All skyline turbo's are BB, Vg30 had both BB and Thrust. If you look at the center housing there will be a 10mm bolt holding the BB cartridge. Non ball bearing nissan turbos have a finned backing on the compressor cover and come standard with steel turbine wheels. Having said all that some workshops hiflow bb turbos and change them to thrust at the same time. Best way to tell is to look inside the oil outlet at the bearings.

exactly..

and, not that many places have the equipment to rebuild turbo's with BB cartridges as they don't have the balancing machine..

maybe this place does but it seems to be quiet rare.

Most common rebuilt of RB20/25 turbo's to make them T4/3, is to rip the internals out and replace with thrust bearings and T4 compressor and T3 exhaust wheel and machine the openings out as required.

So unless the rebuild of this turbo cost you in excess of $2K, I doubt that it is a BB turbo any more.

You should also quote what the shop told you about what power capabilities it has and what boost levels is it safe for.

saying that it now uses a larger siera wheel doesn't really tell us much.

Exactly, generally you pay an easy $500 more to get it BB hi flowed than bush. Bush is the cheaper way to go costing upto $1,500 for a hi-flow.

In reality terms, i havent experienced a bush hi-flow!! But it maybe good.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
