I was looking into buying a used GReddy TT kit. A local wants his kit sold and i am concidering into buying it. Now my question is if it would be a good idea to buy the used kit? The thing i am concerned about is if i cannot gather every washer/bolt does GReddy sell these parts seperately?

Tell me what you guys think.

 

i dont think so...
i'd never buy such expensive items used...
i'd buy used exhausts or intakes even wheels used but not a turbo kit...

 

depends on how much you can pick it up for. if it is a good enough price i would do it. especially if the guy is local, then if the kit ends up not having everything you know where he lives, lol.i wouldn't be to concerned about every nut and bolt, as $3-$4 in extra bolts is worth saving a few thousand. just make sure the turbos are in good condition.

 

yea too many parts you gotta worry about

 

Actually Zexy - The Active Parts are only concern

My buddy (Wld350Z) found a 350Z owner in No Cal, with a Greedy TT kit complete
for a reasonable cost. On Inspection the Turbo's needed re-building. Done.
At a reasonable price. The other part are numerous - but complete. Tubes and clamps, intercooler, Electronics are original..

The customer is now into Lexus and getting his Next Thing going on..

Give Wld350Z a PM if you need a Greedy TT kit with Newly rebuilt Turbo's

Cheers Amy -

 

Any more thoughts/ help?

 

well i got my tt used and sold my ati to another forum member. think the only thing that was missing was a little one way valve for the power brakes vacuum line. i got mine for such a good price, no way i could go wrong.

 

just inspect first hand

 

Sixto, you may have already thought of this but consider getting Tom @ NLP to take a look at the kit.

Good luck bro!

I would ask for a REALLY good deal, becuase if the turbos were used aggressively, and proper oil and cool-down techniques not adheared to, you will be rebuilding your turbos for about $400 each.

If the majority of the parts are there, finding the small parts should be easy enough. But if some intercooler piping, manifold, downpipe..etc..etc..are missing...Greddy will not sell you those type of replacement parts...ever...they have a really strict policy against this.

I would download the Greddy instruction manual, and make sure all the key components are included in your kit. But honestly, unless this kit is about $2000 or so, I would just buy a new one. Too much risk, IMHO.
