Exact same as mine Noel! Hopefully you get some good results from it

So do I Scott, selection hasnt been easy but I was determined to move away from garret. I'm over their crap.

It will be a while before the car is ready for numbers as i am waiting for some other tasty morsels to arrive but I'm super keen to see what transpires once its all done.

Its definitely a growing combo Noel, Which head are you running with, 25 or 26?

call it what you like scot. it began life as a 25 head but its been converted to solid lifter operation to open up cam selection.

I know an awesome tuner that now loves bolting precisions onto RB's and adding some E85 and some other magic and numbers happen :yes:

Turbo arrived on the weekend. Interesting physical comparison to the garret 37/88.

Front and rear housings are both smaller and the the precision is considerably lighter but the precision out flows the garret by plenty.

Exciting times....

I have some fabrication this week, fitting a 6766 onto a built single cam RB30. Nice looking unit and should flow some air as he is planning to run 35+psi. :)

One thing, these turbo's don't come with rear flanges, and are not a standard 3 inch Vband size, any idea where I can find a Vband for the 4 inch dump at short notice? I really don't want to make one on the lathe, but I will have to if they aren't available locally. Why no flange Precision? :/

I asked the guy that sold us the turbo, he said 3 weeks from the US, but not to bother as the Precision Vband quality was poor.

I modified a standard ebay 3 inch stainless Vband flange, machining the V smaller and opening up the inside to around 3.25 inch. It works perfectly and seals tight using the aftermarket 3 inch clamp.

As he will be running 35+ psi on a 40mm turbosmart gate, I suggested to use the taller HP cap kit with 35psi spring. There are two kits on their way down from Turbosmart as we speak, the other kit is for me. Let you guys know how well they work. ;)

hello guys,

for the people that have a precision turbo installed or have installed these in project cars. What size oil feed fittings did you use?

I've searched on google and found people saying -3 AN some say -4 AN and some say -4 AN with a restrictor. So i'm confused as to what i should use.

I have a precision 5857 that i bought long ago and i'm now able to install it and want to know which fittings to use so i dont blow the seals.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I looked around for this information for a while too, and finally when throwing out the shipping box for the turbo found that the information was actually in the box.

Here I was thinking Precision shipped turbos with no information like Garrett do.

There is an inner and outer box, and al the necessary information I needed was between the two. Tear you box apart and you'll probably find it too, along with stickers etc.

If there is one thing the Precision vbands could do to improve their setup, it would be to make the vband positively centre on the housing by machining a matching edge on the housing and flange. Such a simple thing to do, and it greatly improves the seal, load carrying capability and guarantees pipework is centre off the back of the housing.

Yes have to agree, the V-bands are average and need locating groves

Thanks, i will have a look when i get home later tonight.

    • 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?
