(spell check off)..hehe

Ok, I got my 1991 GTR back from the tuning shop and they said that the #1 turbo is bad (HKSGT2530's) the bearing is going out.

He said that the #2 turbo will suck the air but the #1 turbo blows

it out????? Will a bad bearing cause this?? Also under full accelleration the car runs great but under lets say 1/2 load or 1/4 load (load being pedal position from off to the floor) the car runs really bad, sputtering allot, sounding like a choking chicken..lol!

Please HELP!!!!!!!!!

its not fuel delivery (ie: pump) unless the issue occurs under load.

The plugs can cause this issue if too cold a heat range with too small a plug gap.

Try reset on the ecu?

Does the ecu give any faults in diagnostic mode?

Perhaps the camshaft timing if adjustable gears are fitted, recently happened to a mate of mine.

No codes are registering from the ecu. I just replaced the plugs with NISMO platinum plugs, and no difference.

I think that maybe the exahust cam is positioned wrong???

But, tuning the exahust cam would be very hard due to the #1 turbo being bad right??

My freind is looking for a replacement HKS GT2530 for me and if that falls through then I have to take both off and send them down to HKS tokyo and have them rebuilt!!

Do you guys think that because one of the turbos are bad that could be the reason why it can't be tuned properly right now?

(dumb question but i have to ask)....

If you have a bad turbo you usually know about it when the thing is full throttle as opposed to losing midrange and low end power.

Is the problem only when boost is present or does it do it when cruising at higher rpms and light throttle?

If it does this on cruise then its not a turbo.

Turbo bearing failure produces noise, if all other avenues are blank then just pop the turbo's off and have a look. Don't just assume its broken.

The turbo problem was diagnosed at the Nissan dealership! They said the the rear turbo is in excellent shape but the front

one is "sticky".

They said that is why the car runs like crap at normal speeds and low load. Under full throttle or full boost the car runs strong but

not as strong as it should. When I turn it off you can hear the rear turbo spinning but the front is not .

(kinda like a frozen caliper on a disk brake-it works badly while you drive but when you slow down it wants to skid the tire..)

I have a couple of freinds looking for factory used turbos so that I can use those temporarally.

We called HKS Japan and they said that only a handfull of shops

are cretified with them to rebuild their BB turbos. And its going to

cost me around 70,000Yen for both. I guess some really special tools are needed??

Here is an updated picture ................

OH and the oil catch tank is temp. disconnected till we get it tuned

properly...lol

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
