Good call. These guys are directly connected to Garret.

It'll cost $60 to tell you if they are worth rebuilding.

My R34 N1's weren't when I had them tested through Cooma Diesel.

Cost to fix was same cost as new.

So I went new -7's

In time for the weekend. Thats good.

A little advice

Dont baby it too much BUT keep an eye on all the vitals.

Temp, Oil Pressure, Check oil level and quality and Radiator level at least for the month.

Replace the engine oil a few times over the first month. After the first week and last week is good.

Check for metal, fuel and impurities.

Keep an eye on any Knock sensor readings

Open your bonnet after each outing for the first week just so if anything isnt right you pick it up early.

Loose IC piping or water/fuel/oil lines, fine sprays of water or oil leaks.

I'm probably over the top and "anal" but it may just save some future heartache and/or being stranded somewhere.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
