fair enough.

given the pics, it seems that it could be a HKS GT2540R as they were the only turbo in the HKS GT25xx series which cam with the A/R .50 compressor housing and the A/R .86 exhaust housing.

what flange does it have, GT25 or T3?

Unfortunatly the middle pic hides the core so cannot tell if its a ball bearing type . One easy way to tell is to count the bolts on the core side of the exhaust housing . Four bolts means bush bearing and six bolts means ball bearing . That turbos compressor cover is a TO4E .50AR . I forgot to see if there is a divider web between the turbine outlet and wastegate outlet . If it has this and the four bolt exhaust housing its a Garrett Hybrid . I have seen something similar to this but with a .60AR B cover from Garrett . For positive ID really need to remove the compressor cover and measure major and minor diameters . This will tell the whole story . I have not seen HKS use that .86AR exhaust housing and turbine combination on their 25 or 28 series BB turbos .

Fair enough so BB core with NS111 turbine . Still need to see comp wheel , unscrew the six bolts on the backplate adapter and carefully slide it off . If the major diameter is 76mm (3") its probably a 46 trim TO4E wheel making the turbo a HKS GT2540 . The only one of these I've seen was GTR specific and used a .64AR turbine housing and I think a T3 style compressor cover . It makes sense to use the larger housings for a single turbo application but most agree the 2540 is not a good pairing of compressor and turbine wheels . My own opinion is that turbine is best paired with the 60mm compressors ie GT2530 / GT28RS and whatever the GTR Skyline upgrade turbo is called .

Any how whip off the front cover and all will be revealed , Cheers A .

From HKS there are three versions of the 2540 all using the same core and wheels . The first has a T3 flanged .64AR exhaust housing probably aimed at RB20/25 for R32/33/34 . The other two have the 2540R designation and the difference is .64 or .86 AR T25/28 flanged exhaust housings . The two "R" versions are probably aimed at the Rb26 and SR20 engines .

Now the compressor wheel is 46 trim and should measure 51.7mm across the tips .

Your turbo may be that third version .

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      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?
