the R33 turbo has a steel compressor wheel

the r34 turbo has a plastic compressor wheel

they both have ceramic exhaust wheels

ive herd that some S2 R33 turbos have the plastic wheel aswell but im not sure.

but i think the plastic compressor wheel is better then the ceramic one from the R32s.

but i think alot of the gained power has been from the VVT. There's less lag aswell.

Well I guess it depends what limits rpm first, the valvetrain or the bits of metal swinging around underneath...

After hearing the Blitz R34 drifting car screaming on the (sounds like 8,000rpm+) limiter I am guessing that this is the difference.

an RB26 has the same size bore and a longer stroke and revs higher than an RB25 so...

Well I know it probably doesn't mean much cos I don't know what the R33's rev like but at 7000rpm mine absolutely sings. Haven't tried taking it higher though.

The turbos for the R33 and R34 bolt on exactly the same. I assume they have exact power comparisons. After my turbo blew I was looking at a rebuild but after alot of frigging around I just brought an R34 turbo yesterday and I get the car from the performance shop today. I will post in the next few days with any differences (if any) I notice with the new turbo and hopefully some dyno sheets to compare

Hit the rev limiter on me GTT for a short time.. oops.. :| But friend of mine reckons its a very sweet sound.. :)

As to the original post.. not sure about the exact diff between the two turbos.. but was told that the standard R34 turbo can take 1bar normally no problem. Tho cant say I'm gamed to do it atm. :(

Hrmm.. 0.7 bar.. what does that read on the standard boost gauge? Think mine is running approx. that, on my boost gauge the needle goes over ~2/3mm after the indicater between the 0 and 1+ :) (On boost that is) The turbo seems fine, cause I usually drive with more than just a few squirts.. :(

Ppls,

Skylineboy: Titanium wheels? Yes, F1 turbos used to have these. Obvious advantages, and obscene costs.

I've raised my boost upto the factory boost cut point on my R34 (a touch below of course) and and have had zero problems thus far (* frantically knocking on wood *).

I bounce off the rev limiter quite often. The factory tacho in the dash just isn't fast enough and first gear often sees me hit the limiter. oh well, that's what its there for!!

BASS OUT

The S2 R33 GTS25t type-m has a turbo charger made by hitachi, and it's had a ceramic compressor wheel.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
