The R34 housing is noticably bigger than the R33 one. I've had them side by side and photographed them for the forum but the pics have been lost in the migration.

That's why when you lot all started crapping on (:P) about VG30 turbos I pointed out that the R34 turbo also has a bigger exhaust housing which is why I got 228rwkw from an AUTO at 12.5 psi.

How do you know? And have you replaced it?

I am pretty sure because it has happened to other people before with R34's and I took notice. Then I spent an entire drag day deducing the problem. It was fine for one run but then do a second without 20-30 minute cooldown and the power loss was dramatic.

I have replaced it but not really tested because it doesn't really happen on the street. Only on the strip and down the straight on the track.

i managed to locate a vg30 single turbo and it is now down at gcg along with an r33 turbo getting the hybrid hiflow done. im interested to see what sort of power i can expect from it, im aiming for 250kw so will update when time comes.

got the turbo back now and it looks good,its amazing the difference in exhaust wheel size in the standard turbo to the hiflowed one.Much larger im eager to see how it drives and boosts so in afew weeks when i get my car running will let u all know

well i finally got the car going with this turbo setup although i have rebuilt the engine, got cams now etc so not just the turbo upgrade which makes it hard to note the difference in turbo response etc plus im still running the stock cooler and ecu at this stage as funds are not in my favour. Turbo duz feel nice although im only running stock boost and the car is definately faster that before with the stock turbo and running 13psi. just gotta eliminate stock cooler, ecu, dump pipe and injectors and i will be able to put a power figure down

it is IDENTICAL in every way shape and form.

I've had them both on my desk and measured every part of them and they are the same.

Don't go telling everyone and all the wreckers, or the prices will go through the roof again.

Are you hi-flowing your stock turbos with a VG-30 BB or a Garrett hi-flow.

I have these mods in my car now and which of these other mods do you think I should get or add first.

What I have now.

1: POD

2: TM duel boost control

3: Split Dump Pipe

4: Exhaust from Turbo 3" tip

5: A cheap FMIC

6 Apexi PFC W/HC

What do I need in addition first

1: Walbro fuel pump

2: Fuel reg

3: Z32 AFM

4: Injectors....which are the very best for a 1996 GTS-T SII?

5: cam and which kind and the benifit of them, exhaust and adjectable...why them and which brand is best?

I understand a lot of these questions may have been answered before but I have just arrived in Australia, so all your help is so much appreciated.

1: Walbro fuel pump I don't trust them. There are other options.

2: Fuel reg No.

3: Z32 AFM Yes.

4: Injectors....which are the very best for a 1996 GTS-T SII? Some Nismo 550cc ones will do.

5: cam and which kind and the benifit of them, exhaust and adjectable...why them and which brand is best? Adjectable? I recommend a pair of Tomei type b Poncams.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
