What's up mates. I recently had a rear turbo grenade on me about 4 months ago while driving to work one day on my R32 RB26DETT engine. Well, I had a bloke that bought an RB26DETT engine from an importer here in the States. The engine was slightly modified, having wire taps on the harness, aftermarket FPR, R34 valve covers, etc. Anyways, I ended up buying his set of turbos from him. I was in the middle of installing them when I noticed something peculiar about them. On my stock turbos, IN A/R is 0.42 and the EX A/R is I think 0.48 if I can see my pictures clear enough. Well, the "stock" turbos I bought from my friend are different. They read IN A/R of 0.60 and EX A/R of 0.64. Side by side they are obivously larger, especially on the turbine side. Judging by what little research I did, I am thinking they are N1 turbos, but I am not sure, and if they are, I am not sure from what chassis, ie. R32, R33, or R34. I went ahead and installed both of them anyways. I feel like I am making a little more power at the same boost level of 13lbs, and it is of course taking a wee-little bit longer to spool. I have taken a few photos and I am wondering what you think. What are these turbos and what max PSI do you think I can run on them? Thanks all.

dude they look exactly the same as the pair of N1 turbos i fitted to my gtr,

check the spacing of the oil drain flange bolts,

the genuine n1's are the same as stock, R34 n1s are slightly wider bolt spacing, only 5mm but different.

Well, I used the drains from my stock turbos because he gave me his turbos with no components on them, ie. actuators, drains, line feeds, etc.....

Look at the plate in between the cooling lines on the center housing. There should be a plate with the part number. I have a set simular to yours. The numbers on mine are 14411-06U00.

Information I have found is these are R32 Nismo type turbo's with a 15 degree cutback and a 270 degree thrust bearing. They are supposed to be capable of about 300ps each. As for Maximum boost, cannot help you there. I do not think you would want to go as high as ball bearing equivelents.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      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. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      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!
