kassma: yes I am in Perth.
You're right: good turbos are hard to find for a decent price. The RB20 turbo (off an R32 GTS-T Skyline) I originally had on the car I found after about 3 weeks looking; bought privately for just under $300, but then it smoked as soon as it was on the car - it looked in very good condition when I bought it, so that was just my bad luck. I was faced with the following options with this turbo: rebuild with new seals for $500, or rebuild with replacement all steel cartridge for $1200, or find another second hand turbo. Luckily, my mechanic came across the RB25 turbo in good condition from a car that was known to them, so I picked that up for about $500. In other words, I wasted $300 on the first turbo, which I imagine is worthless now since no one wants to buy a blown turbo!
If you have the money I would seriously consider buying new: I was quoted around $1350 for a GT25 turbo from TurboTech in Ascot (which sounded too good to be true, so you could follow them up on that), or just over $1400 for a replacement T28 BB turbo for a S15 Silvia/200SX from Nissan Parts in Melville.
