Nope, around $1100 trade.

But by as they come with wheels (cartridge assembly), labour/balancing to remove and refit given the 3037S is not a off-shelf cartridge IIRC, it'll probably be around 1600-1800 total rebuild price from a reputable rebuilder.

Could be more, but i doubt it'll be any less

so ur saying it would cost me more than to buy a brand new turbo?

so if i can get the turbo for $500 im coming up even, then ive gotta pay for it to be shipped down there and back...and then the labour

If you can buy a HKS 3037S for $1800, i'll buy 10.

The turbo you have can ONLY be purchased with the cartridge/CHRA. They are not rebuildable.

You purchase the whole thing and it comes with front/rear wheels. You need housings then, actuator etc.

I could be wrong and making a dick of myself but.....

He said a HKS 3037s, those are the Garrett versions, HKS get them off Garrett and alter them for even better response/power.. etc... thats why HKS call it a 3037s and Garrett call it a 3076r

As above, that is not a 3037S

Pretty sure the 3037S (HKS) was the only 3076 series to come with a certain size wheel trim.

Its trivial at best in terms of performance gain however, but there is no way they are $1800 new. Only HKS have them 3037S

ok now that we are on the same brainwave, i would be better off buying new Garret GT3076R for $1750 than buying a 2nd hand HKS 3037S and getting it repaired and costing me maybe more....

In reality a Garrett GT3076R is a HKS GT3037S without the bell mouthed insert piece and a HKS turbine housing .

In recent years you could get the 52 and 56 compressor trim versions ex Japan and the matching port shrouded compressor housings as well .

HKS added their own unique bits to an as supplied Garrett turbo , it would not be cost effective for them to buy turbochargers and alter them . They'd have them made to spec which they do/did .

A .

As above, just to confirm that the 3037S core is the same as the garrett item. Both the 52 and 56 trim CHRA can be purchased new from GCG.

The unique items added to the turbo by HKS are the housings. If you were to pick up a busted 3037S WITH THE HOUSINGS for the right price, provided you can still use the housing (not damaged when the turbo blew) you will be able to replace the CHRA with ease.

Both 56 and 52 trim versions available from GCG for under $1400 retail:

The HKS "S" suffix should denote that it runs a "free floating" spec that requires an external gate.

A "Pro S" suffix denotes an internally gated turbine housing.

I sourced a Pro S housing and used it with an assembly sourced new from Garrett. As Adrian said, it comes without the bell mouth insert but otherwise it's the same unit.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
