hi all, I have a couple of questins regarding a hi flow turbo that i am considering buying (i have a lot to learn when it comes to turbo's), I only have a certain amount of information at this point about the turbo but the rest of the info will be made avalible to me as soon as i know what questions to ask.

here's some info on the turbo:car was taken to geebung drift king with blown turbo. they removed it and sent it off to Garrett to get it rebuilt. apparantly its a pretty custom jobby. 300zx turbo housing high flowed with steel wheel, rb25 compressor housing high flowed with steel wheel. (there are recipts for the work done on turbo)

would a a 300zx rear on it make it spool quicker ?

at this stage i am assuming it was origionally a R32 stock turbo at the begining, will this be a straight bolt up to my Rb25det?

will it be a better than my stock R33 turbo?

my stock turbo comes on nicely a 2000rpm and currently running 12-13psi daily

reason for buying this other turbo is so i can happily run it at 1bar daily,if and when i deciede to get it out on the track i will be happy to wind it up to 18psi and have my stock turbo laying around as a spare, i would appreciate any constructive input and answers if you have them, if you have any questions u think i should put forward to the owner please let me know, cheers Damo

shirt answer is YES. it will bolt on and be an upgrade.

Long answer would invole you answering more questions which you won't know the answers to as you are not the workshop who took it apart and measured bits.

that depends matey. The is it the 300zx twin turbo? or single turbo. The twin turbo one is no good.

Only the single turbo one - also known as the vg30det turbo - not the dett

I hope/believe it is the single turbo. why is the twin one turbo no good?? thanx in advance Damo

the twin turbo ones use a t25 flange (and are too small for your car), the single uses a t3 flange - same as your stocky.

If it has OP6 on the exhaust side and the usual R33 compressor housing it might just be an R34 turbo thats been rebuilt.. If hat has been hi flowed and rebuilt with steel wheels ur laughing. I recently bought a 34 turbo (stock) and it has the same VG30 rear housing from a Z31 3L single turbo V6 and same compressor housing as the R33. Basically the upgrade to an R33 RB25 turbo is it shoudln't run out of puf at the top. If urs is a hi flow u should see some good gains, bit more lag, more top end. Thats what it sounds like to me. A good indication of a hi flow turbo is the rear housing, If there rear wheel is large enough to come close to outlet maximum measurement its deffinately been enlarged.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
