Hey,

Have up for sale a GT2835 Pro S Full Bolt on kit for the RB25.

Decided it was time to pull it off and sell and shoot for 550HP this time, upon pulling it off i noticed that something had gone through the turbine and slightly bent most of the blades and the turbos bearings had started to become a bit noisy car was making 350HP.

Anyway the short of the story is that this turbo was sold to me as a GT3037 Pro S kit by JPS Trading in Japan, I bought a new turbine and shaft to find out it was the wrong size as the compressor and turbine wheels were different to the specs on the HKS USA website and matched the GT2835's specs exactally.

I remember the packaging stating that it was a GT3037 however there is NOTHING stamped anywhere on the turbo itself and the 2 look identical to each other (just ones a bit smaller than the other).

In short, I want $1200 for the kit.. Not to keen on offers as the turbo comes with intake piping to pod filter or standard airbox, plumback pipe from factory BOV, HKS Split dump pipe selling on ebay for $400 on their own which bolts up to ur factory front pipe, braided oil and water lines, silicone joiners, heat shield all nuts/studs and bolts. Only thing you need is your gaskets, this turbo also has all the anti surge crap as well that the garrett doesnt and a 10PSI Heavy Duty HKS Actuator.

The turbo seems just a little bit laggier than i remember it as i barley ever drive the car, however you can source the CHRA (Cartridge) from Garrett OR a Turbo Repairer P/N 700177-3 for about $800 - $1000 or try hammer out the turbine wheel and get it put on a VSR and balanced again (ovbiously once the turbo had been dissasembled and the shaft and turbine had been removed or just put it in and drive. :) ..

Id do it myself and sell it as a kit on ebay however I just cant be bothered anymore Im also quite pissed off that I got sent the wrong turbo when i paid for the more expensive GT3037...

if you go down the path of the rebuild you end up with a rebuilt HKS turbo with all the bolt on accessories for about $2000 - $2200... not bad considering the kit new will cost you around $3600 if not more after postage and if trying to get an after market turbo fitted you can be charged up to $1000+ by the time they have removed and installed a new turbo and fabricated the piping and dump. This kit you can do in your garage on your own in less than a day.

Anyway what you see in the pics below is what you get..

Thanks for looking, kits also been listed on eBay.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
