Hey all

I'm getting an upgraded turbo for my R34 but apparently its bein made from scratch its a garrett GT30. Just wondering if anyone knows If it takes a while to make and why, Its gettin made by a workshop here in perth so if anybody knows peeps who work for this shop let us know.

I've been waiting for at least 4 months now, its gettin annoying.

seriously.

I forgot to say that apparently the rear housing on the origanal turbo was easily cracked by a slam of a hammer, i mean i 've heard that this workplace that is doin my turbo upgrade is expensive but does good work that isn't an issue for me i want my car to operate fine for me so i just want to know what the hell is going on, so i can continue to smoke monaro's at the lights

Nah i didn't have to put down 3 g's thats what i wanted to do to pretty much pay off the whole thing. I'm also getting injectors and an air flow meter so at the moment i only owe bout a grand, don't know how much they will charge for the re-tune.

But all in all, this workshop is well known, they are always busy, they do charge a buck or two and i don't think the owner would risk bad reputation from installing a johnny cut corners turbo. So they always do good work.

Just wanted to know if anyone was makin these turbo's in perth, it's a garrett GT30 with a bigger rear housing, if you got these made and ready maybe someone can contact a performance workshop in Malaga.

Wink, wink, knudge, knudge.

Apparenty it could be easily cracked by dropping it or slamming it with a hammer so thats why they are rebuilding a whole load of them.

But tell me when once installed in your car it is going to be dropped or hit with a hammer?

so the millions of people using garrett housings are all at risk of smashed turbine housings? i've never ever seen any turbine housing of any brand break in any way..... they're the strongest part of the turbo ffs

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
