Ive got a 2530 on my fairly stock 32 and it has a hks adjustable wastegate on it I cant seem to get it to run less or stay on .8 or .9 bar I have it wound out (its almost loose) as far as possible yet it still runs .9 bar and feels a bit laggy.

Are they made to run .85 bar( or 12psi) standard? I read this once in HPI and I guess it would explain why I cant get it to run less boost.

How far is your done up and what boost are you running?

2530 large turbo? eh? they are pretty small mate. they are amongst the smallest aftermarket turbo you can get (obviously except 2510 and SS). hell GTR's use 2 of them and are only 2.6litre...

2530 on a 2 litre engine is a nice combo. not very laggy at all.

I put my stock wastegate on last night and the car seems yeaps better spools up alot better and doesnt hesitate at .5 bar like it did with the hks adjustable one I might get it tested at a turbo place see if they can fix it. Im happy running stock boost for awhile anyway till I get a remap and inj. Thanks guys

hmm sounds like my issue. ive got an adjustable hks one also.. its got the bolt in the middle of the rod.. which way do i turn it to tighten / loosen it ?? also if i play with the wastegate do i need to get her dynod again if i dont increase the boost at all ??

I put my stock wastegate on last night and the car seems yeaps better spools up alot better and doesnt hesitate at .5 bar like it did with the hks adjustable

ok people... lets just say things that shouldnt of been touched where touched....not important whos at fault.. :miner:

can someone with a hks actuator take a pic or something please so i can see how big the stupid rod thing is meant to be ? ive tried a few times but now the ebc isnt as happy anymore

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
