Hi. I recently ordered a GTX3071R turbo kit. The supplier has contacted me and said there has been a delay as they received a GTX3076R instead, and that the turbo I ordered would take a couple more days to get in. I told him that was strange as I was actaully split whether to get that turbo in the first place.

I have been thinking recently that I would put in a set of forged pistons and ARP rod bolts while the engine is out (I will use the stock RB25 Neo rods). If I am going to do this to the engine do you think I might as well go for the bigger GTX3076R instead and make use of the stronger bottom end?

I have read the other thread about the new GTX30 series turbos and the concensus seems to be that the new GTX3076R is more like the old GT3582R. The car will predominantly be used on the street with the occasional trip to the drag strip. It has all the supporting mods. Will the GTX3076R be too laggy?

Please help me make descision!! And help is greatly appreciated! :)

I know there is lots of information available, and I know it is a decision between more power or more lag. I was just hoping for a quick comment or two from someone to help me go one way or the other because I am sitting right in the middle at the moment, and I need to make a quick decision.

Was this thread started as a joke?

there is SO MUCH info about them that it comes down to you, and your decision.

you either want more power and lag, or you don't.

get out a coin and flip it as honestly you'll end up with a result that way.

everyone has a different view.

Done and done!! I should have it soon, although the rest of the car is going to take me 2 or 3 months to finish putting it together.

Thanks everyone for the input :)

We need more test pilots, so go for the GTX3071

      Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
