Hard to say as who is the cheapest as this will change at different times.

Points to note:

- Other parts are required such as dump pipe, oil and water lines etc. Make sure you have a good grasp of whats required.

- Make sure the price is for the internally gated option.

- Do not buy a housing with the 6 bolt skyline flange, make sure you get a proper garrett exhaust housing and just simply buy a new dump pipe and bolt that up to a 3" front pipe.

Few people have got them through this place and reckon they were the cheapest in a kit and were good to deal with:

Thats for the 52T version, there is also a 56T.

They are ridiculous prices! Whats the catch?

Seems he keeps his overheads low by working from home and carrying minimal stock so some items sourced overseas might take a while to arrive. The upside of that would seem to be that you are not limited by what he stocks but can choose from the entire catalogue of his suppliers..

His turbo's come straight from MTQ in adelaide, took bout a week 2 get mine, he doesnt even see the parcel just orders direct from the source with a great price! my tuner still doesn't know how he sell's them so cheap. but other things he does have to source from the states like kiwi said but that is also fast shipping my mate got eboost street from states in like 5 days

I think MTQ fit theirs with the larger unported shroud comp cover, different turbine wheels and in between sized rear housing.

Reports say its less responsive.

If you want the 3076R, go the genuine Garrett specs as per their website.

GCG sell it unchanged.

TweakIt sell full kits.

they sell you whatever you ask for. if you just go in and ask for whatever gt30 they've got then you havent got much chance of getting the right one. go in and ask them to supply the exact turbo you want and they will. they even modified myne for me to make the internal gate bigger.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
