from my understanding a Gt ss is just like a stock replacement turbo ie base model hks turbo the gtr-s would be interesting as its supposed to have the responce of a 2530 but top end is equal or greater to a 2540 so if you can afford one go for it. I'd say you should go for a ride in 32 or ceffy with a 2530 and see if you like the responce of it I know I was shocked how laggy mine felt with a 2530 after hearing how non laggy these turbos are.

yeah i don't know anyone with a 2530. so you recon a gt RS turbo would be better than a 2530? its gona cost me 3k to get a brand new one installed (the GT RS

we have twin 2530's on our GTR.....yet to see a GT RS powered car come even close to our power levels. Dont be fooled by the marketing ploy of HKS...the 2530 is the best small turbo they have ever produced.....Why do you think MINES run them on their curcuit R34.

I can assure you an Rb20 would make a boatload more power with a GTRS turbine than it would with a 2530.

Huh... you are basing feedback from a twin GTR setup to a single on an RB20....im keen to see what a GT-RS can do on an RB20...but no Rb20 owners have come up with the coin yet so the masses wait patiently

I imagine a GT-SS would be very similar to the 2510, so can make a pretty solid 200rwkws at 1.1-1.2bar

The GT-RS seems to make 250rwkws on RB25s, its yet to be seen if on an RB20 they make the same numbers with the same boost. Im gueesing it can make 240-250rwkws , but may need 1.3bar to do so, and may only make that sort of boost at around 4,500rpm....

The above is just pub talk...so just some guessing looking at what other cars are doing with these turbos

so it may be better to stick with GT SS so i don't ahve to run so much boost as it is a standard engine with front mount exhaust filter fuel pump, i will get injector and tune wafter when i can afford it but engine is gona stay standard for a long while

I'd just buy a Garrett turbo something close to 2530 or 2510 if I was going to go new and sticking with the auto trans should cost you under $2,000 easy no need to spend 3,000 on a gtr-s if you will be happy with 220 ish

I don't know how the SR20 compares to the RB20 as far as power output goes, but I currently have an HKS GT-RS turbo on my SR20 making 250rwkw. Boost is 1.2bar, 260/12mm cams, PowerFC D-Jetro, port and polished head, 1.1mm headgasket for 8.8:1 compression.

i got quote 2700 to suply and fit a 2530 Garret turbo brand new. for the extra money i would rather go for the gtrs due to the workshop is more know that will do it for 3k.

Unless i can find a garret install for more like 2000 no ones seems to want to give me a price and if they do they recon you need lots of custom stuff. like manifold etc which doesn't make sense. (i figure they don't know wat they are on about)

a mate has a HKS GTRS that has been fully rebuild, and done in japan not here. never been on an engine since rebuild, it basically brand new. hes only after $2400

contact horse power in a box he has them (bolton Garrett turbos for rb20) for around $1890 and fit it your self you big girlie girl he he jk if I can fit a 2530 you can fit a bolt on turbo trust $1100 is a lot of money for something you can do yourself.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
