mmm the GTRs turbine would work with a .49 rear fine. Even now Garrett still use them as upgrades on the 300zx and GTR OEM turbos. Putting a big comp wheel in to small housing will cause surge. But this wheel is not big enough to do that. It will still make reasonable power, in any twin turbo setup you can't have 100% efficiency out of a single turbo out of any housings you put in.

any way, we can supply Garrett GTRS-5 for OEM GTR upgrade at $1250 each. So might want to pay abit more and get that with brand new housings and actuators instead. Depends on your buggdet

Hey mate,

I got mine rebuilt with steel wheels using the existing housing, it cost me around $1200 for the two of them much cheaper than buying -5 or -7. It really depends on what you wanna do with the car, I got 254awkw on 18psi before the clutch started slipping, still a good result with a bit more boost would have been close to 300rwkw. At this level and also very close to mine you need new clutch new afm and new injectors, cost you anround the 2k for the clutch, 600 for afm, 600+ for the injectors and will be out of puff on the fuel pump. in the end I decided once you go above the limit of the std equipment it starts tocost you $$$$. I was content with running close to the limit of my equipment so rebuilding the std items with an upgraded spec was a better option if you dont want to chase big power. If done properly the responce should be better than stock. Its not a job you wanna do a couple of times as its costly if you dont do it yourself. Will send you the guy who did mine if you wanna know.

Also very happy with mine. Yours are gonna have slightly diff comp wheels and housing on the front as well.

Have Fun

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
