GT-R Turbo Adapters Interest

Hello there everyone! I'm finally about to finish my TT project and had a few people contact me about my project and the adapters used to make the GTR turbo's work on our platform.

The GTR turbo adapters include:
Driver side Manifold Adapter (Bolts to the head using low profile allen bolts)
Driver side Slim Motor Mount Bracket
Passenger side Manifold Adapter (Bolts to the head using low profile allen bolts)

With GT-R Turbos (with manifolds) going for sale at under a $1000 per set, this would make it possible to Twin Turbo the Z at just around $5000.

I'm just posting this thread to see if there's more interest for these adapters.

There's a few people who contacted me about them but it would be cost prohibitive to machine a single set at a time.

If there's enough interest, I might be also able to source the downpipes needed to bolt back to the OEM exhaust location.

If you are interested, please post on this thread as my inbox is full.

A few pictures to show the GT-R turbos installed on my engine.

Have you checked the steering shaft yet? Curious if the drivers manifold will hit the shaft or not.

I'm interested in the adapter, I've been watching your build and I like the idea of saving a ton of money to go boost.

Usually the steering shaft is on the driver's side... because, you know, the driver usually steers. =)

Hey husam - can you clear some PM space and send me a message? I have an unrelated question for you...

Also, one of the many benefits to Premium Membership (in addition to supporting this great forum) is a big increase in PM capacity. =)

LOLOL got me. I meant drivers side

I'm for sure interested.

This is soooo cool...i cant believe no one else thought of this sooner especially considering the price point

I put the engine back in before finishing up everything just to see clearances and it clears the steering shaft by about a cm, but I would definitely recommend stiffer motor mount just so the engine doesn't rock back and forth.

Yes it does. Here's some pictures of a shop overseas who has successfully done this also. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f231b54389.jpg

This is interesting. I'm still deciding on how I'm going to do my turbo system.

Are the GTR Turbos/Manifolds easy enough to source for a decent price?

I sourced mine for about $550 shipped for the pair. They were on a '12 with 30k miles. Looking on eBay/gtr classifieds, there's was a few around that price.
