I understand that an R33 turbo highflowed with VG30 rear housing gives alittle bit extra power rating then the standard 450hp. But will an R34 also with a VG30 rear housing produce even more? Or would it bascially be the same as the R33 with the VG30? And roughly how much more power does it give and does it produce any more noticable lag?

LOL, in other words, the only diff between R33/R34 turbos is the rear housings, which are the same for R34/VG30 anyway.

Correct. Most VG turbos were roller and a few of them were ball as some people have claimed. High flowed ones get new bearings anyway. So my guess is no difference after the high flow. Are the oil and water lines the same on the VG as they are on the RB?

VG30 and R34GTT turbine covers are the same

Changing from the R33GTST turbine cover to the VG30 (or R34GTT) turbine cover gave 10 rwkw (265 rwkw to 275 rwkw) on an R33GTST (usual upgrades including Poncams).

Boost build was slightly later, around 300 rpm, noticeable, but not terrible.

:( cheers ;)

VG30 uses the alloy wheel same as Series 1 R33.

The later models (not z31 vg30 that are more similiar to the VL Turbo T3) run the exact same center as the R32 RB20DET turbo, the center being that the center bearing cartridge, turbine and compressor wheels.

So in other words, the later model vg30det turbo's are an RB20DET turbo with slightly larger compressor and turbine housings.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
