ok so im still saving up for a 33 turbo upgrade for my 32 and was planning on buying it off some one in this forum. But my friend has the dough and is about to go with a series two, just needed some verification. Its advertised as:

TURBO CHARGER DUAL BALL BEARING, You are looking at a turbocharger that was taken off a 1997 Nissan Series 2 R33 Skyline GTS-T RB25DET TYPE-M.

IT USES CERAMIC EXHAUST WHEEL, WHICH IS THE LIGHTEST MATERIAL AVAILABLE, EVEN LIGHTER THAN TITANIUM WHEEL!

AND HAS THE NYLON PLASTIC COMPRESSOR WHEEL FOR SMOOTH FAST BOOST.

It is water and oil cooled, has absolutly no shaft play, only 45000kms old, T3 Exhaust

Ok so i thought it sounded fair sweet but i dont know much about them so i thought id post some pics and people can verify the model/wheels and all that stuff

ohh k, i thought $500 was decent? Couple of people on the forums offering me series 1 for 500, my mate saw this one before me or i'd probably have pinched it. $500 is to much for a series 1? And therefore a series to would be worth? I thought 400-500 was average price for both series. Any help is appreciated

its definately an rb25 turbo

but there's no way to tell if that is series 1 or 2 other than the nylon compressor - and you can't tell from that pic. mine has a darck black plastic compressor wheel, but i couldn't tell until i got the turbo and looked with a flash light!

$500 for series 2 is not all that bad.. 400 would be a good price

ohh ok thanks, ill advise him against it. Didnt know it was only 300-400 for a series 2. Makes it alot easier for ME to afford one, assuming installation is 250 and tuning/remap is 250. The only turboes i can seem to find are the series one though, for about $400.. If thats a decent price, for one in good nick, and there only slightly slower spooling than the series 2 ill go with that

This looks like a Spec2 R33 turbo to me, you can't see the "material" of the comp wheel reliably enough to make a call due to angle and light - but the spec 1s have a "twin blade" type setup which looks a bit like the RB20 turbos, the Spec2s have "single" nylon blades.

Twin Blades:

yes.. exhaust wheel is bigger on R34 neo turbo

Are you totally sure of that??? I would have expected it to have been bigger news (and every man and his dog going for them) as all of their turbos from the S13 up until now have had the same crappy exhaust wheel...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
