hi guys just found a set of r33 gtr vspec turbos for $500 but will take $340 tonight on had 60000km on them what you think as a trial

No good mate, all the stockers are no fun. They break easy and cost an arm and a leg to install, so you are likely to be doing the job twice if you get em.

-9s are better than -7s, you should buy a pair of -9s off a one of the forum sponsors then get em fitted. You will need an ecu yes, powerfc or nistune are good for your application.

Without changing the injectors or AFMs the -9s will get you a tidy 280kw. With injectors and ecu (a lot of money later) you will get 300-330kw.

-7 = G't 2860

Thanks for advice & help from Steve-0 and Yavuz (aka Unigroup Engineering)

Bosch 044 fuel pump

Denso 700cc injectors

Tomei Poncams Type B 260/9.5

Tomei adjustable cam gears > advanced to get bottom end power from 3200rpm

Power FC D-Jetro

GReddy DSBC set at 20-21psi

Blitz Front Pipe

Kakimoto 90mm Mega N1 Premium Exhaust with hi flo cat

So many other comparable outputs on this thread on "Search"

-5 propellors recommended too as I was considering these.

This is bullshit...they should be covered by the warranty...wear and tear is items like brake pads and tyres...not friggen turbos. Speak to the MTA in NSW and see how you go from there....

Does the car have a boost controller etc. Chase this warranty up before you spend any money.

hi guys i got 2 gt2860 -7 on it works insain no smoke nothing all is good thanks so much for your help also it had a boost controler thats y they said its not covered as they dont know if i have stuffed around with it but im very very happy with the results now do any of u have adjustable cam gears in your car and are they worth it also what cams should i get i want it to be abit lumpy like a tuff gtr

You might want to invest in purchasing some full stops, because your post is quite difficult to read.

There is plenty of people using cam gears and getting good results. As Nismoid would say... Search.

You should be investing in a tunable ecu and a re-tune first though, as the -7's will flow better than stock so the tune will now be out considerably. Optimise what you have first, and tune it so its safe. Then look at Terry's list and start shopping.

Good choice man, but please dont drive the car hard until you get an aftermarket ecu tune. Cam gears get great results as most people who have them will attest but when you do them, do the timing belt too. It saves on labor and although it says to change at 100k, rubber does corrode and crack over time so for piece of mind, do that too.

...as in Post #23

Those Tomei drop-in cams 'n gears helped to put more area beneath the power curve = much less lag = more bottom end power

I can't stress enough how much a good tuner will get the best out of your car.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
