Hi Guys,

I'm new to the GTR ownership and just don't really know what's the difference on the stock turbos between R33 GTR and R34 GTR.

I have also heard the R34 twins got ball bearings. What are ball bearings and what are thrust bearings? Does it make any performance/durability difference?

Much appreciated!

For all intents and purposes - the stock turbos are basically the same.

They are both shit, both ceramic, and if they blow with potentially take the motor with them (usually rear that dies)

Is there any difference between the stock turbos and the Nur spec 2 roller bearing turbos?

I have just bought a set of Garrett -7s. Now what?

Pop them in a box and mail them to me.

Or you could take your car to mechanic and ask him nicely if he'll please put them on for you. A fee may or may not be involved.

if you like tinkering with cars, set aside half a day,grab the PDF manual and your new copper washers/ gaskets and tools - then enjoy. (has been documented a number of times and there are things to know about...)

otherwise take it to one of the recommended workshops where they will fit (and probably recommend other things as well), then enjoy 1bar without worries. from there is it time to spend on other mods/ equipment ;)

great choice on the R34 mate :ermm:

Thanks mate. I really think I'm not the man for the job. The car is now at a workshop.

Also what kinda of boost to run on a stock internal with -7? 1? 1.2? 1.5? Any commends really appreciated.

How long is a piece of string!

Depends on engine condition, supporting mods etc.

I'm running 17-18psi nearly maxing out stock fuel system and Airflow meters.

300kw at the rears is what most people get give or take.

Thanks! Can the stock turbos be re-utilized somehow?

Thanks. That's about 1.2 bar.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
