hello all, i have a dilemma with cracks on the inside and outside of a recently purchased rebuilt t3 hi flowed turbo for a r33 gtst... the bloke i bought it off claims he didnt know about the cracks and says he got it built at turbologic in portkembla and its never been used as of yet..

In someones knowledgable opinion is the housing completly screwed or can i bolt this up to my r33 and hope for the best?

if this turbo is indeed screwed why would turbo logic build it and give it back to the customer?

theres a big crack that leads to a hole, but the hole is right where it opens up anyway so would this be a problem?

Anyones advice,experience or info would be greatly appreciated thankyou :)

pretty sure rebuilt means they use old housings and just put in a new turbine / wheel so it could well have been cracked before and he just got it rebuilt but was to scared to use it. I wouldent use it, does he have reciepts for rebuild? if not then assume its not rebuilt either.

hey, iv got all the old parts that were on the turbo before it was apparently rebuilt and it also looks like the whole turbo and housing has been acid dipped or somethin. the photos were taken inside the exhaust side of the turbo and theres no soot or anything..

I never thought to even check for cracks only check the fins for movement etc i feel like an idiot!!..

i just thought that if the housing was shagged why would the builder complete the job? i heard this turbologic place was good.......

I have seen plenty of cracked turbo housings, its fairly common on the xr6 gt35 rears and usually around the wastegate. I doubt it would cause you problems but I wouldn't want it inside my turbo. >_<

I won't worry too much about the hair cracks around the wastegate hole. But the split inside the turbine housing is no good. I've seen few happened to some old VLT T3 turbos, this turbo would need a new turbine housing.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
