Hi all

if anyone has an old standard M35 turbo they want to sell (or loan), please let me know.

It doesn't have to be working, as long as there are no cracks on the inner turbine & compressor housings.

I'm wanting to get one high flowed & then swap over with mine so as to have minimal time off the road.

Will be happy to return my turbo after this if you want it for your own project (it could be better than your current one).

Alternatively, in the interests of helping out the community, I can make it available for others who would like to do the same swap as me - sort of a loan turbo.

Cheers, Leon.

Sounds like you might be going down the Hypergear route?

I'll also be interested in utilising a loan turbo in a few months if someone is prepared to make one available, or if you want to defray the cost a bit Leon.thumbsup.gif

I would lend my housings out but there's no guarantee I would have a good set if I ever decide to put it back in. I may know where to get another damaged turbo though, I will get back to you.

You guessed it, lol. It looks like the best value option for my needs, but I've only really been thinking about it for a few days.

It makes sense to me to have one ready to go in at the same time as you take the old one out. Could be a bonus if you're paying for workshop time, or if (like me) you forget how you got the bolts out the week before.

Thanks Scott, it'd be great if you stumbled across one in your travels. I'm in no particular hurry as my car is still driveable, for now.

Didn't I read recently where you said you hadn't seen a standard turbo with a cracked housing? But I wouldn't be lending yours out if it is still in good working order.

I've got one too FYI Leon.

Cheers

Haha, they're everywhere it seems. Thanks mate, but I think I'm right to go.

Good to know Jase, I might need one too! :thumbsup:

Did you high flow yours?

That was the plan, just haven't gotten to it. That said, I'm not sure my spare is even stuffed? Has no side to side shaft play, maybe a little in-out play.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
