Hey all, been searching the net and SAU and havent found much regarding slide industries turbo chargers and accessories.

Wondering if any of you have used/are using one of their turbo's and are they any good?

Looking at their ebay ad's. Their "GT35R" is not a real Garrett unit, it's a China copy. The ad really should make mention of the fact - but it doesn't.

Why not just purchase from the trusted SAU Traders down in the For Sale area of the forum? Many businesses, all reputable, catering for anything really.

There are items for people on strict budgets.

There are those that want the best performance regardless of the money.

Given you are looking at economy priced turbos, get something from Hypergear - not some old T04 piece of junk, you will regret it.

Solid advice given above.

Hypergear is the only true reliable and easy budget option IMHO.

Kando Dynamic are a good thing also, but they do entail a lot more effort and custom parts which can end up more expensive (despite the lower initial outlay).

How can they possibly make a t04z and sell it for 700 bucks?? Thats ridiculous.

I got my garret one second hand 5 years ago and it cost a shite load then arent genuine ones upward of 3k?

Nah, got my "old TO4 piece of junk" :rolleyes: new from a garret dealer for $1700..

Thanks for the advice guys, its obvious that its just a headache to go cheap parts, with the time it takes to install and tune only to have it break. i will be keeping my eye out on the for sale thread!

I was looking at their 'GT35' specs are way out, just like the majority of the cheapies ive seen on the market.

I Don't think there as bad as most "eBay" turbos, Ryan "slide" Cummings runs a Slide Industries ( its his company ) turbo kit on his S13.5

That was the kit I was considering.

Would be good to actually get one to test reliablitiy for others to have a cheaper alternative to Garrets and the like.

Ive decided to go a Hypergear turbo, on a top mount manifold though, thanks to some good advice from other SAU members :)

Well given they are not Garrett GT series wheels (look like T04 wheels from the good old 1970s), and likely not ball bearing either...

So fine for a car that lives about 5000rpm most of it's life - terrible for a car you would intend to drive on the street.

When I got my car, I started looking on E-bay for turbos, turbo kits, exhausts, intercoolers and everything you can think of - still do, but not for cheap stuff anymore.

Being new to the skyline scene, found a turbo kit on ebay for 800 bucks!! was thinking awesome, cheap! done! lol. GT35r, manifold, dump pipe, wastegate, everything..

after a few months of reading on here, and researching, more reading and then having another look properly I soon reaslied you cant go for cheap shit. if you want the power and reliablity.

Before knowing any better, had a budget of 4-5k for an engine build and bolt ons.From pricing stuff on ebay LOL. Now im at almost 20k(from other builds on here its still not that pricey) and the car is still not running. Putting things into perspective, the cheap ebay complete turbo kit for $800 that sounded like a bargain, just covers the cost of my turbosmart 50mm wastegate. Turbo by itself was $2200.

You can do it for cheaper, buy cheap turbos and stuff, and make ok power and probably be happy.. but for how long? Do it right the first time, spend the little extra to save you money in the long run.

For a cheaper turbo, hypergear are nice, personally I would look at Borgwarner.http://www.himni-racing.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25_288&zenid=s7s06ugd1cui7p2aoas5usbt61

Exactly, I don't mind using Ebay, if its for good parts as you said stiddy.

Luckily my Skyline had a HKS exhaust and a good fmic when i bought it :D

I would love to buy a genuine garret turbo but as this is a street car and I'm aiming for around 270rwkw with an unopened 25, a hypergear turbo, New injectors and coil packs with my wolf 3d V4 tuned right *should* be reliable. haven't had much luck with this car -.-

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
