I'd be a bit cautious buying that...

I'd contact Kyle from 6Boost

Turbo - 1600

Gate 44mm Tial - 600

Plus go for a 6 boost manifold you can get it for 1000 or just get a chineese mani for about 300

You don't wanna get a cheap wastegate - if it fails can be devistating...

Edited by axe s

Helped a mate to fit one of their manifold. The bolt pattern to the engine head is wrong. had to slot 2x bolt wholes 5mms cross to make it fit. The manifold to engine flange is also bent which had to be machined. Seller is very unhelpful, he's fully aware of those problems and did not mention it on his ad. So's Flyns, same shit. The only thing that is good in this kit is the turbo, that is assume its not a copied Garrett.

too exe anyway, be better off with what axe s says or troll the for sale section on here.

I know this one is sold, but its an example of what you can buy http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...rt-t293148.html

Also, forget all the shiny bits, they only stay that way until your first drive, then they start to tarnish and colour up, so a near new s/h one is worth a look.

Good turbo choice but get one from GCG and get a Tial 44 mm external gate not a 38 and get the 0.83 turbine hsg and get it ceramic coated and get a 6 boost manifold of Kyle and get it ceramic coated also.

Going with such a large turbo on a std engine it might be worth getting a set of HKS 256 and 264 cams to help the engine out nd be prepared for more lag the car will be heaps different to drive around town.

Unless you are willing to spend 7-8 K and get it done correctly then do not attempt it, you will regret it when it gets defected and you are getting smoked by people with HKS 2835 Pro S and HKS GTss bolt ons.

A GTss Kit is a pinch of piss to install and without cams but including all the other supporting hard ware you will get 250 RWKW with std response and by looking at the engine you will not even know you are packing heat. But if you want a bit more power than go the HKS 2835 Pro S and get some cams and you will easily get around the 280 rwkws, fun times.

Happy hunting.

those manifolds are pure CRAP i brought one an it didnt bolt up at all.. it hit against the casting ribs down the side.. took like a month to make the B**STURD refund my money to.. highly advised DONT BUY ONE

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
