Depends what it is, does it have a vg30 rear? adjustable wastegate? ball bearing or bush bearing? who made it and when? how big is the front on it?

once you have worked all of that out you can find out what it is worth in good condition then make a couple of calls to find out how much to rebuild and from there you can work out how much it is worth in its current condition, maybe only worth the value of the vg30 rear housing, if it has up and down shaft play the front and rear wheels may also be screwed then its worth very little.

it looks like a hypergear one no adjustable wastegate fines on compressor are ok there not bent in anyway and i would say it has a garett cartidge

and is there anyway to tell a VG30 rear?? it looks like a stock R33 turbo just hi-flowed

Some will have op6 stamped on the housing there are others but I don't know what is stamped on there, a basic hypergear high flow is only about $800 I think and I got a quoted about $400 from hypergear for a basic rebuild.

Generally if the turbo is performing as usual without making any sort of unusual sound then it is ok.

When breather is blocked crank case pressure forces oil to leak out of seals (including turbo seals).

The bearing clearance is about 1mm side to side and 10 thou in and out, So it will feels as a little play. That goes away under pressurized oil.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
