thats what i was originally going to do. I sent them an email clearly saying what i was after and it was like i got an automated response saying to send my turbo in. I clearly stated thats not what i wanted to do as the car can not be off the road that long at the moment. So i figured if they cant answer an email properly what is the service actually going to be like... So yeah thats why im looking at other options.

Looks like a garret 3071r has come up at a really good price with dump pipe and braided lines etc. I think i might grab that as thats what the tuner recommended new. Also comes with the adapter flange for low mount.

yeah they're a good turbo.. GTX? or GT? and what rear housing?

Also who's your tuner? curious.

One thing that caught my attention here is that you say it comes with an "adapter flange". By adapter, do you mean a spacer (typically 10mm) so compressor housing clears the manifold?

Reason I ask, is that I believe some GT3071s were sold with cropped turbines and a T25 flanged housing (your RB25 stock manifold has a T3 flange). If this turbo you're looking at has a T25 flange and using an adapter to T3, you might want to think twice about it.

It's probably just me being paranoid on your behalf, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Yeah mate wrong term thanks for the concern. Its definitely a spacer for clearance. Picked it up came with everything. dump, front pipe, braided lines and all pretty bloody cheap. I just hope its in as good as condition as it looks. Its what you get second hand but saved my self a heap.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
