The whole place?  Note that I'm not unfamiliar with the UK, I've spent a bit of time there.  Never heard it used in that way.

It's international English here marveling is not a far fetched word in either spelling.

The Queen would possibly not use it. But the rest of the population has no issue with elevator (lift), holidays (vacation),  gas (petrol), highway (motorway), apartment (flat) or marveling :)

There is no way that anyone in the US uses marvelling in that way.  Nor Australia.  Nor Canada.  Excluding India, which we will ignore because there is no case for normalising the way that they use (abuse/destroy) English, that pretty much leaves the UK and a few places in Africa and SE Asia.....which I have also spent a lot of time in and never heard anyone use it.

When I hear myself think the word in my head, I hear it with an Ali G accent.

Yeah marvelling and contemplating have entirely different meanings....

In any case, yeah, OP6 is the better housing to use if you ever really want to lean on the thing. Not often that people have both to choose from, and typically not really worth "upgrading" to if you already have a hiflow with the 21U housing.

That said, the Turbo is pretty much the most important part of the car for performance, so unless for some reason you must have stock turbine housings, or are aiming for 220kw don't use one.

OP6 is made for a Neo engine, and it has higher CPR, and more VCT cam angle.  Fitting that housing to a normal R33's high flow will result in an average of 500RPM worth of lag and increase HP by roughly 15kws. 

I think you'll find the static compression ratio is the same . Lower volume combustion chamber and the middle of the piston crown is lower . On the R33 spec RB25DET pistons the "plateau" is taller effectively giving deeper valve head reliefs . From memory the Neo turbo pistons may have the oil cooling channels behind the ring pack area like RB26 pistons do .

Pretty sure the Nissan WSM shows the static CR as 9.0:1 .  And they used a slightly larger side mount intercooler .

I'm at 260RKW with the currently installed hybrid, or did you mean 320RKW?

Alas I prefer responsiveness to top end since the car is used 99% on public roads.

You're correct .. same compression ratio

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
