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

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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
