.84 housing will do 500kW on an RB all day, nothing wrong with the housing choice. I pushed > 630kW atw through mine before I started to see signs of a restriction.

That's good to hear! What turbo were you running and at what PSI if I may ask.

6766 on 42psi SR20VET 636kW. This was nearly a couple of years ago and I'm still contemplating going back to this for the street.

Simon that's great power for a 6262. They are electric to drive on an RB.

sorry i didnt read through the whole thread but ive got a couple of quick questions.

Which turbo would be closest to matching a 35R with .82 rear?

whos the precision dealer of australia?

6262 probably the most sensible alternative - though I'd look hard into finding the cause of your failures, it is really unlikely that it is a Garrett specific issue... LOTS of people here and everywhere are using Garrett turbos or Garrett units based on Garrett cartridges, old and new with no way near the issues you are having - your car won't be taking specific objection to the turbo being Garrett, while it's hard to be sure I'd be a bit concerned we'll see a post about a Precision or something else failing in the near future if you put a new turbo on without changing anything.

It's 100% not the car. Everything has been checked. Double checked and then checked some more. I have all the correct parts and nothing pointing towards anything sinister ever pops up.

There have been a large number of failed garretts in the drift scene lately. Some of these cars have a Failed Garrett after a few days and then go on to run kandos for a long period of time with out issues

So yeah. I'm kinda looking at other options atm. How much for a 6262. What's the next size down from that?

Was it a GT35 Simon? What happened to it?

I have had brand new Precisions fail on customer cars, even before the tune, every manufacturer can have occasional problems I guess. Just seems those GT35 cores with plastic cage bearings aren't the best for hard work. No issues with any of the GTX's I have fitted, and mine has copped a hiding.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
