Ok 5558 on built sr20 is now run in. Boost was uncontrollable due to a mixture of incorrect wastegate spring and a loose block off bung in the side of wastegate.

Went for a quick roadtest to check boost pressure with 8psi spring and its running 14psi. With a 4th gear foot flat 2500rpm pull was cracking gate at 3500-3700 (14psi)

Will tune as soon as i get some time

Ordering from the US is always better for service IMHO.

I used Real Street Performance on a few occasions and delivery was about a week on all orders. There was one odd time when they couldn't ship an item because it was missing a piece from the MFG (the value of non drop ship vendors). That was rectified fairly quickly by the vendor, the supplier was a little slow though and I ended up taking a payout instead. Item arrived at my door, missing the said gasket, within days of telling them to send as is.

They also sell PT's and pricing is as competitive as it gets.

6466 is now on the manifold, and i am now looking forward to cutting myself to bits doing the pipework lol! Also, just an FYI for you simon, you may have trouble with the outlet on the turbo if mounted on the greddy manifold as mine sits rearward moreso than the greddy items, so pipework may have to face directly downwards and do a 140 degree turn.

Pics would be handy :)

Sort your line out?

just waiting on a 12mm metric to -3 adaptor and i will have the oil lines sorted. The pressure pipework is going to be the next interesting part. The thing looks small compared to the 78-33d. It only just fits between the cam covers and the strut tower lol

Hey you guys with precision v-bands, re- the 3" outlet to dump pipe, -the v-band flange welded to the turbo doesnt have a seat for the female flange and the Performance Exhaust at Northmead guy told me I need to get a female flange milled to suit with the clamp and my turbine flange because most of the time the clamps are too wide and the dump has play in the joint . He said it will fit first time but not after if I just get an off the shelf vband flange kit. Is that correct and what you guys doing about that? Where and what size T3 spacers you using, theres some 11mm ones on ebay, mine is a 5558 to go on stock rb25 mani- low mount.

Last question- oil feed and return, any suggestions on fitting sizes and line lengths? Or just let the tuner (unigroup/jem etc) sort that out..

And how much u guys paying for fabrication work, and any recommendations? Pm me if you dont wana post on here, thanks :)

I can preeeety safely say, if its unigroup, let them sort the oil line for you. The 6466 i have was supplied with a machined V-Band flange, looks the goods and mates up 100% primo. I suggest talking to the unigroup guys and leaving it in thier capable hands mate :)

Thanks man, ur lucky you got a flange n clamp supplied as the precision ones are different in size to regular vband flanges and dont seal properly according to the exhaust guy and on the web, can anyone else with this 5558 or other 0.63 vband turbo please tell me where they got their dump flange n clamp from?? And any pics of how the gates welded to the turbine? Thinking if i should point the gate sideways towards the firewall or up upwards like a hat. Turbo will be Low mount on stock rb25 mani

Don't be stupid Paul, there are no compressor maps so they are rubbish.

Lol, not what I said... they are your words. But continue to misquote me to the benefit of being an internet hero.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
