All turbo's are made by Garrett :blink: companies just put their name on it :laugh:

Kinda. HKS 2530's have a different spec bearing and actuator bodies etc. Same with the GT RS, you can get an equivalent Garrett model, but you'd be slumming it.

ceeebz waiting aroudn

if you ever post the word ceebz or any variant of it, I'll personally ban you.

when you spend close to 180K on your cars your gonna need loans or alot of drugs bro :blink:

pretty sure i saw you out front of maccas not last friday but the friday before on princess hwy around midnight...

Hehe!

So in that case did HKS actually make their own turbo or did they just get a Garrett turbo and install their own bearing and actuator bodies?

Fairly sure Garrett make them to HKS's specs and then brand and package it all up for them.

kinda like paying for a Cartier watch direct from the US instead of rolling into an Aus store? :blink:

(i bought a Garrett instead of HKS.. can you tell?)

no cos it's still the same Cartier watch. If you bought a Cartier Rotonde Skeleton with a flying tourbillon for $130,000 (HKS 2530) instead of a regular Cartier Rotonde $40,000 (Garrett 2530) that would be a fair comparison.

How does one make enough to spend close to 180K on cars at aged 22 working at AAMI?

Genuine question..Not trying to starting anything or accuse you of anything.. :blink:

garrett make turbochargers for HKS and HKS have a special exclusive offer contract from garrett

this means HKS can make up a spec with whatever they like and get garrett to build and garrett are not allowed to sell it

so you can't buy a GT-RS exactly the same from garrett, as HKS have exclusive rights on the wheels, trims, specs, etc

you can get very close, but not the exact same turbocharger from garrett or a garrett reseller

so you cant buy a garrett GT-RS or 2530 or 2540 or 3037s

tourbillons are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity

i think i'll stick to my pov-spec garrett brah :blink:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
