Many of the current stock-style offerings on the market have lackluster boost control, or worse, excessive boost creep - some so bad that standard 93 octane pump gas cannot be used, requiring owners to run high octane race fuel at all times. The downside to this method is that the factory manifold is designed for compactness and packaging, as well as only optimized for OEM power and boost levels, meaning if you try to modify them, their limitations become apparent. Most lawn edging tasks are carried out quickly, so it’s only if you’re clearing an overgrown area that you’ll trouble the GT 3.0’s reserves of power.Since 2009, the standard practice for stock-style turbo upgrades on the R35 Nissan GTR has been to utilize the OEM “turbofolds” and machine the housings to accept larger aftermarket turbo CHRAs.

A line-feed button at the top of the handle allows you to manually extend some new line if it breaks, and doing this stops the cutting action. As a lawn edger it excels, the detachable wheels taking away the need to hover the cutting head at the right height above the lawn edge.īeing a single-line design, it’s not ideal for chopping through anything tougher than a grass stem, so while it can tackle thicker weeds this is not its forte, and you may need several passes. The guard keeps the cutting head at a distance from walls or other garden features, but it feels like this could be decreased a tiny bit to bring the cutter in closer.

The trimmer comes with a smaller 2Ah pack, rather than the 4Ah one we saw included with the WG730E mower, but the trimmer has two of them so you can have one charging while you cut with the other. The GT 3.0 uses the same 20V Worx PowerShare batteries as its mowers and other tools, so will fit right in if you’ve already got others from the same manufacturer. There’s also a metal protective guard you’ll snap into place during assembly, which has a similar effect, meaning the wheels are probably best removed if you want to use it as an upright strimmer – though you can leave them in place if you want. These are completely removable, but come in handy for keeping a constant height off the lawn if you’re edging, and can also be run along walls when you’re trimming the grass near them. What’s most unusual about the GT 3.0 is the little set of wheels that attach to the side of the cutting head.

This makes it easier to get under shrubs and into other less accessible places, but the mechanism is rather stiff. There’s an adjustable handle halfway down the shaft, and the angle of the head can also be changed – from parallel to the shaft to fully perpendicular. This catch also enables the trimmer to be telescoped shut by a few inches, making it more compact for storage. Halfway along the trimmer’s shaft is a quick-release catch that allows the head to be rotated through 90° relative to the handle, for lawn edging. Still, it worked, so I can class it as a win.

I got it together in the end, with the aid of a screwdriver to do up the single screw that holds on the clipping shield, but I was left with a nagging feeling we hadn’t done it quite right. Unfortunately, the pictorial instructions are small and unclear. That’s because it comes flattened down for transit, so you’ll need to find out exactly how to assemble it. With the Worx trimmer, you need to look at the instructions. Getting the GT 3.0 out of the box, you’re presented with a situation that’s uncommon with most garden tools, which are usually simple to put together.
