I've been wondering guys, how much would mt GTR be worth in australia?

123000km on the clock, decent paint, paint looks nice but not the best quality, the entire interior is there but both seats have a small rip on the bolsters nearest to the door and it shows its age (wear and tear on the leather parts) Full adjustable coilovers, 18'rims, nicely rolled fenders (looks really good). Rest is 100% stock.

How is this relevant to the topic? Make a new thread. Also, look at other cars that are selling that are close to your spec. Shouldn't be hard to see what the market is paying for them.

Bruh, we've been talking bout moosepower and canadian domestic market air before and you think that was on topic?

Things aside, I'm being real impatient getting my sky back so I'm rummaging through the forums to keep busy when I'm not working.

$15-$25k

Maybe more with the "external BOV" ;) 

Well f**k.

I called the tuner this morning to have some more news. His dyno is ready and everything is set for a dyno run... Except the GTR.

The oil pressure is low af. So low that the oil pressure light sometime comes on when it's idling. He doesn't want to dyno it in that state.

He's currently investigating to what causes said issue. I'm afraid I have a messed up oil pump and will need to get it replaced. Could possibly explain the oil leak I have. Should have some more news coming.

Got a bit of better news.

He's quite busy so only had time to rapidly check the car. The odds that it's the oil pump are low. The oil leak is probably from the powersteering pump or something connected to it (gasket,seal or whatever) and the crappy oil pressure is probably due to the old ass sensors acting up.

Waiting for him to get a more in depth look. Guess it's gonna sit there another 3 weeks lol. :P

Oh well. Much rather not drive my car for 2 months then risk blowing up the engine because of a faulty oil pump.

the oil pressure sender is known to go bad, luckily it is an inexpensive fix, same unit as 300ZX and should be readily available at local auto parts store.  so try that first before jumping to the conclusion that oil pump is bad.

Yes....but the oil pressure switch is a separate thing, yes?.  So for them both to indicate low pressure is not the best news.

Exactly why he wants to investigate. He's quite good with electronics, so I'm guessing he's going to test the voltage and wiring.

Put a oil pressure gauge on it and know for certain

Probably will be part of the solution, but it's the darn oil pressure switch that bothers. Does it switch on because it's based of the pressure reading from the other sensor or does it have a reading of it's own?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
