$500 for the cart, then $200 for assembly/balancing/labour.

You MUST get it done by a professional, it's not something you can do in your backyard. So $1500 is about right once you add in the other costs... It's not just a case of a cartridge and you are done.

Who knows!??!?! :laugh: The fact that its a performance application means i would want to be sure it has 360 thrust bearings etc unlike some of the cheaper std prod car 270deg stuff. I suppose there is only one way to find out....but its a risk. The billet turbo guys claims to be able to re do the Greddy turbos with water cooler, ball bearing centres. I have a spare TD06-20G that was ear marked to have this done.

the rebuild price you have been quoted seems a bit on the high side for 2 plain bearing turbos to me but not far off the mark. I would expect around 12-1300 if the wheels are ok. If you are in sydney try fred at turbologic (port kembla) as he has a lot of experience with the mitsu gear. Also precision at wetherill park is worth a go.

That 2-300 is worth paying as you have local warranty/support.

If you had a shagged comp or turbine it may be worth looking at the ebay turbo. It'll be equivalent to something like hypergear over here except using mitsubishi catalogue bits. For some reason we pay a ridiculous premium on mitsu turbo bits over here.

Not sure what nismoids getting at. buy a cart, it's already balanced, swap on turbine and comp housing (in your back yard even). If you had to pay someone to put the housings on i'd be pretty cheap ~50 a turbo as it really is a 20 minute job.

be careful with these i have had a few customers through (done by large well known performance turbo reman guys) and the cars were never able to match the old numbers.... We had them pulled down and it seem they also used garret wheels (whole garret core) and machined the housing to suit. In these instances the turbos where inferior...... just made a cool spool down noise on shut down :P

I wouldn't trust an unknown company... so i would be getting it rebalanced/checked over here anyway TBH.

Too many people buy stuff over ebay and it comes poorly balanced and so on.

And then x2 that... just to risky for me personally.

Hi,

it comes with MHI bearing housing, compressor wheel, turbine wheel and KAMAK performance thrust bearing kit the strongest kit in the world.

we assembled this CHRA on our Schenck 110 VSR machine.

It is stronger than Greddy one

thats what they said about the item above on ebay?

Being a Mitsu turbo, it should be cheap to get them done, considering you can pick up new CHRA's for under $1000. $500 to fit housings sounds like bollocks to me....

I've had dealings with MTQ and them seem pretty well priced for what I've had.

Also keep in mind that most shops won't give an accurate qoute without eyeballing the turbo.

ive used thier gear but cant say much at this stage, i havent got enough time on the gear to know if its gonna last but i I am testing 2 of their turbos for reliability as we speak :) and ive used their CHRA's without any dramas so far.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
