Yes 6262 is the cheapest single kit on there, then need more fab work to connect to cooler and dump/front pipe. Though the 3.6k price is not a BB turbo. 

How much power will it make? 

Much cheaper to put new wheels on both I would say. 

Make some calls tomorrow.

He can do 64mm billet wheel but that's too big, I don't want more lag.

I'm having a chat with him about other ideas, some sort of hypergesr hybrid, but we'll see what he comes up with as I already grabbed some more -9s that came up as you don't see them anywhere near as often as 7s or 5s.

Buy my gtx3582 :P

 

Sorry to hear about the turbo dude.
How'd it actually fail anyhow? Being down 9kw isn't usually a sign of a completely failed turbo... seems to have only failed..... a bit?

Already bought some more -9s, much cheaper and faster to just swap them in rather than have to buy new manifold and fab new intake and dump pipe (needs to go to different shop) and that's just for IWG option, which everyone here will jump up and down about it definitely needing a full TS setup the whole way through.

You do realize that the turbines and the "infamous twin turbo pipe" are the likely cause of the twins failing? 

So throwing a billet wheel in thats gunna require being spun harder is only gunna put you back in the same scenario and faster. Poor man pays twice. Cheap out and pay for another set of turbos in another 5000km ?

 

Other than stealthiness there's really no reason to buy more twins nowadays. If you buy two new twins, you could buy a single + manifold/fab to fit that for the same money.

Obviously cheaper if you replace it by buying one single, but then again the real savings are in known good second hand turbos ;)

Still curious how a turbo can fail causing only a 9kw loss though? Maybe just detune the thing to 300kw and drive it around for awhile.

Able to diagnose a turbo failure without seeing it/the car/knowing the rest of the setup etc? 

Where were you when I was chasing the issues that lead me to pulling it down and finding the problem. I could have used your magical diagnostic powers lol ;D

The question about the billet wheel was just that, a question, I've heard/read various shit about them so asked the question as an option. If there was an identical shweel size that was lighter and would spool faster for a few bucks more, sure I'd look at it. Can't learn about the pros and cons without having a discussion though, I think some of the people on here forget this is a forum sometimes.

Stealthiness/defect issue/RWC when selling later/cost are all factors.I am not buying new units, I found some mint ones for less than the price of 1 new one. New ones are 2400 for a pair as it is, the cheapest single kit is, what, 4k new? For a journal bearing 6262 that then needs more fab work and aooarently has shit response anyway.

Second hand manifold and single always an option, but still not as cheap as the pair of -9s I grabbed which will get me the result I wanted. To be honest, I'm tired of throwing heaps of money at it so a cheaper/faster option was desirable for me. Nobody else has to like it, it's not their car :)

Not detuning to 300kw either, crazy talk.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
