Here is the answer from GCG (for my RB25DET - may be different for M35):

1) We use the factory bearing housing and modify it, we do not use a Garrett "cartridge" as such to replace the internals.

2) Exhaust wheel = Stage 3 T3

3) Compressor wheel = T04E

4) A/R is same as the factory housings that come on the vehicle from Nissan, we do not modify, or touch any of the external housings on this unit.

As we are the only people who can build these units in ball bearing, we don't like to give away too much detail, i'm sure you can understand.

Cool, thanks for that Kiwi :P

Out of interest what model of Garrett (?) turbo is fitted to your RB25DET?

I was wondering if they were the same model that the M35 adopted.

I'm getting a bit excited in anticipation of my GCG High-flow :P

No the S1 Stagea turbo has a T3 flange but that may be the only thing in common. It doesn't seem to have a Garrett code on it, from memory it just says "Nissan" but its .40 A/R . The S2 had the neo engine with the GTT turbo with a bigger exhaust housing and the M35 as pictured earlier has M24N stamped on it as well as .60 A/R

Jetwreck has given me a rundown on what hassles I need to go through to remove the turbo and I'm not so sure I want to do it myself lol too much that can potentially go wrong and many things I can potentially break ;)

I think I might use a reputable workshop to do the dirty work, anyone got any suggestions of a workshop to approach for a estimate on doing it.

The turbo will probably be a week to two to get turned around, hopefully a workshop that can safely push the stagea to the side out of the way until the new turbo is ready to go back in would be ideal. I don't want to be getting the poor girl tray trucked all around the joint.

I get my spare turbo tomorrow. Yah. :)

let the learning begin.

Woo hoo! Sounds good.

If you havn't done anything with it by the time I ready for high-flow I may be calling on you :P

I was thinking about what you said and I'm leaning towards the turbo out & in in one day, especially if I can line the exhaust up at the same time. Would be the easiest way, then it's off to SAS for a tune.

I may have secured an ECU, just waiting to confirm they have a VQ25DET not a VQ25DE, considering it's an Australian wreckers I highly doubt they have a VQ25DE Stagea Half-Cut so it should be right.

were you right? :D

Does anybody on here have a turbo charger for sale for VQ25DET  Garrett M24N  mines stuffed and has a cracked exhaust casing.  Was about to get it rebuilt but they discovered this. 

Thanks!

Have you tried Joe Kyle? Or the four or five Nissan wreckers in Auckland?

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
