Anyone Want To Swap My Turbos Over For Me - Cash Job?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

So my 32 GTR has experienced some turbo issues and I have a set of standard 32 GTR turbos (2nd hand in good condition) and a turbo gasket kit ready to go ... only problem is ... I need someone to do the swap for me! Anybody here know what they're doing and able to do it ASAP (I need my car for work!). Will pay cash...

Let me know if you're interested - car is located in Patterson Lakes but I can get it towed (within a reasonable distance)

Cheers

I would kindly offer but I have a few other cars to finish first. Hopefully someone else can help you.

Personally, if I was removing the ceramic turbos, I would replace them with brand new -9 Garretts, not old shagged oem turbos. It's hard enough to do the job once without finding out the replacement ones are stuffed and doing it all again. When the OEM ones let go they often take the engine with it, it's just not worth the risk imo.

Take it to OTR in Clayton/Springvale

Can't guarantee a fast fix but they are reasonably cheap.

Also, how do you know it's a problem with the turbos themselves?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
