hey guys ive got a R32 ball bearing T3 turbo for sale that i no longer need.

its has no shaft play other than the natural little bit of forward to back (2mm) that you get with ball bearing core.

absolutely NO side to side shaft play, ie a PERFECT condition turbo.

only done 65,000k's on stock boost for 60,000 of that, and 10pound for the other 5,000

will NOT be dissapointed

absolutely NO cracks at all in this turbo, ie none on the exhaust housing near the wheels like most T3's have, and none at the wastegate port.

comes with actuator aswell.

in SE melbourne suburbs, and you can have a look at it before you buy.

looking for $320 ono as i want to sell asap.

reason for selling is that i purchased this for an mx6 conversion, but i have picked up a manifold to suit a wrx turbo.

here are some pictures of it, note it has a slightly polished compressor housing!

2mm is A LOT of play dude...

you sure it still works!?!?!

i know there is sposed to be a tiny bit of play but its sposed to be like 0.5mm

u on drugs mate? 1-2mm is normal for any turbo, by no means is it alot

i thought ball bearing is standard on most if not ALL RB series turbo.

as was 10psi....coz thats teh wastegate actuator is rated at.

there should be any in and out for ball bearing with no fluid ..... far as i know. my r31 turbo is ball bearing ..has no in out or any side to side and has done nearly 175,000kms

dude they are ceramic turbos on rb series not ball bearing ?

there ceramic ballbearing turbo's.on r32 and so on.

what the hell are u on about?

as merlin and a few others have already said.. stock R32, R33 and R34 turbos are ALL ceramic NOT ball bearing.

wtfs a ceramic ball bearing turbo?

why do you think the most common upgrade is TO a BB turbo like the VG30?

most of the rb turbos ARE ball bearing. then you have the occasional one that has cooling fins in between the two housings that are bush bearing.

that turbo has no cooling fins and is therefore ball bearing

by ceramic people mean that the rear wheel of the turbo is ceramic and thats why you cant run more than 1 bar without the wheel shooting off.

ceramic has nothing to do with if its ball bearing or not.

far out, some people shoot there mouth off without having any idea. All the r31 rb20's were bush bearing aswell as the series 1 r32 rb20's series 2 R32's and onwards are all ball bearing and all have ceramic exhaust wheels i believe standard!

yes sorry... i take that back and apologize... VG30s have a steel wheel which is why most people upgrade to em... unlike the ceramic RB20/25 Turbos.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
