hey guys i was really interested to know if anyone can double check for me if turbos from auto r33 gtst's are/look different to manua r33l gtst's?

i bought one and it looks like this.

now can someone tell me if this is an r32 gtst turbo or possibly an "auto r33 gtst" turbo.

i have heard this in a couple of cases where the auto r33 turbos look different to manuals but looks similar to r32 turbos but with bigger compressors or something along those lines? do series 1 or 2 matter also?

can anyone confirm?

fyi

the turbocharger on the auto and manual GTST (of the same model) is identical

ie nissan did not make different turbocharger models for auto and manual

they did, however, use a different actuator spring on the auto turbocharger

this is because the AUTO gtst runs less boost than manual from factory

from paulr33.com

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

ah fair enough thanks for that paul. so this is no doubt a r32 gtst turbo?

here are some pics of the rear housing. bigger compressor then normal?

sorry about the crappy pics lol.

Ah awesome. Thanks for tht stao...its actually going on a rb20 so should be good. Thanks heaps...looks like I got bargain lol

you can, if you can drill out the oil restrictor on the hollow screw and the benjo. not recommended.

Thats what I have done, been running fine for over 3 years. You just have to be careful of how much you drill into the banjo, as it doesnt like too much or too little oil, esp if its journal bearing.

@paulr33 I beg to differ about the boost levels between the r33 auto and manual. I drive a auto, and before I put a boost controller on, it was boosting to around 7psi in high boost mode. Which should be just over halfway on the stock gauge.

I drive a auto, and before I put a boost controller on, it was boosting to around 7psi in high boost mode.

Says it all. High boost Mode would've had the stock solenoid hooked up which gives 2psi extra.

My car was auto from factory but converted to manual, boost was 5 & 7psi and 7psi with high boost mode.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
