Howdy,

Just posting to see if anyone is seriously interested in saving themselvers $$$ and getting heaps more power from their R32 and R33 Skyline GTST's???

I have for sale a brand spanking new GCG high Flow Stage II turbo still wrapped in plastic rated @ 500HP.

"The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models."

Price is only $2000 where brand new they sell for $2450.

Condition is that you have to send me your old turbo or we can work something out personally.

oh and by the way.......I live in DARWIN :P)

Dude..

Please confirm with GCG that this turbo has a BALL BEARING center AND that it is OK on an RB20.

Last time I spoke with GCG in Sydney, the deal was that for just over $2K you give them your turbo and they rebuild it with Standard NON ball bearing center and replace the blades with T3/T4.

AND they have 2 options..

450 hp or the 500hp.

AND the 500hp was not suited for the RB20... something to do with surging due to mismatch or something..

On an rb25 they were both good.

But the main thing is the bearings.. If indeed they rebuilt it with BB center, then that is an awesome price..

However, I didn't think that ANYONE in Sydney had the Balancing tool required to REbuild BB centers.

GCG do have the nessacary tools to balance BB centre turbos, there is no problem using the 500HP turbo on the RB20..the surge they refer to is where the RB20 head runs out of effeciency and instaed of accepting more air from the turbo spits it back, this can be resolved with a port job and bigger cams. With having said that the 450HP turbo is better suited to the RB20 due to its smaller rear exhaust housing the turbo wouldnt be as laggy

watch high performance 4, they go into detail about this turbo upgrade. they use your existing turbo, replace both compressor and turbine wheels with t-04s specs + new bearing pack. and yes, they are ball bearing.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
