Hey I was set on getting a set of r33 GTR N1 Turbos from somone on this forum who sells them brand new fully rebuilt inside for 1,800 and as i was at this parts shop yesterday i asked him about a matching pair of turbos he had sitting on his back wall and he told me they were R32 N1 turbos so i asked to have a look and they look in mint cond been cleaned out and look to be almost new he told me they had just come from japan and he offered to sell them for $900

Im just a bit confused because cheaper am i going to get the same power is there that much of a difference in the R33 brand new built one compared to used ones that are in still excellent condition will there be that much of a power loss?

Im leaning towards the 900 ones but i wanted to ask for peoples opinions before i did just looking for some advice thanks guys

Without pulling them apart - you do not know they are in excellent condition

Other than that, one set if markedly (15yrs+) older than the other. Not real difference

Hence the price vs the price of fully rebuilt ones

I know what i'd be choosing, especially because you didnt wanna be paying $800 to have them swapped in the first place... imagine having to pay that twice if they fail!!!

wtf? i never siad i didnt want to pay $800 i was asking what others paid to get an idea if i was getting a good deal or not but yea thanx anyway for the advice ill think about it

I'm not familiar with the 33 n1 turbos, but the 34 n1s are a good upgrade. not too big, ball bearing cores etc.

the 32 n1s on the other hand are rubbish. 15yo design, laggy and 270o bush bearing. Stay away unless you need to use them like I do because of race rules.

I'm sure someone on here can confirm the details of the 33 ones.

oh ok dam there is a bit of difference mmmmm thanks heaps for the effort of getting that for me and showing me man i really appreciate that alot and its good to see ppl helping eachother out on the forum lending a hand to each other thanks man

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • 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  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
