It looks like a plain bearing centre, which would be early VG30DET, but could be mistaken and would need a picture showing the opposite face to that in the first photo to confirm.

Edit: plain bearing turbo's were also used on HR31 Skyline's and Cefiro's, not to mention Z31 turbo, VLT, 280ZXT and other's i've probably forgotten...........

That's a plain bearing centre - definately not RB25DET.

Oh, Ohhh thats no good!!! how can you tell?

what do i look for to identify the difference between plain and BB centre

Cheers :)

what do i look for to identify the difference between plain and BB centre

Ball-bearing turbo's have a 6mm bolt (10mm hex head) near the water fitting (ie in the same plane as the water fitting). The centre is also physically larger, but it can be hard to tell from photo's. The absence of the bolt confirms it.

Yup, well, I bought a 'Neo' R34 turbo from a fella on these forums, it turned out it wasnt and is a S2 RB25 turbo (exactly what Ive already got). Paid $650 for the damn thing, asked for some money back, no responce.

Maybe we should name names?

yeah pretty dissapointed, i have PM'd the guy who sold it to me, I will give him a chance to make right.

EDIT he has done the right thing :) EDIT

    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
