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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
