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.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
