The guy I got the turbo from is willing to buy me a new shaft. I just need to know the part number for the shaft. Does anyone have any idea?

If its gonna cost me another $200 - $300 to fix, ill pay that. I cant just throw $800 away(thats what it cost me). At the time we both had no idea the wheel was damaged.

Ive been in and driven my mates r33 rb25 with gt3082 .63 on 19psi and its nothing short of fkn wicked.. pulls hard cooks tyres .. 290rwkw. Enough said.

Is it internal or externally gated? Im guessing its external? You'd have a pretty hard time contolling boost with such a tight rear hsng and piddly internal gate.

I thought you already had an external gate ready to go? Whats sort of gate is it? Get someone to weld a flange to your stock manifold as pictured on the page previous...it will work if the gate is big enough...contrary to what Mr High Horse would have you believe, seems there are plenty of people out there that have made this turbo work, including a mate of mine who had the 0.63I/W on his series RB25, made 280rwkw on 18psi, only problem was he couldnt keep boost below 18-20psi...hence my post above...go the external if youre staying with the 0.63 hsng.

Ive got a 44mm tial. The guy I bought the turbo from is helping me organise a brand new one! He also said he will get me one with a .82 rear if I like. I will go with this option and keep it internal. With a bigger housing, the gate should be able to flow enough through to keep boost constant. If not, Ill get the actuator rod locked rather than the flap welded and have a secondary manifold with a WG flange as suggested previously.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
