as the topic says

its a sleeve bearing type (cheap for rebuilds)

its basically a R33 turbo with a bigger exhaust scroll and is rotated already for a direct bolt on

the turbo is in perfect condition with minor play

got it checked by a turbo technician and he said its perfect

its a perfect replacement for a R33 or a good upgrade for a R32

its got the T3 flange and has a ceramic wheel but is good for 1 to 1.2 bar on a rb20 because its a smaller engine (16psi)

i have NOT used this turbo yet as i was acumulating parts for a big upgrade but the manual conversion is costing me 1.5k so im going to do that first and the money from this gets me a better clutch

wanting $300 for it which i think is fair and the going price

some info here about it http://www.meggala.com/mods3.htm

that page has everything u need to know about the VG30 turbo and rb20 engines and was the main reason i got this turbo but

hope ya dont mind me plugging ya site meggala

a lot of people on this forum run these turbos so if ya got any question post some threads up about it

bid away pplz!

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
