Input on turbo selection is really hard without any clear goals set out! Whats good HP? 500? 600? 1500?

This!

Precision are good! FP HTA are good! Plenty of options for you but we need to know goals if we are to give you any idea of choice....

Despite all my searching and provided info from threads I've tossed up between two turbos,a HKS T51R & Garret TO4Z which would you guys suggest?

Did you research?

Did you read the Precision thread? Did you read the HTA thread? Did you have a goal in mind or just wanna slap a turbo on and hope for the best?

Despite all the advice you have chosen to decide between two out dated over priced units not even being discussed so clearly you are in your own world and will do whatever anyway. Good luck, let us know what you get and how it goes.

I'm aiming for as much power as my forged engine will allow so was just looking at throwing one of the two at it a see what I get.precision is new to me so all I've managed to read about through mags and threads is how everyone uses garret or hks and get good power so haven't read up much on precision.

I think precision and hta are the new standards now if you can. From results I've seen these two brands are just win win over other turbos in all areas. That's only my personal opinion, and my choice is between the 2. I was going to go with Garrett gt40 but have now reconsidered.

Good luck though :)

:yes:

In saying that you cant beat the T51r whistle but turbo technology is certainly making a big difference these days!!!

The T04Z doesn't rate that great against most range Precision and HTA turbos in power and certainly not response. Precision and FP HTA turbos are there to make T51R power with much better response, or go well north of their power potential if you so require. Like well well past anything HKS make.

All you are doing by not thinking or researching is spending more money for less and saving a bit of time. All good if you are happy with that

I think I need to do a bit more digging I guess,sounds like this precision brand has better backing then expected and also seems to be well priced aswell so will do a bit more reading on specs tonight and rethink my decision.cheers for all the input guys great help.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
