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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
