I have a T3 from a Z31 (Nissan 300zx mid 80's). It is a bit too big for my needs and would rather go with something smaller (something in the .48 or so range). The exhuast side is .63. The turbo was checked for both side to side and up and down shaft play. NONE!!! The fins look to be in great shape too. I checked those for bends, cuts,breaks, grazes, etc. The person I bought it from said it was bolted up and didnt smoke or leak any oil. I would like to get 125 shipped or a trade for something a bit smaller in the same mechanical shape as mine. I will upload some pics after work. I have bought many things on here but never sold anything. However I can give you as much information as possible about me and references from nissan boards if necessary. I also have one vouch on this board who can vouch for my good rep as a seller. Oh yeah forgot to add it before....this is oil cooled and internally gated

Damn no one wants a bigger turbo.........

 

Here is some info on the turbo that you have. I know that the turbine housing say .63 but the exhaust shaft blade is the same as the ones you would find in the Volvo and SAAB T3 turbos. The shaft dims are, Inducer is 60mm and Exducer is 58mm.

You cannot use the turbine housing for the bolt pattern is different from normal Garret 5-bolt flanges. I do not know where you would get that, maybe a Nissan guy would know.

Just change the exhaust housing with a .48 and you should be fine. Just becareful taking the turbine bolts cause them things always get stuck. I suggest a blow torch and a hammer.
