Hey guys,

just had this built in Perth.will be on the car soon and tuned at the end of the month.be interesting to see what it pulls

Nissan VQ25 custom upgrade.


Billet GT30 compressor with ceramic ball bearings and bronze cages . HKS GT3035 turbine wheel used for great spool up. Major machining undertaken to make it fit but all in a days work here at Per4manz

Looks the goods, but I think you will have boost spiking issues unless you open up the wastegate hole and run a larger puck...

What is the thrust load tolerance like with the ceramic bearings? The small rear housing will cause a lot of pressure on the shaft. (partly why the Garrett cores have so many problems when shoved in the stock housing.)

I look forward to seeing what it can do, when is it getting tuned?

I raised the point of spiking issue's but grant has assumed me it should be fine (he gave me a full in detail description of it all too)

I have no idea the load tolerances but I'll ask when I pick it up today he's done plenty of rb25 turbos similar to ours,I know he changes the casing to a bronze because the garret phenolic one's let go and the ball bearings are made of nitrate and bores the oil feed to his own specs

Can't get into tuner before the 30th so literally I'll call on the 30th to book and go from there

Does he realise there are three oil restrictors in the sump? I can tell you there isn't much oil supply at the turbo...

I did mention it several time's, it's just what he does as a standard for his Highflow service. Does the same for rb's

Rb don't have the same restrictors setup as vq's do.

It is in the line in an rb, easily replaced.

I was under the impression that on the vq25 with a bush bearing scotty drilled out the banjo's?

This one is ball bearing and getting new braided line's, I would think that should do it?

How much is this costing you? Pm me if you like.

Perth based.

Best thing to do would be to contact grant directly. But it was cheaper than what a lot cheaper than the other places offering a similar service/product

I'll have results in a few weeks once I can put it on and get it tuned

For the info on the wheel and thrust load. He was busy when I picked the turbo up and a mutual friend dropped in so don't have the answers . he has the wheels he uses on his Facebook Page and the ball bearings and cages too

That would depend how much oil the ceramic bearings require, even with the braided line the oil will only dribble out the turbo end of the hose...

The best course of action would be to open up the three in the sump to around 4mm or so; then drill the final external (on the side of the block) to perhaps 0.5mm dia over whatever Grant specifies for the turbo feed.

That way you'll always have more than enough supply; but the braided line isn't running full system pressure. Then your braided line isn't the "weakest link" in the system.

That's kinda what I was thinking along the lines of :) is why I called you the other day :P

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
