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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
