I have a pair of hks gt ss turbos for sale... They are used but in awesome condition.... These turbos have done bugger all km's as there is next to no shaft play.... Side to side or in out! I need these gone ppl. $1700 ono comes with the hks actuators. Reason for sale is I'm gonna chase 800- 1000hp and these just won't cut it. They will make 600hp plus apparently. They are very responsive and they pull awesome through the whole gear. My loss your gain. Very clean turbos..... You will not be dissapointed

Hey mate.

These are great turbos indeed, but infact are actually only rated to ~560hp and real world results on the dyno thread have shown these to be at thier limits at around the 340awkw (450hp) mark, the response & midrange is great making these the perfect turbo for street use according to some but i think 600hp+ is abit off the mark.

Anyways thats my 2c GLWS mate.

Yeah but you suffer more of a loss being four wheel drive yeah? So if you make 350kw at all four its about the same as 400kw rear wheel which would work out about 540- 560hp right..... I have seen somewhere someone making 600hp with these turbos in a thread somewhere I'm sure of it!

Im certainly not an expert in 2wd to 4wd dyno results difference but everything ive read in Drivetrain & Transmission Section points to the direction of 20-30kws tops and not a percentage like most people have been lead to believe.

Although most results have been with 98Ron & e85 has changed things up abit...

And then there is this.....Today, we are going to take a look at the smallest turbocharger currently offered by HKS, the GT-SS.  Officially, HKS rates the GT-SS turbo for 280ps, which is roughly 276hp.  It is worth noting that HKS power ratings are indicative of wheel horsepower, rather than flywheel horsepower.  In practice, the hks gt-ss has been shown to develop as much as 320ps, or around 315hp.  HKS currently offers the GT-SS in various engine specific packages to make installation and bolt on affair.  All GT-SS kits come with all required gaskets, bolts and fittings.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
