Hey guys ive recently bought my first R32 GTS-t, ive had a good look under the bonet and found this turbo (Apexi AX53B70). ive just had the engine though a compression test and it failed miserably so im looking for a new RB20, but i was curious if this turbo is worth while re-using or should i go for something different?

or can any1 tell me a little more about it?

so far all i can find is that the turbo is rated at 380hp for a SR20

cheers

Apexi turbo's are rare turbos nowadays being discontinued. That turbo according to my turbo chart is actually rated to ~320bhp. As a pair rated to 600hp according to nengun. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...st&p=980165 lists the turbos stats, trim size etc

it's a good turbo. keep it on the new RB20. you should be able to get a decent RB20 from a wrecker for $600 or so. the apexi turbos are a good thing. :P that size is a good match for the 20 too.

They got ceramic turbine wheels. They snaps off at where the turbine wheel joins the steel shaft. Do not over boost those things. And its pretty interesting how they decide to sacrifice reliability for response.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
