Hi all ... I have an Apex AX53B70 Turbo kit for sale ... it has been on my car for ~5000kms. No play, turbo is like brand new still and has always had the water lines connected and also had only good oil in the engine. Turbo is a great respone turbo and is rated for 380ps.

You get:

-AX53B70 380hp Turbo

-Stainless Exhaust Manifold - I think it is an Apex manifold (Heat Wrapped - no cracks)

-Stainless Dump Pipe

-All Braided Lines (Oil & Water)

-Silicon Joint (from Turbo to top piece)

-Cool Apex piece of piping from turbo to your standard cooler piping.

The kit is a direct BOLT UP to your RB25.

I am asking $3500 for the kit ... I have photos now - please see below

My power rating is unknown due to a sh**ty tune and not completing the car to get it actually Dyno run ... the turbo is still on my car and is boosting fine ... if anyone is interested however, and payment is made ... the turbo will come off in 1 night and sent the next day ...

Please PM me for more details if you are interested - no time wasters. Thanks guys ...

What model? Without looking it up there is the P21, P22 etc etc. It refers to the exhaust housing size, from memory its the A/R but in mm where Garrett state the A/R in inches. (Eg Garrett 0.87 is in Apexi IHI terms a P22)

Interested if the exhaust housing isnt on the large side...info to [email protected] when you can:)

Um, that's actually a good question ... There is no marking on the actual Turbo itself ... I'll have another look and get back to you ...

Pics sent to both requests ...

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
