That is a bummer to hear, mine arrived in 3 days, no prob.

I bought mine off  smtsydney ( I think his name was eric), same guy?

yea same guy , he had great feedback until about a month ago but now its all gone bad with heaps of people complaining

just goto your local exhaust place and ask for a 3" turbo back system. make sure they do front/dump pipe and do 3" all the way. less fuss, less screwing around, less waiting for crap to arrive and youll get it cheaper. i got 1200 for a full 3" system turbo back fully installed, who cares about brand, its bloody metal and its an exhaust im sure it flows fine most exhaust shops hate jap kits cos they are shit quality

including barrell and hi-flow cat.

Read my review (post 18) and take a look at the pics (post 19), yes they come with everything from the turbo.

Yes, $700 delivered.

Yes, they are just as good quality as most systems that you could buy for $1500 or more.

WTF?!?!

ive had ringwood performance exhaust (melb) and glenroy exhaust says jap kits are crap and its crap steel, much better to just get your local exhaust place to do it

of course providing the price is similar. then you dont have to worry about fitting it, parts matching sizing etc as they do it all

those guys are on crack ! they obviously want you to buy one of their exhausts

i have a japanese fujitsubo power getter on my s15 and its by far the best quality exhaust I have ever seen . this think is a work of art ! Ive even had workshops who were working on the car comment on the exhaust .

but these xforces are great value

if I ever get it ......

I would be one of those people!

I didn't buy an exhaust off him though, he didn't respond or send my item until I filed a fraud report against him on ebay.

yea same guy , he had great feedback until about a month ago but now its all gone bad with heaps of people complaining

did you get your item ?

i just got my exhaust after 1 month and 2 days . looks nice , muffler is good quality , very nice looking . other pipes look good . would definetely recomend xforce!

but my cat is purple . wtf ?!

he has claimed the delay was to do with xmas/nye break and he was o/s and everything but still .very poor comunication never responded to emails and i had to call him like 5 times on his mobile

it seems to have all gone to shit this last month but previously his ebay record was tight

what exactly happened give us the story .

I got my item 3 weeks later.

I paid immediately, he didn't respond for 2 weeks until I told him I'd reported

him, then he said there had been a mix up in 'accounts'. What a laugh he is the accounts dept.

I got a stainless 3" turbo back with a 4" tip from Just Jap in syd.... it was piss easy to fit, hardest part was getting off the old one......... i think stainless is the go no rust and will prob last a lot longer then mild steel.... if you have the cash, big up the good stuff.....

    • 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.
