Hey guys, i just spat my turbo on the 33 and in a mad panic picked up a rebuilt one, the original had 45V3 on the compressor housing and the new one had 45V1, and had the compressor fins in pairs. Does anyone know if there are any other differences between the 2, coz the new one goes heaps harder

Why did they change to the lighter nylon type wheel on the S2 and R34 turbo's then?

Not having a dig at all, just curious?

Two factors have a major impact on the rate of acceleration of an impeller:

radius

mass

Increase either of them, and the ability to build boost quickly is diminished.

Note that Blade numbers, shape, inducer size also impact on compressor performance.

As far as im aware the "v1" "v2" "v3" means absolutely nothing except the casting number. It has no difference between the numbers. My series 2 had a 45v1 on it and i can guarantee it came like that from factory. I now have a highflowed rb25 turbo and it came with 45v3 on the housing. Means nothing.

Are you sure you're not mistaking it for the black nylon series 2 wheel as it does sorta look like a metal wheel... Unless your turbo has been highflowed otherwise there would be no reason to change that wheel. It's the turbine side that spits anyway there would be no reason for the front to let go before the back.

And the series 2's still have a single blade from memory...

For all intents and purposes R33 S1 and R33 S2 turbos are virtually the same.

While the turbo makeup is actually different there is minimally noticeable difference in performance between them

R34 has a slightly larger rear on it (better for hi-flowing) and does make on average 10rwkw more @ 12psi than R33 items due to this

ah yeah i don't know anything about gtr turbo's but i would daresay they dont have the 45v"x" and would have something completely different as they're smaller turbo's and there's two of them. Sounds to me like he's talking about a gtst. Please advise.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
