The highflow turbo will cost you 60% more to have done and there is down time while you are waiting for them to be done. The -7's are only $2250 for the pair or if you want to go get a pair of second hand N1's then they will do the same job.

yes im aware of that, but no one's compared it to the high flow's

As above - why bother?

You can get the Garretts for ~$1200ea.

For a bush hi-flow of GTR turbos its probably $700ea, and probably not far of $1200 for ball bearing cores anyway.

Im not sold on it being 60% more expensive... but the simple reason of its baasically cheaper to buy one news that are proven to work... choice is simple there

Bush bearing high flow is $1550 per turbo and BB high flow is $1800 per turbo.

Where did you get your prices from?

1.5k for a bush bearing hi-flow... wow.

hyper gear and so on, they are half that for a bush, as are many other suppliers/hi-flow around the 800-900 mark.

I paid 1.1k for my GT30 when i had it rebuild a few years ago...

-New BB cartridge (if the shaft comes separate, new one of those also)

-New front wheel

-Machined comp housing

Turbine/turbine housing was OK.

Most of the cost is the cartridge at around 400-500 from memory and this was from Rotomaster here in Vic

ye but they are bush bearing and so on.. you have a GTR, you shouldnt be attempting anything on the cheap

?? its not like its risking anything with bush bearings, ill loose out a few hundred rpm on spool but until i get qualified i dont have a hell of alot of money. so they might just have to last a couple of years

and so what if i have a gtr?? do you think the bloke with his gts-t thinks any less of his car???

Its just my opinion.

You have a GTR, you put the best parts for the job on as you've got the best with a good head, plenum, TT setup etc. Why compromise?

Buying a GTR and not having money are two things that shouldn't be put together... and again, thats my opinion

i understand what your saying, im just trying to get best bang for my buck, after all that what the 32 gtr is know for, lol

so my story is im trying to get the car ready for doing a track series of some sort (maybe the street series one at barbagello that no-limits is organsing)

so stock turbo's have got to go, coz i dont want to have to rebuild the engine if the comp wheel blows up

so if i can save 400 or more on turbo's, that my new coil pack sorted :)

also getting vi-pex because im after decent protection for my car...

Its just my opinion.

selling the standard turbos will net you something towards some new -7's

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
