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.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
