Did I Get The Correct Wastegate Actuator?

Hey guys,

Ive got a GCG high flow turbo on my R32 with RB20DET and my stock actuator has given up and the wastegate just flaps around all over the place so I went to GCG today to buy a new actuator, he sold me a HKS adjustable actuator for a R33 but assured me 100% that it will still fit my turbo,

I was paranoid because my stock actuator arm has a kink in it to clear the compressor part of the turbo but this HKS one does not, the guy at GCG told me that the bracket on the HKS item is slightly different and will bolt up with no worries,

Can anyone tell me from the pics below if I will have any troubles bolting the HKS one up or will it just go straight on with no clearance issues?

Stock one on the car now:

Stock one again

Any help greatly appreciated :D

davo, it'll fit mate. You see how the stock actuator has the kink in it but the bracket is straight?

the hks actuator has a kink in it. So it pushes that big knob out sideways.

I know that it fits on r33s easily. Should also fit on the r ugly poo. I know there's less space to the strut tower, but it should fit.

Haha. You know why I say that? :unsure::)

I have a friend who has an r32, and he keeps saying f**k this is ugly, should have bought an r33 like yours. Everytime I hear him say that, I crack up so hard.

We actually have an r32, so it's not like I hate them or anything. I've noticed that r32 owners always start first in saying calling 33s boats, whales etc. so I figured ... :D

the new actuator you have purchased bots onto the back of the compressor housing where the bolts are.

the standard one is on the front of the comp cover.

so when you unbolt the standard one thro it in the bin, then undo the two bolts on your comp cover and bolt and adjust accordingly.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
