I thought I'd let you all know this guy isn't selling a VG30 as advertised..

They are Garrett T25 which are standard on SR20 and CA18's.

I bought the faulty one off him as I wanted the VG30 turbine for a Hi-flow, I didnt know what a VG30 looked like so I bought it having trusted that the seller was actually selling what he claimed was a VG30.

Now he won't give my money back and has spun some sh!t.

If its from a Z32 then its actually smaller than those found on SR's & even CA's.

This is what you have

Turbo: T25/T2 Hybrid

Car of origin: Z32 300ZX

Engine: VG30DETT

Flange: 4 bolt

Max power: 130kW

Max boost: 1.0 bar

Housing sizes: Exhaust 0.48 AR, compressor 0.49 AR

Comments: The 4 bolt flange will fit most Nissan 4 cylinder turbo manifolds. It’s a very small & reasonably inefficient turbo & should only really be considered for replacing a failed unit.

They also have their roots in the ET Pulsar & in the TT 300ZX’s all the way up to their last release in 2000. They do have a steel wheeled compressor.

This is what you were after

Turbo: VG series

Car of origin: Gloria, Z31 300ZX

Engine: VG30DET

Flange: 4 bolt T3 style

Max power: Approx 195kW

Max boost: 1.2 bar

Housing sizes: AR not identified

Comments: These have a slightly larger exhaust housing than the turbos on the RB25’s, but have a marginally smaller compressor with different trim. These turbos are a ball bearing core with a steel compressor wheel. No ceramics here! They should be cheaper than the RB turbos & are suitable for RB20’s, SR’s & CA’s

Point of interest also, the VG series turbo never had T25 stamped into it & the same goes with AR ratios

This info & more can be found @ www.thecarscene.com

Sorry to hear about this, its not good at all. I hope things can be worked out.

Are you sure your tuner wasn't high on something?

Read for yourself mate..before you jump to conclusions, i suggest you read..wait, before you do that, get a decent tuner!

Btw, i clearly stated that it was off a DETT

In Japan, some goose left a rag in the left hand turbo so it gave up..The right hand turbo is in perfect working order though..

yea VG30DETT ...... TT m8 .. not T

being they are the smaller version.... just look at the compressor and exhaust housing sizes.. they are TINY as.

VG30DET .. which i have to my left right now has OP6 on the exhaust housing .. casted onto it. and the Comp housing as Nissan and 45V2

where as yours has garret and the exhaust housing .. going by the pics on NS.com .... is FAR smaller again than the SR/CA turbos

youve ripped this poor bloke off.... make things right man.

You've proven that it is some type of VG30 and you would have known when I told you I had plans for the hi-flow and large VG30 turbine housing for my RB25 that this wouldn't be for me.

But I guess you didn't care and you were happy to take the money and not give it back when I've realised it's no good to me.

Anyway Karma's a bitch mate! When you do wrong to one person it'll come back to you some day.

Good luck with your sale.

Thanks you just explained it all.

Maybe sellers should post up the correct details next time they sell stuff!

No problem. I work for Nissan Australia & i am 'the tech man' @ thecarscene.com so let me if you need any more info.

It does pay to be very specific when buying or selling stuff as mis representation can bring on public arguements like this. Which no one wants or needs.

Sorry to hijack,

James

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
