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?

OK OK OK FOR ALL THE NEWBIES OUT THERE THIS IS IN NO WAY SAYING YOUR ALL DUMB ASS's

ok.. r32 r33 r34 standard turbos ARE ALL BUSH BEARING with a CERAMIC EXHAUST WHEEL

and also from memory.. a vg30 turbo is bush bearing aswell :P

any other info feel free to ask

Some of you guys are out of your freaking minds.

I have bought this turbo so it is no longer for sale.

It is on my car right now and works fine. A small amount of shaft end play is quite normal for these BALL BEARING turbos, and this one is fairly typical.

r32 turbos are bush bearing and have a metal rear and ceramic front, same as series 1 r33 turbo's, series 2 and on are full ceramic as for which ones are ballbearing? not sure, but i know r32 turbo's aint ballbearing standard, r32 turbos handle the most psi, followed by the r33 s1 turbo, fact being they have metal rear wheels and i can confirm this ive pulled shit of my car many times, ive even ran my stock turbo at 20 psi by accident for a few days and didnt realise and ran fine! lucky for my cooling, just waiting for my stock r32 turbo to die but it just dosnt seem to want to go! lol it has almost no shaft play!

but that said..

the turbo in that pic has been high flowed, it has a twin metal front wheel, its not standard looks the same as what is sitting in my wardrobe which has a $1100 highflow done to it. meaning ballbearing and full steel wheels! so u should think about increasing tthe price son :rolleyes:

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
