The VG30DET turbo's from the Leopard or similiar have a larger exhaust a/r BUT have a slightly smaller compressor wheel than the RB25 terbs.

They are ball bearing and have a ceramic exhaust wheel.

They are worth around $400.

There is an older VG30DET turbo that is non-BB and has steel wheels.

They are slightly cheaper again.

You may be better off hunting for a second hand T3/4 from a jap wrecker. I've seen them for around 1k. I've seen RB25 turbo's from jap wreckers from $600-$800.

They can be found for $500 or so from those RB25 owners upgrading their turbo's. :)

Yep well i have the ball bearing VG30 one...Im looking to get around $300 for it, i bought it for my FJ20, but i've bought a manifold that i was told the turbo would fit onto and it didn't :) So i had to buy the turbo as well not that thats a big issue hehe :)

So which one do you have the BB or the non-BB?

I'm going to be running the stocker turbo on the RB30det for a little while.

I may grab the sucker if the other bloke doesn't and see how it goes on the 3ltr.

I've had one on the 2ltr and it was crap, 12psi by 4200rpm :)

an also yeah i will get a BOV.....probly HKS SSQV...so if ne1 has got 1 of them 2 suit R33 already..ie: cbf gettin adaptor made or buying 1 seperate...jus want 2 get it an bolt it on

also when i get a replacement turbo...does ne1 know wat i will have 2 do besides bolt it on...like will i need 2 strip the motor down an clean it all up???? thanx ppls help appreciated

Pm has been sent :mad:

my bro's friend talked 2 me on the fone an asked me 4 million q's an reakond it was a blown turbo seal..

Well that doesn't sound like the most reputable source now... does it?

Perhaps before spending your cash on a new turbo, you should get the problem professionally diagnosed?

I think you'll find your answer lies in the 3rd post in this thread. Everything points to a cracked ringland and a whole heap of blow-by. Take Buster's advice and get a leakdown test. It's cheap, and I think it'll save you about $300 or however much you're planning on buying a VG30 turbo for :)

k will chek out man,

thanx im alwayz after a second opinion....will try 2 get 1 done 2morrow......mate i have no idea wats rong with it..thats y came on here 4 sum advice.....so thank u every1..will let all know wat the prob is 2morrow if i can get cheked

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
