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.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
