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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
