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

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
