hey guys,

Was looking under my hood today (STOCK r34 gtt) and i was just wondering where the location of the turbo is found?

Does the stock turbo look like any other snail shaped turbo? I can't seem to locate it lol. I know it's probably a really stupid question, but i must know!

thanks :)

Next to the passenger side strut tower.

it will be heavily concealed by pipes and heat shields.

its not that silly a question, when i was a teenager and only first getting my hands dirty it was like an epiphany moment when i found the turbo on a friends car. admittedly they thought that was really lame but i was still in awe of my own achievement :P

FI section delivers.

This. To the humerus thread directory please.

But yes, it's below heat shields and piping, you won't see it if you don't know what you're looking at. better chance of seeing it in it's "snail" entirety from underneath the vehicle.

If you look down beside your passengers shock tower, you should see this:

Its under that. Grab a torch and shine it around and follow the intercooler pipes. You'l see the NISSAN stamp on the compressor cover. Unless, its lol, and NA

its not that nice to look at anyway... :unsure: lol its a small crappy thing, best not seeing it .. keep it covered and send it to hypergear , when it comes back you can drool over it.. :yes: then you will be happy to have it naked for all to see lol :mage:

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
