that would be great Lee :(

nengun and greenline have both confirmed it for me now though that they are discontinued. although they are still listed on the hks-jpn site, along with the gt-ss and gt-rs.

i guess SS/RS is the future, they are also priced a fair amount higher than the 2530-2540's were at the moment

Yep, got told the same thing. SHIT.

Right after i'd ordered it from greenline too :(

What else is exactly like it ? I wanted a 2535 dammit!

no need to worry, there will still be stocks of these turbos around the world. Just better get in quick before they run out!

the GT-25 series is not entirely gone...the GT2530 and GT2530Kai are still available.

phew! Cause I would be pissed if I couldn't get my hands on a pair of 2530s when the time comes.

Ide say its for the best, they'll surely start research or already have into a more advanced turbo range to superceede the 25xx series

Youd think.

I do know that garret make the 2535 turbos still.I just recently got a quote from horsepowwer in a box for it.

Just order hks comp/exh turbines and fit! wallah! is that possible?:D

The hks 2535 had had some kik arse punch in it by the looks of the dyno graphs that hks have on the rb25det..

I would not loose any sleep . Garrett do two CHRA's very similar to the 2530 , one is from the GT28RS (better 60mm compressor) and one called the GTR upgrade CHRA . In fact garrett do a similar if not identical turbo to the 2530 for direct fitment to the RB26 .

The GTRS is only badge engineering on a 2871R (see ATP Turbo.com) both are streets ahead of the HKS GT2540 which was garbage anyway .

Any one with tap into HKS will find they had an exclusive tie with Garrett to produce certain combinations of compressor and turbines . This would have had a sunset clause and competition issues would have stuffed it for HKS . So you'll find all these things being sold round the world by Garrett (who makes them anyway) for less than HKS thievery .

Cheers A .

The whole Garrett / HKS connection has been done to death, there's a HUGE thread around here somewhere about it, and summation seems to be:

Yes, HKS are Garrett items, but in unique combinations and specs you can't buy from Garret direct.

If you want to discuss it further i suggest revive the aforementioned thread.

The point I'm making is that just because HKS don't sell it any more dosen't mean it CAN'T be bought off Garrett or some supplier of . Give me an example of a HKS turbo that can't be replicated and I'll show you how it can . 2540's and 3240's could be a challenge but better things are available anyway .

OK looking at it now, it is correct but the GT-25 series is not entirely gone...the GT2530 and GT2530Kai are still available. Also you can still buy GT25 0.64 and 0.86 exhaust housing.

Gone

GT2510

GT2535  

GT2540

GT2540R

Can anyone tell me what the difference is bewteen the standard 2530 and the 2530KAI ? not only in terms of dimensions but driveability and top end power ?

Thanks

Jeremy

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
