Hello Oom Mac

Ek het 2 x ZD30 Turbo's - een wat kompleet ge - refurbish is met nuwe shaft wat ge- balance is die hele tootie. Dan het ek ook JG se ZD30 Turbo wat ek by hom gekoop het toe my turbo shaft gebreek het en ek besluit het om myne te laat refurbish - maar ek het nooit sover gekom om die refurbished turbo terug te sit voor my engin ook n gat in die piston gebrand het nie. Dit was met JG se turbo nog op my kar maar die turbo self het niks oorgekom met die gat brand nie - hy het nie eers vreeslik olie in gekry nie.

As oom belangstel in either een kan oom my pm of kontak - met die 4.2 in my kar het ek ook geen nut vir hulle nie.

PS: Ek weet nie hoekom of wie ook al se oom moet dit nie laat refurbish nie - dis twak want Turbo Repair Master gee n 6 maande waarborg op n refurbished turbo en as die shaft met sy vinne vervang en gebalanseer is dan is daai turbo weer net so goed soos nuut - dis amper die enigste werkende deel binne in die ding.

Maar besluit maar self - Nissan het my destyds R18000-00 ge-quote vir n nuwe turbo - dis hoekom ek besluit het om myne maar te laat refurbish. Dis of refurbish of nuut....daar is nie ander keuses nie.

Groete

Oom Mac, ek is jammer maar daardie advies dat 'n ZD30 turbo nie 'n nuwe "kit" moet kry nie KANNIE reg wees nie. Dit maak glad nie vir my sin nie. Dis Garret turbos waarvan almal se binnegoed net 'n sekere leeftyd het (net soos 'n alternator). Ek weet van baie van hulle wat suksesvol re-kit word en weer hul 200000km doen. Ek praat nie van 'n turbo wat geblaas het nie. Ek praat van voorkomende onderhoud. Die koste om 'n turo te recon is in elk geval 'n fraksie van die prys van 'n nuwe.

Nietemin, dit sal lekker wees om te weet Lasarus se turbo gee al nuwe lewe aan 'n 3e Patrol.

Get hold of Turbo Exchange and let them give you advice. They do the turbo rebuilds for most of the major brands and are (in my experience here in Cape Town) total professionals. They will let you know if your turbo can or can't be rebuilt. The "whining" noise is most likely the journal bearing giving notice...that's a VERY easily fixable and pretty cheap repair.

Srxy,

I was also reffered to Turbo Exchange (via this forum) when my original turbo packed up and needed to be refurbished. The guy (unfortunately I can't remembe his name) I dealt with there said my turbo is not "fixable" or "repairable" and wanted to sell me a new one (was just over R12000 compared to Nissan's R18000) - whilst he wanted me to leave my broken turbo there because he will throw it away for me!!!

Sorry to say but that made me super suspicious - and I left with my turbo which was fixed and serviced by Turbo Repair Master. I don't think Motorite's warranty assessor would have authorised the claim if the turbo was not "repairable".

Maybe he saw I was not a very mechanical knowledgable person and took a chance......but he made me very supicious. I might not be very mechanical wise but being in the security industry I know when I smell a rat!!!

I spoke to the owner of the place when I went there. The dude at the front desk wasn't too "wys" and didn't think he could get me a new turbine wheel, so I asked to chat to the main dude in the back and he was able to get the right part numbers etc. I got a completely different experience than you did....bizzare. Maybe you can post the contact details for Turbo Repair Master so people can get quotes from them and Turbo Exchange in the future? Always good to have options...

I would have also been suspicious is someone tried to do that to me!
