Hey guys,

I recently purchased this turbo and was planning to use it on my ca18 silvia. I now have to sell my car so this turbo is up for sale. Its a rb25 turbo from a R33 which has been hiflowed and rebuilt by Precision Turbochargers in Port Macquarie. Its also been machined and now uses a larger sierra wheel. This turbo has been barely used and is like new. Would be a great upgrade for rb20 or even rb25

I can do $850 posted for quick sale, as funds are low atm :P

I am on the Sunshine Coast if you can pickup

I belive only the series 2 R33 turbo's are BB.......Going by the information i was able to obtain in regards to markings on the housings.......yours appears to be series 1.

I could be wrong of course (been known to happen :rofl: )

sorry to possibly hinder your sale......just feel it is better to be sure before sale rather than have the buyer come back after purchase upset. Good luck.......hope it is BB (that means mine is too then :rofl: )

Thanks RiverSide I was under the impression r33 turbos were BB. With the number on the cover can any one clear this up for me? if its either BB or not the rebuild/hiflow cost $1300 so this is a still a good price. Priced for a quick sale.

actually fane, I know for a fact that my R33 Series II turbo has 45v3 on it, not 45v2. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it would be a rebuilt s1 turbo, which is still ball bearing anyway.

Good luck with sale!

Just throw a spanner in the works again.........what series would it be if it has V4 written on it?

Would that be off a very late model R33?

ps. I am being serious, I am looking at one for the wifes car it is stamped V4. With all those numbers flying around in this thread i thought you guys might have thought i was taking the piss.

stop dribbling shit

i had a vg30et turbo

which had 45v4

seen ones with 45v2

i dunno whats up with it but there all the same in some way

but yeah

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
