I was lead to beleive this was a VG30 turbo, I had plans to use the turbine housing to ad to my hi-flow of my stock RB25 turbo.

I didn't know exactly what the VG30 was supposed to look like but if someones selling an apple you'd think it would actually be an apple, right?

I thought the VG30 was supposed to have a larger turbine housing so I sent photos to GCG in Sydney for a discription on what I had just bought.

They came back saying it's an SR20/CA18 Garrett T25 turbo and asked (quote) "Who the hell told you thats a VG30?"

So my question is - Is it a VG30 or a Garrett T25?

If GCG (with their experience in turbochargers) are wrong about this one (as one person thinks) and it is in fact a VG30 then I will personally give the turbo back to the seller (he can keep my money as the turbo is useless to me) and he will have a true honest apology!

Thanks..

hey PRESA .. im going to my engine builders tomorrow to pick my RB25 head .. i'll check the SR20 thats sitting at the workshop...

also have some stock CA18 ones sitting at a mates that i can check too..

would be easier if you could give us the numbers on the plate between the housings would make it easier!!

Ok Sweet.. the turbo is at work so I'll post up the numbers tomorrow.

It's pretty filthy of oil and stuff but when I had to give it a whipe back I noticed the GARRETT logo on it and then I could just barely see A/R .45 or .48. Thats when I thought hang on - I'll ask GCG before I send this up to them asking to hi-flow this for my RB25.

I was told by discopotato awhile back that RB20/RB25/VG30 are all nissan turbos manufactured by Hitachi and not to confuse them with anything to Garrett. The only vague similarity are the T3 flanges - which this turb doesn't have.

** I can post up photos of the flange if necessary.

if i look for a hiflow / aftermarket option im gonna be speaking to racespec see what they can do as far as a garret equiv of the hks gt-rs im pretty sure they can do a gt-rs spec for cheaper or even a gt-rs front wheel and compressor and vg30 rear supplied as well

if i do consider it, which will be never

OK I had a look..

It has a Garrett logo on the top.

Underneath it says -

I quoted the number 14411-40P16

Don't believe me? Here's another

I guess your "boys" at GCG need to reconsider there occupation and maybe do the logical thing and go off the serial numbers :)

Apology?

:O

Edited by nuR.spec
it was never stated as being a VG30DET turbo, it clearly stated that it was off a VG30DETT..

Actually the OP has it as 'VG30' and it is clear that some don't understand that there is quite a difference between a VG30DET turbo and a VG30DETT turbo. It is also clear from the first post that he was after a VG30DET turbo, but has actually bought a VG30DETT turbo.

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
