The housing can be machined off centre, damaged or moved in postage, or just a really poor design common to stuffing 3076 cores into stock housings. Hypergear should have been your first port of call imo. ;)

is it a GCG highflow ?, how loud was your whining noise?

Kando highflow with OP6 rear housing. Whining noise wasn't very loud but noticeable. Wasn't until I come onto a highway at full noise at about 6000rpm that it became a screeching noise :-| blue smoke everywhere after that as well haha.

Pulled the intake off and the shaft play is more like 'shaft free roam'.

My oil feed gasket let go and starved the bearing of oil is my guess for it's failure.

can a turbo be damaged through postage?

If it was fully assembled when posted - No.

Not unless it received such a massive shock that it PHYSICALLY damaged the compressor housing, by means of cracking it. That would be one BIG impact.

I recommend you ask the seller why he removed it and ask for PROOF. I hate to be the nay sayer but I think you will find he took it off knowing it was making a whaling noise.

    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
