I would have thought when the turbo was glowing if that was the case, the compressor wheel would melt off if it was nylon as well.. but it doesn't.

I don't know what this nylon business is, I've had 2x RB25 turbos (one v3 and one v4) and neither has it .. and the V4 was supposedly S2, whereas the v3 supposedly s1 and no difference to my eyes. The rear was what looked to be ceramic, and the front steel.

All that I have seen to look different is the R34 ones.. show me a picture of a S2 with a version number and i will believe it.

When i replaced the turbo from my '98 Series 2 R33, i took the compressor housing off and literally BENT the compressor fins.

They’re hard, durable fins that bend back into place…were not talking about a great deal of movement, but enough to realize it isn’t steel.

Then took it to Kyp at ATP for a gander, and he assured me it was nylon, and then HE bent the fin in front of me for sh|ts and giggles

Its not hear say internet forum myth

I know, from my own eyes, proven fact

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
