G'day everyone!

I have a technical question that i cant find any info on - on here, so thought i should ask.

Purchased 2x new Garrett 707160-5 / GT2860R turbo's for the 32 GTR.

Tag on them Labelled from Garrett - 707160-5 / GT2560R

I went about changing the pieces over and came to the oil drain pipes, they dont fit !?

The original Drain pipe bolt holes are spaced much further apart compared to the new turbo's mounting position.

Has anyone had this issue with their swap of turbo's or are the new ones labelled wrong and henced supplied wrong?

Does anyone knnow what the deal is with them labelled 2560 not 2860 also?

Please help.

Many Thanks

Harry

Yeah Garrett in their infinite wisdom decided to change the oil drain side to T28. As stated above you'll need to file them out to match the other holes. You may also note that one of the comp cover bolts will foul on the oil drain. IF you don't grind an angle on the head of the bolt it will stop the oil drain from sealing properly so make sure you do that as well

Those turbos are 2860s. The 707160 number shows that, they just must have put the wrong tag on them.

Also make sure the oil drains seal real good, use a new gasket and tighten the f**k outta those bolts. They are the biggest pain in the arse, imagine replacing the turbos and everything only to find that the oil drains leak. Then you have to rip them off all again to seal them up again. That's been the story if my life for the last 2 days :)

Thanks for the help guys.

GCG called me back today, these turbo's are designated under GT2560R now. (707160-5, 707160-9, 707160-10)

You can buy a kit from them now for the drain pipes with this new size - XTR420043.

You can find it here:

I have one coming, i'll let you all know if it sorts the issue with having to file the compressor housing bolt for clearance also.

Still, this doesnt help if your like me and have the Nismo oil catch can. The Nismo fitting needs to be modified to this new flange size to bolt up.

I might see if they can make an option part for that also.

Cheers.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
