Hey all, I bought an engine with a turbo off a friend and she said that the turbo is an HKS GT2510. I trusted her and sold it as this but the guy I sold it to sent it back saying it is not. So can anyone help me identify what type of turbo it is from the photos below? Thanks.

I've seen pics of a turbo very similar to that I think here . Can't remember exactly but I think it was either an early HKS GT2530 or GT2535 .

The compressor housing is Garrett T04B in 0.60 A/R , the four bolt reducing adapter on the front of it looks like typical HKS .

You can't see enough in your pics of the turbine housing but the turbine itself is almost certainly the one used in HKS 2530/2535/2540 .

As Nismoid says look at the ID tags numbers .

My notes reckon the cartridge numbers (CHRA) are 446179-21 for the 2530 and 446179-19 for the 2535 .

ID tag pic , cheers A .

It doesn't have an ID tag and the core doesn't have anything eligible on it. The actuator is a Nissan one too, so that's not really any help. The girl I bought it off said it's a ball bearing GT2510 and the guy who I sold it to took it to a couple of mechanics and they both said it's a bush bearing and not a GT2510. However when you spin the wheel it keeps spinning and I have been told that this means that it is a ball bearing one. Is this right?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
