All the R32 onwards turbos are ball bearing. I'm fairly sure the NICS engines have bush bearing and some of the ceffys.

R34 has bigger wheels and bigger turbine housing. Compressor of R34 turbo is the same as R33 S2. Fairly sure turbine is the same aswell.

hymm i figured all R3X turbos are Ball Bearing. AFAIK.

But i can be wrong. The R34 turbo is much better, better trim wheels and so forth.

YOU gona sell the housing to me? LOL.

yeah mate, im still trying to find the exh housing as the 34 turbs was at a mates house and he got bored :P

yah the only real diff between 33 (s2) and 34 turbo is one has a plastic comp wheel the other a steel

so its normal to be ball bearing(r32 turb), thanks for that :)

Nope, R33 S1 has alloy compressor wheel, R33 S2 has nylon and it is the same as the R34 compressor. Blades are oriented the same as the R34 one, same wheel. R33 S1 has blade oriented differently

nope, 33 s1 has alloy yep, 33 s2 has nylon yep , 34 definately either alloy or steel. i put a s2 turbo on my old 32 (hence why i have a 32 turbo lying around), i bought a 34 turbo before i bought the 33 turbo to put on the 32 but was shafted as the 34 turbo was missing the exh wheel :dry: and a friend of mine pulled their s1 turbo off their 33 to get it high flowed or whatever so we had all three together at the one time. all three comp wheels are different :O

Hmm, I posted this topic in forced induction a while ago and the conclusion was that R34 had the same compressor as R33 S2. I also had Cubes send me some photos of an R34 turbo and it looked identical to my R33 S2 and everyone is very certain that R34 compressor is nylon like R33 S2. Happy to be corrected if it's not true, but we'll have to pass the message onto a lot of other people too

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
