as with all e-bay jokes... dont go near them

If you want to boost your engine at 10 ponds or over (Strongly Not recommended)  you need:

aftermarket pistons  

Aftermarket Head gasket.  

The maximum recommended Boost on this turbo is 14 Ponds. We are not responsible of servicing this turbo if its been blown by stress of over boosting.

they have got to be joking? this company by stating such has no idea about the product they are selling or the applications it will be used on.

But something from a reputable dealer mate. And save ourself the hassle

E-Bay itmes are no-no's for the msot part

you get what you pay for in the turbo world ... to create a well balanced high performance turbo you need a LOT of :

a: experience

b: tooling

c: research

d: high quality manufacturing

all of these equal a product that is not cheap ....

but you take you chance, maybe you'll get a decent turbo, or maybe you'll be wasting your $600 .. i know i'd like to know that even as tho i paid just under 2k for my turbo, i KNOW it a good turbo and is not going to let me down, or if it does, then i have a warranty with a reputable company ...

just my .02c

Have a look at all the photos in here: http://digi-hardware.com/photos/Turbos/ The workmanship looks pathetic.........

Shonky as! Who uses a phone battery to hold up a turbo? cmon! At the end of the day dude just save your pennies for a good brand name turbo like HKS, GARRETT etc etc and you should have minimal problems.

After everything said above, no one has mentioned that the turbo pictured has t2 flanges and so wont bolt onto a skyline.

It actually states in the literature that an after market manifold is required if the turbo doesn't fit. :) gold

Gotta love the arret stamp.

Sprucy those things look really rough , can vouch nothing Garrett about them . No doubt the PRChina will get better , Garrett needs to look out if they start manufacturing bearing and seal kits for GTBB Turbos . It seems the US turbo shops can rebuild the GTBB's , its only lack of spares that's stopping us ATM . Its high time Jeff got the finger out and started the ball rolling here .......................

Going a bit off topic. Some of the other china replica parts such as the replica intercoolers for example, are they half decent for the price they ask for them? Or are they just a crappy brand that is going to crap itself in a couple of months time?

intercoolers are different because they dont have any moving parts

so there is not much that can really go wrong with them

the hybrid copies that are going around are a good cooler

great value for money

i know a couple mates that have em and couldnt be happier

mate, that turbo looks fully sick. especially considering that Digi-Hardware designed and built it themselves. I mean who hasn't heard of digi-hardware? they are at the forefront of turbo technology I'm sure. the only problem is, they state that you will need 50cc injectors, and I don't know where you can buy ones that small. hmm, maybe take out all your injectors except two. that should be sweet.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
