I am hoping someone may be able to tell me what these turbo's are. They are for sale on Import Monster but the descriptions are, shall we say lacking! I am looking to upgrade to something like N1's off an R34 GTR. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j127399742&thumb=http://f3.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f03batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/5/7/1/5/tmgarage2005-thumb-1308742271172941.jpg&title=BCNR33%20GT%20R http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j142002012&thumb=http://f0.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f30batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/0/7/3/7/powergroup_osaka-thumb-1320972507711390.jpg&title=BCNR33%20GT%20R%20RB26DETT%20BNR32%20BNR34 http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l111675875&thumb=http://f2.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f46batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/4/6/1/9/powergroup1220-thumb-1320758063331094.jpg&title=GARRETT%20BNR32%20BCNR33%20GT%20R%202 http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j127399742&thumb=http://f3.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f03batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/5/7/1/5/tmgarage2005-thumb-1308742271172941.jpg&title=BCNR33%20GT%20R

Silly question I know, but was offered a 3" turbo's back system off a Soarer. Was wondering a) if it was possible to fit to an R33 GT-R and b) how much work will it take an exhaust shop to modify to fit? Cheers. Eric

Nice to meet you.

I'll be coming along for a look.

Thanks Sir. Yeah have seen you quite a few times now on the way into work. Cheers.

Hi sweefu, Yes stock looking 32. I think I may have seen you this morning heading up the Tuggeranong Parkway. You gave a wave out the window if it was you.

Thanks guys. Hope to meet some of you at future events. I am going to go check out JDM Fest on Saturday. I am biased to the R33 too. LOL

Keep seeing a White GTsT around Kambah Shops. I drive a Silver R33 GT-R. Also see a grey R32 GT-R around Kambah shops a bit. Oh, I am fairly new to the ACT. Been hear for about 4 months having moved from Perth for work. Cheers, Eric

I had a search around the forums and cannot find anything that matches the problem/s I am having. I have a stock R33 GT-R. The car has started surging then hesitating while driving at constant speed. It is like a jerking motion. accelerates then cuts out. One this happens the 4WD light comes on and stays on. This will go on for a little while then it drives normally, but the 4WD light stays on until I turn the car off. I have an alarm installed which also acts as the turbo timer. If I turn the car off and let the turbo timer shut down the car the 4WD light goes away. However if I shut it straight down and then re start the 4WD light stays on. This started the other day. This is the things I am thinking it may be: I let the fuel get pretty low the other day which is when it started happening. Thought maybe the fuel pump may have picked up some junk out of the bottom of the tank? AFM needs cleaning? The car has pod filters which are like metal mesh (on it when I bought it) and thought maybe something is being sucked into the intake? I live in Canberra and there is a heap of pollen in the air. Something to do with the alarm/turbo timer due to the light going away once I let it shut the car down? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Well I have to say that I never had a scratch on my XT Forester until I moved here to WA. Now 3 of the 4 doors either have a scatch or small ding from someone opening doors on them in car parks. So far the R33 GTR has not got any. Pisses me off as I am so careful when I open my doors that I don't hit the cars parked next to me.

Sorry, that $1470 was for everything, not just the idler bearing. so it included: Timing belt, idler bearing, tensioner, water pump. Also included radiator flush, service (oils, oil filter) etc., removal of boost restrictor and adjustment of timing to suit BP Ultimate. Included a couple Dyno runs as well. Pretty good I think. Very happy with the result. Next will be upgraded turbos and exhaust system.

All up it was $1470.

Wow, picked the car up today and it feels great. Got it done at Autoworx, good job, will definately be going back there. Can feel the difference going from 230hp tp 288hp.

Oh and they replcsed the old water pump too.

Well it turns out the car never had it's 100,000K service. Workshop replaced the idler bearing (which was the culprit for the noise and mechanic said was missing half the ball bearing and he was surpised it was still spinning, also replcaed the tensioner, timing belt. Radiator was also flushed and pressure tested, turned out to be 70% blocked. While in the shop also had the boost restrictor removed and timing adjusted to suit BP Ultimate. Also had a service, all oils etc. First Dyno result they did saw it making 230hp at all four wheels, end result was 288hp at all four wheels. The car is stock except the pod filters and the removal of the boost restrictor. They said it would have made 300hp at all fours but the stock fuel pump started to struggle.

Just wondering if it is straight forward taking the cam gear cover off? Is there any tricky things I need to be aware of? Cheers.

Booked the car in for next week at one of the SAUWA sponsors. They are only a couple of Km's down the road from me so hopefully I make it!

Yeah, I am very wary!! I have not looked at taking the cover off and what is involved (i.e. do I need to take the radiator fan out etc.), not sure how hard or what tools are required. I am pretty sure it is something to do with one of the belts. Like I said, I started last night because I wanted to see if it still made the squeal and it did but only for a second. Before it would squeal for a minute or so until it warmed up. If the timing belt slipped, even a notch it would run the same correct? it still runs like it always has, just this noise!!

Not sure if any of the other parts were replaced when the timing belt was. Would any of these lead to this sucking noise? When I say sucking, that is what it sounds like, not sure if it is actually something sucking in air.

Started the car for the first time since the noise started, a couple things I noted. The squeal that used to be there is still there but for a lot less longer. Also, the noise didnt start immediately, it took about a minute or 2 of the engine idleing for it to start.

Some more info that may help. One of the belts was making a squeale on startup when cold, but would go away within 1 minute. The morning the noise started the car backfired once but not after that. Also the car still runs fine, both in gear and at idle, no hesitation no other starnge noises. Timing belt was done not that long ago, maybe 8 months ago I believe. Have searched this forum as well as other and Google and can not find anything similar.

Just had a bit more of a look around. I think it is coming from under the cover where the cam gears are. You can feel it kind of knock when you put your hand on it when it makes the noise. Any ideas?

Today my R33 GTR started making a weird sucking noise. It has pod filters, but the sucking is not coming from them. The noise happens both while stationary (idleling) and also when driving. It sounds like it is coming from the front of the engine bay but cant pin point it. It dosnt get louder or quieter depending on speed/RPM's etc. is always sounds the same. It sounds like a valve opening/closing and sucking air. I have not done any work on the car since buying it so it has started out of the blue. Any thoughts?

All good. Heard the pump this afternoon. Will check fuses etc.

Never noticed. Will have a listen this afternoon. Cheers.
