Hey guys im looking at grabbing this turbo off a mate i had a look at it yesterday, but I wasnt to sure on what i was looking for. Basicly the front of the turbo is all polished up nicely and there is no shaft play on the steel wheel but when you turn the turbo around and fiddle ith the exhaust wheel it has about 1 mm movement is this common or sh1te? what els should i be looking for? and will this turbo fit my car in its original place with no mods?

1mm of shaft play is usually fine, but an RB20 turbo would be way too small for an RB25.

an rb20 HI-FLOW turbo is perfectly suited for the awd auto stagea

sydneykid runs one on his

awesome responsiveness from low rpm boost

got photos?

1mm shaft play is as it should be

big rear steel wheel?

front housing and rear housing bored out?

give us a look-see :D

GCG high flows for 32/33 are the same, as they machine out the housings to suit the same size wheels.

i would assume that this turbo would be nice and responsive even if it is on the smaller side of high flows, aslong as it is slightly larger than stock i would check it out.

its not like our drivelines love big power anyway.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
