Item: R33 Rb25 Turbo

Location: Sydney

Conditon: 2nd Hand - excellent condition. Minimal shaft play

Price: $340 without actuator

Reason for sale: Turbo upgrade, turbo has only just been taken off

Pickup Only unless someone interstate is really desperate.

Other Info: I most likely will need the actuator, hence will be selling minus the actuator. If I can find an Rb20 actuator in the meantime then I will sell it with the actuator. This turbo has the metal compressor wheel not the nylon one which is a bonus.

Great condition, minimal shaft Play. Run at stock boost still last year where it was raised to 9.5psi and made 172rwkw on a conservative dyno. Hasn't seen a track day and I don't drive it hard.

Should be ready for sale by next weekend (just want to check the new turbo works etc before I sell this)

Hi Highcrawler. Nylon is a type of plastic, and it would burn if the exhaust wheel was made of nylon.

Ben's turbo there has a ceramic exhaust wheel, and a steel front wheel - that's what he's saying isn't nylon

well sorry to correct you mate, but all R34 turbos have a nylon exhaust wheel, as do late model R33s, which this is obviously off. Do your homework before correcting people.

100% correct SS Eater - the nylon exhaust wheels are fine for up to 12psi, but any sort of track work over about 10psi will see them shoot down the cat converter.

Awesome for response though, as like you said they have less inertia to spin, which makes for nice early spool up and boost!

Nope, I have an aftermarket boost gauge in my R34, and with the stock turbo it showed 7/8psi then up to 10psi (when the 2nd solenoid kicked in at around 5,000rpm).

But once you add exhaust, dump pipe, intake etc, mine went to 10psi/12psi. So yes, you shouldn't be doing hard track days at all if you have the stock turbo, no manual boost control and an exhaust.

not to detract from this sellers thread, theres no way the exhaust wheel is nylon, theyre all ceramic from factory, only thing that changed is the compressor wheel, be it nylon or steel.

lol .... Google is your friend - there is tons of info about it on the net - plus I have one right here and it is definitely nylon .... it is tuff stuff - but only to 12psi.

All you keyboard warriors need to talk about what you actually know - not what you think you know :)

You're spot on the money Dead32, RB25DET standard turbo's all have Ceramic exhaust wheels, pre 1995 they had a steel compressor wheel mated to it. But to make it more responsive, from 1995 onward they put a nylon compressor wheel onto the ceramic exhaust wheel.

Nightcrawler, might need to get back on google and do some research into the melting properties of nylon.

ah ok, but the R34 stock turbo I have right here (on my lap) goes a metallic 'ting ting' when I tap the compressor wheel with a spanner, and gives a dull plastic-style 'thud thud' when I tap the exhaust wheel with a spanner. No way it is ceramic - it would make a completely different noise.

And how can by compressor wheel be steel - I was told ALL R34s had nylon wheels. Now I am very confused.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
