Still have yet to have a serious convo on here lol I know some are better than others (turbos) but surely someone must of had a good run with the china gear?! A 9sec blue vlt in soom some time ago used a ebay manifold and that was still running fine after 40+ hard passes and 1000s of ks. My old gas turbine project was fine at 25psi and 630deg c. Let the haters hate and the metal fragments fly!

At least you are approaching it with a good attitude!

A guy in adelaide turbo'd and El falcon with an eBay spec turbo. Worked for him. Does that help?

Unfortunately I don't think that you will find much info on them.

Yeah it does thanks ben. Ive got a hell of a lot of mags (friends own a newsagency) seems about mid 2000s everyone from the nissans to ford 250s were into the china gear, some still are given 300+ people have bought the gt35 copy from ebay. Yolo I say so at least I can try 2nd time round and when it blows just get a garrett. I dont mind the extra work

I don't know the dude, just chatted at the track.

He mentioned that they are ok when you find the good ones. Which I imagine us hard to do.

I remember his turbo on the comp cover said "turbocharger" which I thought was funny. Maybe that's a clue to the good ones?

I watch a video the other day, a drift teams was using an cheap turbo so yeah occasionally there maybe a good one amongst the crap ones. The hunt is on, let the haters hate! Also going ebay wg shock horror! Im running a ebay boost controller, intercooler, pipe work, plenum and exhaust. Hell I should just put a massive sticker on "sponsored by ebay" haha

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
