Hey guys new to sau and the whole skyline scene. Have got myself a 92 r32 gtst with an rb20 that's sitting on an engine stand currently. I've been replacing bits and pieces such as gaskets and seals before it goes back in so I don't drop it in and find rear seals got a leak etc. I've recently picked up a hks2530 for $200, shaft has slight play with no fin damage, all in all I think it was a good buy but getting back to the means of this post can any of you's recommend a good place in nsw pref closer towards the central coast that will do a rebuild as in new bearings? (Or does the whole chra need to be replaced instead of just the bearings?) any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the shaft play isn't too excessive then for $200 I'd probably just stick the turbo on and see how long it lasts.

If it lasts a year then it's probably worth it. By the time it fails you'll have the money for something better.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
