True that, but beggers can't be choosers right now. I'm after a quick fix of boost :)

TITAN and Cejay are right, that turbo (JJR480) looks to be a re-badged KKR480. Some people swear by these turbos but for reliability, response and overall performance they are second rate turbos. ;)

If I'm correct the KKR turbos are bush bearing, whereas the higher end brands like Garret, HKS etc are nearly all ball bearing - meaning quicker response (less lag) and better all round power delivery (not to mention reliability).

If you arent planning on keeping the Skyline then go for it, but if you want something that will last as long as the car you cant go past Garret, HKS, Trust etc... They may cost more initially but if they are installed correctly with decent boost control you wont have to replace them for a long time.

"Do it once, do it right".

You don't want that 3082. massive compressor and a tiny exhaust housing you would be better off for you power goals with a 3071R or 3076R both with a .82 rear.

Ok guys, you've talked me out of going with the cheapo JJR one, thanks :D

Whats the consensus here about highflowing my stock turbo? how much and is it worth it??

Also whats the general consensus on TiTAN's comment on the 3082 turbo?? it sounds alright to me, but what would i know :wave:

Thanks again guys for your input, look forward to meeting you all in the near future.

On another note, I've got a power steering leak, i figure its through the main hose that comes out of the bottom, I hear its a common problem that they heat/swell up and crack, has it happened to anyone else?? Anyway, I just ordered that part from Nissan in Belconnen (Lennock motors) and the bastards charged me $95 for seriously that 30cm hose!! WTF.... anyway, thats my little rant. But I guess I have no option.... :P ...was gonna get a generic hose but it'll probably end up kinking cause theres a few turns in it.

TITAN is right... I really just posted that link because its a good price.

If you want response and decent power, go for a GCG GT30/71R bolt on kit - perfect for smaller capacity engines up to 240 - 250rwkw.

Ballbearing turbos are heaps responsive, just be prepared to pay for it.

Call up and get a quote for a highflow, a few years ago it was $600-$700.

BTW, Do you have a RB20 or a RB25? I'd probably agree with a GT30/71R if they were your choices....

to hiflow a rb25 turbo was $2000+ from gcg. rang them this morning. an rb20 one was $19xx last time i rang. i have a gt3071r for rb20/25 and nessessary parts to go with it in my room. clutch, cam and gears, injectors. all unused.

any turbo that big would be overkill for 180-200kws and would be stupidly laggy on the 20 motor, and the turbo on the forums was full boost at 5000 rpm :down::)

An Hks GTSS or 2530 (2510 would be perfect, but if I find one I'm buying it) would be perfect for a little over 200 (230 tops) but full boost is around 3500, and they bolt straight on. most of garrets smaller turbos are t2 flange and are designed for SR20 and ca18's, so don't even bother with them.

You should also keep in mind that with a stock turbo with no boost(10psi), a tune and just a few other normal mods(turbo back zorst and intercooler, I made 170 rwkw, and if you put an rb25 turbo on, you should make 180-190rwkw+ with a tune, zorst and intercooler and a bit of boost (12psi)

BTW I have a RB20 and Im sticking with it. I love the eagerness and the revs. I compete in motorkhana's, so I really need the response and I wouldn't consider anything larger than the HKS turbo's

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
