What setup did you have player?

I have a worked motor with a 35r and it is NO way as laggy as your setup. Boost by 4200-4800

Oh ok, sounds about right because 3400 - 3600 is higher than 4200 yeah? You are DREAMING if you think your turbo spools faster than anything. A Garret 3076 is much smaller than the 35r and makes full boost close to 3800. 4800rpm.... By the time you hit boost its almost time to get out of gear.

I'd like to add a point here. When you are giving the car a bootfull you are taking it to redline yes? So it is irrelevant if a big turbo comes on boost later. As long as you have enough revs up your sleeve so that the next gear change will make boost it doesn't matter how small your powerband is. A smaller turbo means that you get boost earlier once. After either turbo is spooled and the revs are up they stay pretty well the same.

A smaller, more efficiently designed turbo on a small motor like an RB will be better than a larger turbo. The smaller turbo will be much, MUCH more suitable as a street, track and drift car. That lag between boost can be the difference in many things. No point having a big turbo making 320rwkw with big lag while a smaller turbo can make the same power with much less lag. That is the point I'm getting at. The OP has a stock block so you will be really pushing the motor with a 35r when something smaller can create big power with less boost.

Believe me, even with full boost by 3600rpm, in 2nd gear if I am down in the rev range it feels like forever waiting for boost to come on and its sometimes embarrassing as you can hear the car wanting to come on but nothing happens. How shit would this be having to wait nearly 1000rpm more.

Probably as shit as it would be when you are both rolling and you both have the right gear selected and the bigger turbo just leaves you for dead for all the extra power it provides. Having a big turbo is not a bad thing. You just have to learn to drive around it. I have owned and rode 2 stroke bikes for over 20 years. You have to have the right gear or you got nothing. But then when its on band no 4 stroke can get near it. You don't chose a 35r to get the same power level as a 30r. How many people drive their car on boost all the time? I hardly ever do. It uses too much fuel. I either grandma drive or I flog the guts out of it.

Smaller turbo's need more boost.

That's up to individual personal taste.

    • 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
