What would be the best 2nd hand Nissan or suitable bolt-on turbo as an upgrade for a mild modded R32? eg FMIC, 3" turboback. Estimated power?

I want it to remain responsive.

What other options for $1000-$1500

I'm thinking of a late R34GTT turbo if anyone has one but I'm open to other suggestions.

Apparently series2 R33s and most R34s have nylon compressor and ceramic exhaust wheels but I've read the very last R34s have alloy compressor and steel exhaust wheels.

Can anyone positively confirm or refute this?

I've been told late R34 GTT turbos have a steel turbine wheel instead of ceramic and are the pick of the OEM Nissan turbos for the R32.

thats an R33 and looks like steel to me.. just grab an s1.. they're much easier & cheaper to find than R34 turbos..

Otherwise you may be able to get a 2nd hand high-flow for the price you are looking... good for well over 200rwkw..

Only problem is the picture shown is the compressor, not the turbine. Turbine is the exhaust wheel, hence when they are ceramic they can fall off and end up in the exhaust/cat

Ive got an R33 T3 on mine, feels like this was the Turbo the RB20 was meant to have off the factory floor. Smoother, more powerful, more responsive. Cost me $350.00 for the Turbo and 2 days to install (I had to modify the oil return pipe to fit around the bigger turbo).

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
