hi boo5tr, got a VQ30DET turbo (similar to VG30)

its good for around 215rwkw on 1bar.

good upgrade for RB20 & RB25.

only thing u need to do is remove the rear housing from old turbo and put it on this so it bolt straight up to your manifold & dump.

if you're interested pm me,

im after $170 and add $25-$35 for postage interstate.

Cheers

if it's going to take a few months to save up for a upgraded turbo, then it's probably not such a good idea.

the reason for upgrading usually would be more power, which in turn can cause more things to break...

get another good condition stocker on there, run 10psi, and you'll be fine. :)

i dont know what the original guys income is like????? all i'm saying is if he buys another stocker (12 ish years old) whats to say it will handle 10psi for long? its the luck of the draw, even at standard boost theres no guarantee.

just blew my stock turbo in my 33 its a 96 series 2.

I just put a r32 actuator in and it read 1 bar within 5 minutes she made a pop/whistle noise!!!lol

that is to bad

i use to run mine on 1bar a wile ago and was going to do it when i next go down to the track now im not ever going past 7psi i cant afford my car lol

but i have gone with out my car for a wile and it is hard but sometimes u have to. i say save-up and get a new turbo but dont go stupid 1bar is plenty

so i say go with something that can do 1 bar safely and if u need more power there are other things u can do to add that extra kick

Id get a new turbo if i were you.

Thing is with imports to be able to afford one means not just being able to purchase it, but affording all the dramas that go with imports:

high insurance costs

high fuel consumption + higher price of high octane petrol

chance of blown turbos

chance of blown motor

increased risk of speeding fines

increased risks of canary

If you require your car for work/uni with no other viable transport options being available then a skyline is not a correct choice of vehicle for you.

Barring that, my suggestion is that you take your car off the road for a few months, (which will help u save money) tell every1 u lost ur license due to the draconian traffic offence regulation in this state, and use PT/sponge lifts off parents/mates/GF/Sisters and save enough for upgraded turbo. At least you'll have a reward at the end of it all

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
