hey im very keen on ur turbo mine blew on my rb20 on thursday i got a replacemtn for it but turns out the coolant inlet and return fittings on my car are too small for the new turbo are u able to measure the diameter of the banjo bolts that go into the coolant galories on the turbo i can see the bolts on the pic but cant see size. please get back to me need my car on the raod by monday

Bakker - There's a tutorial on changing the rb20 turbo over to the RB25 .

I'm sure it says everything is a straight swap out, ie use the same lines, except the elbow

Don't need the turbo but I'll ask for everyone else sake cause they'll prolly ask...

1) Do you have elbow?

2) Location?

Good luck with the sale :sick:

well ill the secound the fact that they r not a straight bolt on the oil feed is the same size

the coolant banjo bolts from an rb20 slide straight ing an rb25 turbo without even touching the thread

im also chasing the banjo bolts and water line for an rb25 turbo

this guy knows what im on about. im wondering if the turbo that iv got isnt an rb25 turbo and not an rb20 turbo. hmmmm. im gonna try putting a helicoil in and bring the port down 2 mm. the port is 18mm and the banjo bolts i have are 16 mm, it would be good if the banjo fittings were oversized so i could put and 18mm banjo bolt in.

check out the tutorial - osme of the older r ugly poos used 22 m banjos, in that case, you'll hae to source some either later ugly poo lines, or rb25 lines. the later ones are 24 mm

later ugly poos have the right size banjos. I've even seen 89 modesl with the right size bolts - I think only the very early 89 models had the 22 mm

Looking at the turbo, how do you tell from pictures whether it's a series 1 or 2.

I know series 2 had a nylon compressor wheel, ie do we look for a dull compressor wheel whereas the series 1 are shiney? Or did they change the design of the compressor blades making it easier to distinguish?

for 1 the wheel will make a plastic noise when u hit it u can see the difference and feel the difference

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
