hey mate the hks 2530 is pretty much a re branded garrett 2860 and garrett are a bit cheaper and alot easier to come by the only diffrence is the hks spools a little bit quicker but not much youll bearly notice..

unless your looking at getting the 2530 external gated then ignore all above haha

Ahk thats good to know, yer im looking at getting the hks 2530 with external gate, just trying to keep everything the same? Whats the difference between external and internal gate, as far as installing wise and stuff? I take it the garet 2860 is internal gate?

Yer the garrett is internal, is this for a gtr? so twins? or just single?,,,the 2860 -7,-5,-10 turbos and yes there in that order smallest to largest there a turbo made by garrett for the gtrs they have the t25 flanges so there a direct bolt on to the stock manifold..as for the diff between internal and external waste gates im still fairly noobish but as far as i know an internal gated turbo has an inbuilt waste gate and actuator on the turbo, a external gated turbo the waste gate is fitted to the manifold as apose to being on the turbo it self, as for the fitting for an external gate if its for a single set up youll need a custom manifold with a tial vband for the waste gate the be placed your better off talking to 6boost about this stuff because its there bread and butter and i have yet see a better made manifold youll find them in the buisness section

Whats the difference compared to hks2530

hardly any. responsive 250rw

Actually the difference is in the detail, it's defnately not as direct fit as a hks2530 in the fact it has a 3" inlet compared to the hks Oem/direct fit intake, also the 2871R is marginally less responsive but produces higher output...

Comes down to the following, wheels sizes/trim & housing a/r...

Hks2350 .60/.64 smaller wheels

Gt2871r .60./.86 larger wheels

GT2871r rated to 390hp(48 trim) or 440hp(56 trim) is closer to the GT-RS from the hks family...

A garrett gt28rs (rated to 350hp) is as close as youll get to a gt2530/gt2535 from hks that your looking for...And at around $1400 or so new is really hard to argue with asits brand new with warranty. Just make sure you specify to the supplier you a after the skyline oem t3 6 bolt rear housing...

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
