no mate these were top $$ genuine r32 n1 turbs. Steel wheel front and rear and 270o bush bearings.

Great for their day but only a lunatic would buy a pair of turbos like that for 6k or whatever nissan wants these days.

Unless the regs require it.

Tubro shop was:

Precision Turbo Chargers - John

51/97 Newton Rd, Wetherill Park.

02 9756 5757

BTW no idea where the foreign object ended up, we never found it.

Hell yeah, and I've seen what some of the bandits want to rebuild turbos with steel wheels. My GTR turbs were about $2700 going by the receipt, but I'd be chasing some Garrett cheaters for that money, GTSS equivalents are about 1200-1300 each and look stock.

Where is that from??

Could i bolt these onto an otherwise stock engine/support system for the time being? Same question for the GTSS kit. Thats my biggest problem really. I dont have the budget to go out and modify everything at this stage. Just want reliability..

Yeah, I must be getting old.. my new baby's totally standard besides a nismo rear muffler - and although I plan on doing the exhaust eventually I don't want it any louder :D

Certainly moves alright though.. it had 33,600km on it when I bought it so it's only just been run in! :D

Anyone?

hahah don't ask me! I didn't even realise washers were bad for turbos!

Seriously though, larger turbos and everything else standard will work.....but not optimal, the injectors, afm and tune will all need doing to make the most of the turbos

Hmm well at this stage i dont even have a sports exhaust haha! The car was stock when imported. Never modified so im starting from scratch. So it'll be a decent improvement even with no support system mods?...Over standard anyway? My biggest query was that will it be safe to drive and run, ie:detonation...

I put a screwdriver on the head next to my ear, and looked like a person with a screwdriver in my ear.

A fashionable alternative to a screwdriver in the ear, is a set of ear-muffs with a straightened coat hanger held to the outer of one of the ear cups.

P.S,

I'm sick of the gnomes getting a bad rap, so it's good to hear that no gnomes were involved with the destruction of this turbo.

It works better if the coat hanger is bent into the shape of australia.

Well kind of.

I made the people who built it:

Pull the motor out of the car

Pull the motor apart

Remove the gnomes while disassembling the bottom end

Take all the bits to the various machine shops

Pay for the machining and turbo repair

Pay for the new bearings, rings, oil pump, oil cooler, gaskets

And I am expecting them to

Reassemble motor

Seal all orifices to keep gnomes and similar out next time

Put it back in car

All the bits should be back from the machine shop in the next week, once we finally got started (12 months lol) it is moving pretty quickly.

Need to get it all back and running reliably since we now have a date with a bunch of tasmanian roads on 17-22 April next year.

Watch it on the Tassie roads, the gnomes tend too mark their territory down there on corners and stuff. Also next time just get a bigger tubbo so bolts, washers, gnomes and stuff can pass through the bigger fan blades and wont get broken.

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
