Hey guys

Just bought a r33 sII turbo, going to put it on this weekend. I was looking at it and noticed that the line from the actuator to the turbo on the stock rb20 turbo is different on the r33 turbo...It doesnt run back to the turbo.

Just wondering what other people have done. If anyone has a pic to show, that would be great!

Cheers, Josh

what i did was got a radiator out of an automatic commodore (they have an oil cooler in them) ripped the oil cooler out and cut the nipple of that the trans oil pipes connect to then drilled a hole in the metlal pipe that goes to the plenum and inserted the nipple in the hole from the inside of the pipe and sealed it with automotive silicone and put the nut (that held the cooler in the radiator) on the outside using a bit more silicone and bob is your uncle wastgate acctuator feed :blink: Oh and dude if you are taking your manifold off to change the turbo go and get new maifold studs and nuts, a new gasket, i know nissan stock them in S.A. and some easy outs coz at least 1 will snap for sure,i did mine and 4 snapped and one had already fallen out!

Thanks guys. appreciate the help.

I have also been told that for a quick to fit a T piece somewhere in the line that runs from the plenum to the standard BOV.

But wasn't sure if that would work...

NO WAY!!!! when you take your foot of the gas it will slam your wate gate shut hard as hell!!! it might even damage the diaphram in the acctuator because of the massive change from positive pressure to vac..

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