I ended up scoring an R32 collector gasket. The R33 one is all rubber where the R32 one has a metal piece sandwiched inbetween the rubber. May hold up better with higher boost like Stao was saying.

My s1 had the metal/ rubber one standard but used a durapro rubber one and so far so good

maybe yours wasnt stock man.

Im pretty sure all the factory ones are metal/rubber composite.

I remember when Mick's one fkd out on Unigroups dyno I found it because I could hear it playing the metal bit of the gasket like a gumleaf on boost.

I would like to know what peoples opinions are on how much shaft play is normal for a turbo to have? Mine is about 1-1.5 mm total. It just feels like a lot more than what it should have. I have a SS2 with 0.82 rear. The car is also driven hard all the time. But does get good warm ups and cool downs

There should be around 30thou clearance which is just under a mm, you can't get 1.5mm as it would be scrapping housings. pressurized oil centers the shaft once engine starts, so as long as its running and boosting then its all normal.

For anyone curious on the topic of cometic gasket sets, my S14 intermediate gasket (plenum to runners) was also WRONG and didnt fit at all.

The gasket seems to be for an S13 and not an S14. Sounds exactly like them selling you a R34 kit with an R33 intermediate gasket.

Fags!

Finally had the .70 SS2 Tune on the high mount with plumb back external gate. The SS2 maxed out touch under 360rwkws (359.3rwkws) on 22psi of boost. 30kws gain over the side mount internal gate setup.

This turbo probably had the most area under curve in its HP range, felt excellent on road.

hey i think i left launch control activated on your adaptronic, when warm and stopped it should cut at around 3700rpm. Just check.

Yes it does. I will sms you for instructions if I can't turn that off my self. Car drives really good and solid. Thanks for Great work.

Yes all on E85. Below is Drift havoc's R33 build (abe2), its pretty interesting to have a read at, I've linked it to his facebook blog.

That is an unopened Rb25det motor. made 350rwkws using the same SS2 .70 comped turbocharger as mine with his hand made high mount manifold using a turbosmart gate. That car also has a plazamaman inlet manifold with 2x 4inches induction pipe (lol).

Nice work Stao! Its good to see the 71mm billet wheel is so potent.

Also nice to know I can easily have my SS1PU upgraded into a monster turbo like that if I ever want to upgrade down the track :)

I will have you another SR20 SS1PU result in January. My motor is fully built and will be fitted to the car soon.

P.S. I asked previously, but is it possible to get an actuator with a shorter rod? The low pressure actuator on my SS1PU is fully maxed out adjustment wise, and the preload is not as much as I would like.

No plazaman plenum, was too throttle laggy Abe fitted RB26 plenum and ITB's and it is now unbelievably snappy. videos of it here https://www.facebook.com/ChequeredTuning

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
