R34 has a larger comp cover, larger comp wheel made from plastic composite, and larger turbine housing. The similarities are in the centre bearing housing, and turbine rotor.

Basically the R34 turbo is a higher flowing unit good for a few more kW at the cost of a bit less response. Blame the bigger turbine A/R for that one, but it would still go pretty good for a straight bolt up unit.

Frankly unless you absolutely have to change due to turbine failure, I'd save more $$ and get a high flow or hybrid upgrade and side step the ceramic OE turbine.

I thought all skyline (and silvia for that matter) turbos are ball bearing...

the R34 turbo is fairly light for its size (plastic comp wheel) but cannot handle more than say 13-14psi of boost before shattering due to being ceramic. I think the R32 turbo has steel wheels (correct?) and can therefore handle more boost. silvia turbos are also steel-wheeled for what its worth.

The R34 turbo is also larger (as mentioned) so yeah not sure if that means it would spool slower due to its size or quicker due to its weight...

simply put NO... they are not bb turbo's i found this out the hard way when i took mine apart

"One of the biggest attractions of this turbo is its sophisticated design – it uses a water-cooled core with a roller bearing, ceramic turbine and lightweight compressor. These factors contribute to a very fast spool-up time."

correct me if im wrong but r32 turbines are t28's i believe... these always have steel wheels and are a good bit of kit.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By No1 · Posted

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
