Hey guys!

So, I have an RB25 R32 GTST - it's been a pretty solid car, however, it's had a problem with boost creep since I replaced the turbo due to the stock one dying. The turbo I got is an ebay one (save your flaming) and has been good for the last 15,000kms. However, as you can imagine, not being able to top out gears 2 and up is kind of annoying :P Before you ask, the reason I've put up with it for so long is because I know the effort I went through to swap out the turbo and I realllly didn't wanna do it again :P

Now the time has come and I'm sick of not being able to use my car the way it's supposed to! So, to the point, can anyone recommend a place in Sydney who can pull the turbo, port the wastegate and put it all back together? Looking for cheap :P

Any other input is welcome as well.

Cheers!

Josh.

And now the cheap turbo starts costing you more than the Hypergear. Lesson learned. :P

My suggestion, buy some tools and learn for yourself. It's not that hard.

Yeah, but at the time my turbo died I was poor and needed my car on the road, so a dirty eBay unit was the trick! In my defence, it HAS done wwhat I wanted it to do, which was get me back on the road, and in fact, it seems to be a really nice turbo.

Also, to note, I KNOW how to do it, I put the replacement turbo in myself. However, circumstances have changed and I have sweet f**k all tools at my disposal and where I park my car has almost no working space, with cars parked either side. Therefore, doing it myself would be too much of a PITA, not to mention the cost of tools will probably be close to what I'd pay for someone to do it anyway :P

So as much as I appreciate the comments, still looking for someone who knows someone in Sydney to do this for me ;)

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lend me a shed full of tools and a space to work for a day :P Preferably the above option first!

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?

      Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
