Well looks like both the oil seals have gone in my hks gt-ss, so i will need a rebuild kit.

Is it possible to do the job myself? (is it as simple as swapping out the worn/damage seals?)

Also does anyone have the part number for the oil seals? and do i need anything else?

(the shaft and wheels are fine on both turbos and spin with min shaft play)

Seals are just stainless steel C clips. When a BB unit blows smoke it means its 90% had a rub on the housings and needs a new core.

i don't know if they were blowing smoke.

the turbo have aheap of oil in the rear housing, and the front wheels looks like its cover in oil dirt. also there seems to be oil in the inlet were it connects the the manifold

how can i check the core? the turbos are a year old. no shaft play (very min, and spin nicely)

edit: bought the turbo 2nd hand and seller say wasn't blowing smoke :S

Check the oil drain to make sure its not blocked, and nothing is leaking oil onto the housing it self.

If it isn't then I would pull it off and have it check out. BB turbos can only be cheaply rebuild before wheel contacts.

thanks hypergear i will check it out :P

i took them to a garrett dealer here and they said they could be repair, part was $200, labour $300 and rebalance is $75 so works out to be $600 a turbo. If it is a simple swap of a part i rather do it myself than pay the $300labour per turbo.

so i am assuming that they didn't notice any wheel contact.

the oil isn't coming from the pcv/breathers is it? that wouldn't explain the oil in the rear housings though i guess.

I would just pay the money. if it's not done right and they fail the next repair bill will be $1000 per turbo or more (ie bin them and buy a new set). bummer. this is when cheap second hand turbos don't work out cheap.

normally i would agree with you beer baron, but the place i took it too the main sales guy was an asshole to me keep telling me my turbos weremt HKS because they were no marking on the housing and that all hks turbo have marking on the housing, at which point i try to explain to him that the new GT-SS and GT-RS do not have HKS marking but he continue to try and tell me otherwise. and talk down to me

This is the 1st time buying turbos from yahoo that i have had an issue :S oh well even if i have to get them rebuild still cost me cheaper than a set of brand new garrett :)

ok well in that case don't take them to that place. send them to GCG in sydney they can do it. the turbos must have been bloody cheap on yahoo which gives you an idea as to why they are stuffed....

So they sold for about $740, plus getting them here etc and I'll guess import monster commission, let's say $900. Plus the rebuild, which GCG are not going to be cheap, looks like buying dash 9's was the best option.

Surely someone wouldve told you that in your build thread?!

Do you think i would have bought them if i knew they were f**ked?

I have bought many turbos from yahoo and never had an issue, however this time i luck out no big deal, off to get rebuild me thinks :ermm:

Sorry to hear that Kaido

GTR turbos are not something I will ever do second hand!! So painful to change - not like FF and smaller capacity single turbo cars where you can change a turbo over in 30mins.

yeah, didn't like the look of them when i unpacked them so, through i better get them checked out before i spend a whole day putting them on lol

Well of course not, so many gtr owners won't risk it-I guess you're one of them now :)

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
