Hey Guys,

just need some advice as im looking at buying an R34 GTT turbo which will supposedly bolt right onto my R33 RB25det without having to change anything.

looking at buying an op6 Turbo but am unsure as to whether this is off an R34 and if it will bolt straight on?

Ive also been told to get the R34 GTT turbo high flowed.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Yes. It is almost exactly the same turbo. The internals of the OP6 housing are larger than the 21U housing on your std 25 turbo.

A turbo with an OP6 housing is not necessarily an R34 turbo though. The OP6 was also used on VG30 turbos. I suspect the easiest way to tell the difference would be that VGs probably have an alloy compressor and R34s would have a plastic compressor.

For everything you need to know about highflowing these, look at the stickied Hypergear thread.

/searchable topic.

yes, and it's an awesome turbo considering the price tag. Although it doesn't run very well on the standard R33 ecu. I was having issues at 9 psi on the HG 21u highflow

so in other words if you're on the factory ecu stick to the factory r33 turbo. I'm sure the R34 turbo will run okay but it wont be perfect without a tune

yeah i am planning on getting a Nistune ecu as well.. can anyone recommended where to buy Nistune ecu or would you recommended Apexi Power FC and Boost controller ? thanx guys

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
