Hey Y'all,

I recently had a great experience with an ebayer in California, so I thought I'd share it with the community.

This guy sells new Garrett & HKS BB turbos at very good prices. I bought an HKS GT2535 for $USD 850. By the time it landed (EMS) & I picked it up from the Customs gateway in Clyde, I was out of pocket $AUD 1134.52, and yes it is brand new in the box.

He emailed to say:

Quote:

For T3 flange the smallest I have is GT30R ball bearing units, and of course GT3540R ball beaing.

I also carry Nismo type Group N direct bolt on RB26DETT turbos for the Skyline. See attached image. I have special deal on these items for $750 each. They are full ball bearing, direct bolt on. 350 hp each (700 with two turbos).

So let me know.

I also carry the full line of TiAl wastegates and BOVs.

End Quote

Now I know I'm not supposed to promote other businesses, so if you'd like to know more details, send me a PM & I'll pass on his contact details. His shipping is fast & fully insured, communication really good & 100% feedback with many transactions.

Highly recommended.

Aint ebay cool?!

Ive bought thousands of $ worth of gear off ebay (ie, around 8k on my CBR900RR Fireblade alone; worth well over 12k).

Always had a great experience, and will be looking forward to grabbing a HKS turbo from this USA fella!

Cheers for the info, thats neat work BigDatto.

I think you mean "AAAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" don't you? :D

Thanks for the headsup.

Edit: What's the go with warranty on these?  Is he an official Garrett (US) supplier?

ROFL, that's so true !

Not sure about warranty/officialdom, why not ask him. He does get good pricing from Garrett, & all his stuff is NIB AAAAA++++++++ :)

I don't have an issue buying a factory built new Garrett turbo with no warranty, would be a very different story for electronic goods & the like.

blk180: Thats USD. So x2 = $AUD 1954 at today's rate. Add shipping, somewhere between 100-150 total about AUD$2150. No import duty due to the Free Trade Agreement. How's that stack up against local prices ?

Oh yeah, he's cluey with Aust Customs, so i paid $0 GST. Sweeeet

im still having a few issues here understanding sorry :)

but did the 2535 cost $1130 ausd ?? as per your original post or was that meant to be usd ??

thanks again

$1130 Australian dollars. total. No other hidden costs. I've seen online retailers here in oz flogging the same thing for $3638. Good luck to em.

Man its a small world - I was almost going to try to buy that turbo myself off ebay!! So, he's a good ebayer?

Now, what car is this turbo going on? ie is it a straight fit onto a RB25DET (ive got a series 2 rb25det in my 1997 Stagea)... and Im not cluey what flanges suit what car.

Brendan

It did come with a T25 flange/5 bolt outlet, so no good for RB's as a single, But I just happen to have an HKS T3 .64 turbine housing from a GT2530 so a 5 min job to swap it over. It's going on an RB25DET.

ROFL, that's so true !

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
