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

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
