the for sale section on the forums mate is a great place to start looking.

its highly active so checking each day for 2 weeks usually does pretty well

and yeah, thats only the core price, no piping unless your lucky.

There are lots of other coolers in the FS section also that might grab your eye

All turbos will have a tiny bit of up/down shaft play, but they shouldn't have any forwards/backwards movement (viewed from front). Well, technically they do on all axes, but as soon as you can feel the forwards/backwards movement with your hands, it's reached a point where it's starting to wear out and will probably need replacing or rebuilding soon.

all the plain bearing turbo's i have used have all had fair movement in them.

the rb20, rb25 and vg30 ball bearing turbo's i have used have what i would call next to no movement in them at all, and they have all run flawlessly.

from saying the above if i got any of the above turbos and they had clear movement in them i would be weary of condition.

the ball bearing turbo's spin so smoothly and easy, like silk, whilst the plain bearing turbo's are not as smooth, and not as easy to spin, when compared to their ball bearing counterparts.

but all the above is only from my personal observations. :D

    • 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.
