ahh, so all N1s are R34GTR turbos, but not all 34 turbos are N1s :D

makes sense now :)

>_<

All N1s are N1s - not ceramic

All R34 turbos are R34 turbos - all ceramic

Each N1 had a different variant. R32/R33 N1s are laggy POS turbos,

R34 N1s are the same as Garrett -7

Ive run 300.5kw at the wheels for 7 years in an R32GTR with stock R33 GTR Turbos on 98 and 18psi.

This car is tuned much closer to the bone than i would tune a customers car tho and i now plan to set it up on E85. Ive never found a better power curve than this car at this power level with any aftermarket Turbos so I will not change them. R32 Turbos do fail very quickly tho.

Yea....There are different grades of Inconel so some might be attracted to magnets and others are not.

A better test might be using a multimeter and check for continuity ......Xkalaba you got a meter to check it out?

yeah i've got a multimeter, i can check the set i pulled out, do you know what to look for to tell the difference ?

R34 N1s and -7s are similar but not the same, they have different comp wheel and housing.

gtr turbos

all turbos are listed with specs here

Dont know if your meter has a continuity function but touch the two probes together and turn the selector till you hear a constant beep, then just hold the probes on two different points on the turbine wheel....If it beeps that means that the wheel is a conductor and therefore metallic

If your meter does not have the above function, touch the two probes together and turn the dial to measure resistance(ohms) till you see the display zero off, again place the probes on two points of the turbine wheel and if you see it zero off or you get a small reading it is conductive.

Similarly with either method above, you can touch it on a known metal like the comp housing and you will hear it beep or get a reading of almost zero ohms

Ceramic is not a conductor and will not give any beep or reading

Hope you understand

snap on, so it better have it

thats what i was thinking, but good to confirm, cheers

the N1s turbos have a .64 rear housing and the wheel is bigger to but you need a set of verniers to tell, some have.60 front housing

Pretty sure he knows that part. Can u visually tell if the turbo is different from an N1 or the wheel is different?

Bringing it back,

Ceramics have a 12 sided looking nut on the end of the turbine which is one big piece of ceramic.

Inconel 'steel' wheel rear turbine wheel I have seen them with a 3 sided rounded nut on the end of the casting...

You can see it when looking at the skyline gtr turbo comparison photo on the world wide web...

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
