Hey guys,

Well as one of my turbos died last week I've considered an upgrade....

Someone has offered to sell me these turbos:

Group A N1.....the code is something like 14411-06U-00

R34 V Spec II

AR 60-64

5 degree cut rear wheel

360 degree thrust bearing

Steel wheels

Is there some way i can verify that they are of an R34 VSPEC II?

They've done low kms and look to be in great nick.

He's saying he wants $1000 bux.......good price?

Also, how will installing these turbos on my standard R32 GTR improve performance? It has nothing, except for Apexi airfilters and a full exhaust system.

Cheers,

Ali

From what i understand the N1 turbo's have a slightley larger turbine blade than stock giveing a small power improvement for the same rough amount of boost. Of course the main bennefit is that the turbo blades are steel, instead of the stock ceramic ones. This means better reliability and the ability to run more boost than the stock turbos.

The N1 turbo's were designed by Nismo for competition use, offering the best trade in their opinion between response and power. Their the best option for the price for track GTR's, road/race GTR's and fast street GTR's. The spool up time is almost identical to stock, but you can also run boost levels up to 1.3-1.5 bar without fear, unlike the stock ceramic ones.

With the appropriate other mods, Exhaust/IC/Fuel System/ECU and 1.4Bar ive seen a few GTR's make anything between 260KW-330KW at the wheels, depending on tune and dyno.

For $1000 id say they were a good buy.

i wont waste your time on this turbos personally

the turbos you want BRAND NEW are the garret replacements 707160-5

racepec are selling them for around $2400 new

the reason i say dont waste your time are the r34 vspec turbos are still ceramic turbine wheels and still fail and if they fail under the wrong conditions will take the motor with them (like the last r34 i built) and the group "a" are laggy but strong

the gt2560r 707160-5 i use in a light modify combo ,generate well over 500rwhp with basically no lag what so ever (have done a number of these combos now)

so for a little more money now you will never regret it later.

OK bit of confusion, the code hes given matches R32 nismo code, but he reckons that the paperwork is in fact of an R34? Anyways....

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Hopefully i get the turbos sometime today....will take pics when i get them!

Cheers

He was asking about R34 N1 turbos, but I agree with your comment on the Vspec turbos. Did a conversion on the RB25DET with a pair and the front turbine let go at 5psi. Damned ceramic crap.

The R34N1's use inconel instead of steel on the turbine wheel.

Still seems a good price for N1 turbos. The advantage of the R34 N1 is the roller bearing and the inconel turbine.

Just for interest, my turbos are steel wheeled stockies on the GTR, and they produce 260rwkw at 1bar with the stock computer so the N1 should do a bit better. While it's apart why not get some decent dumps and a set of UAS extrude honed manifolds? Of course it's more cash but the time is right.

this turbo 100% not R34 N1 turbo,couse R34 N1 turbo got separate wagste at back of turbo and R34 V-spec2 use same turbo as R34GTR,no any different.hope it wil help.

the one you got more than likely are R32 N1.not Nismo turbo.

couse Nismo turbo's code are RR580 or RR581.

just to ad to the confusion

How much extra dosh are we talking, for the dumpa dn UAS extrude honed manifolds? How will they improve performance? Sorry for the basic quiestions, but although i've owned a whole stack of imports, i really haven't gone all gunz blazing in modifying them......

LoL....that pic with the code saying its nismo has confused me now......so are they normal n1 or nismo n1.....or what not.....:S

I thiink they were called Nismo on the R32.

Take a look at www.nismo.com.au for the UAS stuff. JP is on the forum here as boosted zed and has done some posts on the extrude honed manifolds.

Thanks for the help mate,

appreciate it.

Alright cool....

still no word on improvement on performance?

Please search mate.

The topic of GTR N1 turbo's comes up all the time.

and the usual response is they arent as good as a set of HKS 2530's which are better in every area.

The N1's arent the best turbo. 32 N1's (as it seems these are) are a cheap upgrade, and will get you more power.

But get into a car with a decent set of turbos and you'll cry everytime you drive yours for overlooking it

I tried searching.

The search engine kept telling me something along the lines of "less than four characters" so i can search......that ruled out N1 and GTR. Leaving...turbos. LoL

yeah agree that the HKS turbos are better, but I'm just chucking these on as the budget option, until Jan, when I will sell the car.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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).
    • 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.
