that go for around the same price all the time.. just have to look

oh yeah i should have mentioned they are pretty much ext gate versions of the T517Z range of turbos. The twin Td05 kit was discontinued when the bolt on T517z 8cm and 10cm versions were released.

take it from someone who has been buying parts of yahoo japan for over 6 years and travels to japan twice a year that japanese people selling stuff on yahoo can be just as dodgey as aussie people selling stuff on ebay. yes there are some genuine bargains out there, but do not take every auction description as gospel, or assume that some ingrained sense of honour will compell a japanese seller to declare a fault with something he's selling. and shock horror, there are actually full on scammers on yahoo too that will take your money and send you nothing.

note: I'm not saying these are anything but wonderful. they could be awesome. you'll find out when you get 'em. as I said, there are genuine bargains, but there are plenty of scams too. so beware. :D

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
