Hi guys,

My partner just blew the turbo while I was driving right next to her. No boost and a horrible (Awesome?) squealing sound.

Now I've heard of people getting a hypergear highflow/rebuild, as well as GCG.

I'm basically looking for cost effectiveness, happy with a slightly above standard rebuild but no more and not chasing power either. Who/what have people gone with and what are the recommendations?

Based in Canberra, if that helps. And if anyone has a spare they want to sell, I'll take it!

P.S - I did search but kept getting timeout errors

Cheers,

Sean

one simple answer, gcg = ball bearing highflow, hypergear = bush bearing highflow. i realize your have a v6 and i have an rb25 but i just had the same thing happen and from all the stuff i looked at hypergear is your most cost effective answer. he will make you a turbo to suit your needs.

I can't help you with that one sorry. I'm sure the M35 guys will spy this thread soon enough and give you all the info you need. If your keen you could check out the M35 forum some of the guys on here setup, might find some info over there, from memory it's m35stagea.info

We had Hypergear high flow an M35 turbo to close to stock specs (ended up being a sort of "2861" core).

It was a bush bearing job and the owner was very happy with the end result and the price was quite good.

Send GlennM35 a PM, is in Canberra too and may still have his car (haven't heard from him in a while)

The GCG high flow is massively laggy and definitely not for someone who wants a stock type of rebuild.

Andy - What was the costing on your turbo?

Jetwreck - PM'd

As was mentioned above. $1350.

This turbo is slightly laggier than stock but has strong mid range and comes on very strong from 3000rpm. Positive boost starts to build from about 2200rpm.

Hey guys,

Got a few quotes for anyone interested in the future -

GCG $1380 excl shipping

Hypergear $990 incl shipping (slightly larger proficle, bush bearing core)

My mechanic can't fit me in and the next best quote for turbo replacement is $2500.00 labour!!

So needless to say, I'll be attempting the work myself over a number of days (engine in) if anyone has a few tips to help me out, or some specialty tools they found useful.

Any tips? Turbo still in car, ready to be removed when I have time though

Cheers,

Sean

Aaron should be able to help...he got it out in 2 hours! That's with the engine in!

Time for a "how to" guide Aaron? Certainly not a job I'm looking forward to.pinch.gif

Or is that due to your lack of factory heat shields?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
