So, we have all had a talk about this but here goes again. I have in front of me two turbine housings. As the title says an R33 series 1, and an R34 neo. The R33 has been taken from Qikstagea's (Rob) - a 96' S1. And the R34 is mine - 2000 S2 Neo.

Will post pics later.

Hopefully one day I will CC the pair!

Anyway here are the numbers off them:

2IU is the R33, written in two places. Beside the flange that bolts the turbine to the exhaust manifold (on the inside), and the other is on the outer side facing where the dump pipe bolts on.

O96 is the R34. all stamped in the same place.

They are markedly different to look at! the R34 is about 5mm WIDER across its back and most of the scroll follows this larger profile. THIS MAKES IT SOMEWHAT LARGER THAN THE R33! I have not CC'ed the housings yet, but any backyard rocket scientist could tell you they will perform differently!

The R33 SHOULD encourage boost earlier in the rev range, where the R34 SHOULD build slightly larger power figures...

So, anybody done a back to back test of this?? I have pics on the camera and will post later..

Any thoughts?

the stagea is bit of a heavy old girl. Nissan knew this and built the engine slightly different to the skyline. Things like smaller intake plenum runners to enduce torque at lower engine revs & different tuneing and so on.

So with that in mind, the smaller turbine would really be helpful.I would think it should help try and maximise the torque curve. well that is if it is a family taxi!!

If it isn't a baby hauler, the larger turbine would help if you are building a maximium effert engine were every factory component is pushed to its end. like injectors, plenums, turbo and the like. (the dear stuff)

I would like to note that the numbers on the series 1 Skyline turbine arethe same as the stageaseries 1. Go figure! I would like to point out that the Neo engine gained hp over its older brother. Bigger HP was supported by a slightly larger intercooler and the turbine seems to to be the same. I wonder wot other small things they changed?? thats a whole new thread i think..

Anybody noticed that when nissan changed from series 1 skyline to the series 2, the compressor changed from alloy to plastic compiste. they have the same OD, but the alloy compressor is higher than that of the plastic unit. The Neo also has the plastic compressor. From wot i can see, the compressor housings have not changed from the series 1 skyline to the Neo in the Skyline or stagea.. hmm. Anyone got somethin different?

15kw. hmm. did the torque curve move around with the different housing? i'm guessing the smaller turbine run out of puff in the top end.. but if the torque curve was up early, then it would not be a bad thing. after all, how often do you drive your car at peak revs?

According to my experience, the s1 R33 Skyline turbo and s1 Stagea turbos are different, as are the numbers on the compressor housing. Also, in the shots I took, the wastegate looks bigger on the Stagea turbo, but this may not be the case, and I didn't think to measure it at the time either. The s1 R33 turbo was marked with 45V3, but my blown Stagea one was marked 45V4. The numbers on the turbine side were the same as what you mentioned (2IU).

(The s1 R33 turbo is on the left in both shots...)

Going by the information we've all shared here in the forum, the s1 Stagea uses an s2 R33 Skyline engine, which makes sense since the Stagea was released during the time the s2 R33 was being built. It also means it also gets the s2 R33's plastic compressor wheel. I blew a turbo just over a year ago, and replaced it with a second-hand standard s1 R33 turbo with steel compressor wheel. The compressor was in millions of bits, it completely sheared the shaft in two, and the turbine wheel was chipped on three blades. (Budget and time didn't give me much choice back then, unfortunately, so I took what was available and it's been fine so far...)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
