Hi guys,

I Have for sale a set of Garrett 2860-5 turbo's.They have traveled approx 10,000 kms. These WERE in working condition when I originally sold them in March. The buyer sent these back to me a couple months ago after what I believe his mechanic stripped an oil feed thread and making one of the cores unusable. Due the the sale being done via PayPal, the buyer has up to 180 days to come back and demand a refund. I had to refund the money and received back a set of damaged snails in the process!
I have had GCG inspect the thread and they have said that you could try and use a screw in fitting which would require the installation of braided lines. Personally, I wouldn't go down that path. However, if you wish to try and they do leak oil that is all on you! What these turbo's could be used for is to put GTX wheels into the housings as many guys use -5 housings for this reason. Another option is to re-core the turbo that has been damaged and you will have a cheap pair of -5's, one core brand new, one core doing approx 10,000 kms.

- Very little shaft play.
- The turbine housing's has been ported to match the manifold to turbine housing gasket. 
- The turbine housing's has been cermaic coated.
- The actuator arm has been modified to increase leverage against the wastegate flap. The actuators are currently set at 19-20 psi from memory. I have had the actuataors set upto 24 psi. This work was carried out by RacePace Motorsport in Melbourne.
- There are two missing studs on one turbine housings.. 

- Turbo's are Located in Georges Hall, NSW.
- Buyer will pay for postage if required.
- NO PAYPAL!!!
- Turbo's have been priced in accordance to their condition and the extra bits mentioned above which are worth a small fortune in themselves. Unfortunately this is not my fault but I have been left holding the baby.
- I take no responsibility for a faulty installation.
- Please understand that one of the oil feed threads is stripped. I cannot stress this enough!
- When received, can you please confirm that these are the items listed within 7 days. This is a condition of sale! I am not interested in hearing back from you in 6 months time with a Walt Disney fairy tale!

Price is $600 ONO.
Contact me through PM.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
