Seem to recall a mate who got his r34 gtt turbo highflowed from gcg turbos for 1700bux but they are in sydney so you could perhaps ship it down?, dont know if the prices have come down.

Any thought on buying a garrett item or hks? tad more expensive but you can always sell your old one to make up the difference.

Depends how much you want to spend really... And if you want a ball bearing or journal bearing turbo. If you supply the turbo the highflowing/rebuilding cost is usually around 1000-1500 if you want to keep it journal bearing. Depending how cheap you find a second hand highflow or even a blown highflow would determine which path to travel. Rebuilding journal bearing turbo's is relatively cheap compared to a ball bearing.. as in 500-600 for a rebuild compared to 1000ish for a ball bearing rebuild.

If you get yours highflowed however you can be guaranteed that your banjo's and oil/water lines will line up... you also build a relationship with your workshop and get a warranty.

I don't know brisbane so can't help you out any further:)

Cheers.

His turbo is already ball bearing.

Yes you can send yours to GCG in Sydney to high flow. I have one. Yes it's cheaper if you can find a blown turbo to send them then sell yours in good condition. I just blew mine so the choice was obvious.

How does a GCG BB highflow compare to a similar sized HKS or Garret item?

Is the difference huge in performance and response?

Does Garret even make a direct bolt on incl. standard dump pattern for RB25?

Last time i looked, GCG was charging $1950 exchange.

i thought of going through the gcg high flow route but iv decided to go for HKS GTRS which is muich more reliable than the gcg high flow and is also a direct bolt on kit for R33

from nengun its 2600 delivered minus the cost of selling your good conditioned turbo

gcg charge 2000 to high flow your standard turbo. so for the extra 300 odd definetely go HKS

Mmm decisions decisions.

What sort of boost can a highflow handle?

GTRS's can easily do 20 psi i hear. Since they are fairly small they would spool to 20 psi pretty quick too!

Now I'm leaning towards the GTRS again...

Go onto youtube and type in hks gt-rs; there is a bloke who posted like 9 videos of his gtst with the gt-rs and it is amazingly responsive, frys the tyres very easily.

it will change your mind on the highflow.

Why rebuild or repair a turbo when its nearly the price of buying one new?. The HKS GTRS will love 2 bar.

:P ummmm for about 3 seconds before it pushes that much hot air it'll melt all 6 pistons.....way out of the GT-RS's efficiency rating.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.

      +1 for Jesse Streeter. Over the years I have got a bunch of stuff from him (usually wheels, but other parts like aftermarket braces and coolers). He was very good with shipping things to Australia. He may be able to send to other countries.
