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.

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?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
