Yep sent to him. Sadly in Canberra though...

It's pretty close to, if not, a 3076 from what I was told. Unsure of exact specs but will chase it up for future reference.

must be a stage 2 sierra? perhaps you might wanna open up that wastegate.

im joking mate. should be fine with the bigger wastegate.

mine blew up twice due to oil starvation

is boost creeping due to unsatisfactory wastegate and stronger spring

etc.

if i end up having to do it again. im going with craigs turbo.

FYP

Lol at the simple dude

Hopefully not. Been supplied a new oil line and were going to ensure the feed is 3mm all the way to the turbo. Wastegate actuator has been modified by Scotty so should hopefully hold ok.

I'm gonna get a boost gauge though so I can keep a more accurate eye on it me thinks..

lol i couldnt remember it while i was typing.

once its all fixed up you shouldnt have ny over boosting issues. it should hold a flat 15-16 psi with that spring,,

The good news - from the 5min drive I did have it felt pretty strong, especially in the midrange. Cnsidering it's about $400 cheaper than the precision turbo rebuild I'd consider it a good option. That being said, if I had my time again id firstly pull the engine and go for a precision turbo rebuild, for ease of installation.

Anyway, another week and a half or so and it'll be back on the road

Big thanks to Jetwreck, massive effort so far...

So what is a a second removal and Install of the turbo going to cost you?

I would have thought that is at least 8 hours extra work at what every rate you have agreed with Jetwreck.

I would call that a terrible build for our car if there is even the slightest possibility that it would require additional work around the turbo that you have now seen is stupidly tight.

I still have nightmares about my turbo change.... :woot: seems to always conjure images of half naked girls and orgies... (that is a whole different story... lol )

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
