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 !

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
