Haha not quite that stroked we're looking at building a rev happy 2.7 or 2.8. I was bored yesterday so i got a friend to chase some costs and ito build the bottom end is only going to be 4 grand on what my original build cost

I don't think they are 2835s mate. look more like 2530s. 0.64 rear and 0.60 front..... says 2530 to me. they also look fairly small pysically. they could be some other combo but look nothing like the 2835 kits for GTR.

the HKS GTR spec 2835s are completely different and in GTR kits are twin external gate. they also don't have the two bolt standard type inlet that yours have, they have a larger inlet that takes a silicone joiner. same goes for the outlet, either a joiner or a pipe welded straight on.

agreed, dude keep them (double check tag) and put them on, they should be sweet 330-40rwkw

dude, no way would I spend $1500 X 2 on new cores for those. did you see what the big dady 2835 kit just sold for on ebay? $2K and that was for the big 2835s, with twin 60mm HKS gates (cost $1000 each new), twin HKS manifolds with the bridge (hard to find these days) and all the other little bits. that would make your turbos worth about $1000 second hand for the pair. spending $3K on parts + labour (so say $3500) to repair them is nuts. for $3500 you can get a brand new pair of HKS 2530s which are the perfect turbo for your needs. or even cheaper spend $2800 on a pair of garret -5s.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
