you are in the best hands with robbie ward when it comes to rb30's

he helped me a lot with my rb30 setup & also supplied the sump kit with adapter - great guy & cannot speak highly enough of him :)

This is what I was thinking.

The inlets, I would get aluminum pipe mandrel bent at the same angle as stockers and accept that it would use a 60-65mm inlet bellmouthed out and welded to the 3 inch shortened compressor snout.

I agree jangles. The v band idea would work well too.

+1 on both of these. . .trying to get something fabbed up for my build as well. . .I went the Precision Billet equivalents. . .and would like to see if I could keep the TT pipe and oem airbox. . .I would say V-bands are the way to go. . .

Looking forward to updates

I am being told that the GTX2860/2863/2867 all spool almost the same. I have a hard time believing this. All do use the same Turbine.

So just like comparing the old HKS 2510, 2530, 2540's. pretty much same back end, but different compressor wheel. There is quite a measurable difference in response and top end between all 3....

My GTX2860's will be here soon!!!

Sooo, my GTX2860's came in today. Just got either source some turb housings or see if -9 turbine housings fit....

A virgin block is at engine machinists getting prepped to my specs :D

Well the -9's are sold....so I'm definately going GTX now!

The garrett dealer/distributor in Wetherell Park,(not naming names), were of no help in getting the turbine housings I required, when I rang them.

I got online and found CAPA performance. Emailed the guy and he had some on order for me as soon as I gave him the part number....how hard is it!!!?

Kudo's to CAPA!!!!

My housings are in the mail!!!!

hey guys!!

anyone thought of taking their -5 and uprating them to these gtx? 2860 or 2863 ?

It's been discussed somewhere. You would have to machine out the covers to accept the different wheel. Why wouldn't you just buy a set of GTX's and sell what you have?

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
