Hi,

Im about to buy a R32 GTR, and am not sure about what type of turbo's it has.

The owner believes that they are N1's that were put in by the owner before him.

I checked the turbo housings and they had HKS written on them, i was under the impression that the N1's were made by Garrett. Can anyone shed more light on this?

Also, should an RB26DETT drop in revs when the oil cap is off, this didn't occur on the car i am considering to buy, should i be worried?

Thanks

I think you will find that HKS are esentially the same as Garrett, i.e. they use the same components, they just have their own slightly different sizings, i have HKS turbo's on mine, but they are GT2530s, there should be an ID plate on them in the middle of the turbo (between the compressor and exhaust housing) that should tell you what they are...o and if you hear them spinning when u turn the car off for a little while then they are ball bearing :O

If they've got HKS on them they're obviously not N1's. Probably something like the GT-SS if they've got similar response the N1s.

I can't see why the revs would change with the oil cap on or off

HKS turbos are made by garrett as well, if they ahve HKS on them they are HKS not N1.

HKS GTSS are almost as responsive as stockers, 2530's are much bigger.

If it has a oil catch can and its vented it wont make any difference to the revs when you take the oil cap off.

If it doen't it should.

I think a compression test would be a more accurate and reliable measure.

Will definately do a compression test before I purchase the car.

Cool, thanks for that.

It doesn't have an oil catch can. :

Does the amount of rpm at idle effect the ability of the car to drop revs when the oil caps off? because this car was idling at 1250rpm.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
