The turbo is not a T3 it is a T28

The difference between series 1 and 2 turbos is series 2 have a plastic wheel, and series 1 have a ceramic wheel (i thing thats the exhaust wheel).

The standard cooler are CRAP

DOCTOR is correct.

The skyline turbo's (SKYLINE GTST anyway.. not the GTR) is a T3.

As for the wheels inside the turbo.

R32 GTST = T3, Steel blades on inlet, Ceramic blades on exhaust

R33 GTST series 1 = T3, Steel blades on inlet, Ceramic blades on exhaust.

R33 GTST series 2 = T3, Plastic blades on inlet, Ceramic blades on exhaust.

GTR's use 2 T28's.. don't know about the specs of the blades of the turbo.

Even though the R32 and R33 uses a T3 turbo housing the specs of the blades and the AR is different. You can usually make more power out of the T3 from the R33 engines..

Also, a lot of people don't like the idea of having a plastic wheel on the inlet side of the turbo as it is on the series 2 R33's.

The intercooler on the R33 is pretty useless if you start modifying.

I would say that once you do exhaust and filter on the R33's (or R32's for that matter), the intercooler is going to be on it's limit. And in Summer you are going to suffer a bit.

Did I miss anything?

GTR's use T25's, except for the 34, the 400R and N1's.

Are you sure the turbo's are T3's? Wouldn't make for much of an upgrade putting a T3 on then would it? And I know of 25t's that have done this.

Also, the spec2 turbo is stronger by virtue of the compressor being bonded to the shaft, not fitted.

There are different versions of T3's

Take the T3 from a VL turbo commodore for instance.. It can support more power than the T3 stuck to the RB20DET.

Or the T3 from the Ford Sierra's...

T3 only refers to the turbo housing.. it could have different blades on the inlet and exhaust side to produce more power.

So getting a T3 from a different car and having it on the RB25DET COULD be worth while.

Like alot of people do the upgrade of getting the T3 off the nissan VG30DET (old 300zx with the single turbo) and puting it on the RB20DET cause THAT T3 flows much better than the T3 on the Stock RB20DET.

If they werent T3 they would be an upgrade for a silvia etc but they are totally different and dont fit.

Doc

That could have something to do with the flange patterns being different.

Do you mean that the only turbo's that RB25 and RB20's can have, has to have a T3 exhaust?

Not at all, I've got a larger turbo than that... If you do decide to go larger, you just have to look at fabricating a new exhaust manifold, or have an adapter plate made so that you can fit the new manifold flange.

You'll also find that the dump and intake sides are both different too, so new piping will probably need to be made up on either side.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
