$1800-$2000 is the price, if you are lucky you might get one for $1750.

MTQ, HPIAB, GCG etc are all pretty much that price.

Any supplier on any given day might have different pricing, so ring around a few.

Price seems to fluctuate depending on the price at the time - however you seem to be under some impression that's now what they are worth?

^That is the 52T, T04S wheel - 7 blader.

He is after the 56T.

$1400 basically. ($1500AUD)

Plus shipping and so on, probably cheaper overall if you can afford to wait, but its marginal.

Although good luck if its rooted/dies when it gets here, suppose not that you can really get warranty of them anyway if they die.

Remember the aussie stock was most likely purchased not @ 92cents, and even if it was - you'll never see a retailer pass on the saving to the end consumer in this country

ash: im mainly after prices from said suppliers, i know that the 1900 price is the normal retail price but who likes paying full retail....

dale: thats cheap! but whats with that rear housing?? edit: ah i see its a 7 blader also lol

Problem is though there is not a massive margin.

You are talking $150 maybe if you are lucky $200?

If you can get them here from the US for what... $1600-$1650 delivered (freight, insurance) then $150 more makes it the $1800 which is not a bad price.

2k is a bit much though.

150 saved is 150 to go towards other shit. thats the way i see it mate

Not if it comes over here with a faulty cartridge or something... you'll soon be outta pocket a bit more than that (and the time).

But each to their own on that one. Some things i just won't buy from O/S if possible. Turbo's are one of those things.

If the -9's were availble from Garrett 5-6 years ago instead of HKS GT-SS's i'd have gone that way right off the bat rather than import :P

yeah fair enough, but im talking about buying local, and any local dealer will have a warrenty scheme. if they dont then they shouldnt be in business.

Get it local dude. You will no doubt have questions when your putting the turbo on and these local guys are one phone call away and they will help you. You get peace of mind with warranties etc.

MTQ are really good thats where i got mine.

when i was shopping around for myne i contacted atleast 10 different businesses, by phone and email. a few didnt even reply and then most that did tried to talk me out of a 3076 and into a highflow or they didnt have the exact type i was after, only cropped turbine t25 flanged versions. mtq were the only place that would actually listen to what i wanted and ordered exactly that from their wharehouse in QLD. got the turbo with a machined out wastegate port and bigger flapper, actuator, bracket and spacer for $2000. a lot of the other places were cheaper at the time none of them were the proper 3076 that everyone here wants.

if you can find it cheaper then go for it, but make sure your getting what you want and not whatever the seller wants you to have

I got mine from Turbo Australia in Brisbane... They are awesome guys, very helpful even with after sale service.

Ditto. They were very helpful

I got a true 3076r .82 int no actuator for $1800

ext gate was $1650

Have you tried CRD?

I sourced my turbos from there and were extremely competitive compared to other sellers such as ATP etc etc.

We also purchased a 3071 from them a while ago and from memory it was 1700 or so, but more to the point it was the best price going around at that time compared to others.

Give them a call.

P.S there is one in the FS section but I dont know what the exact specs of it are.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
