1. there were no aus spec rb20s

2. ceramic and ball bearing have nothing to do with each other. ceramic means the rear wheel is ceramic, ball bearing means it uses a ball bearing on the shaft and not a bush bearing.

go ask any import place and they will tell you that most rb20, rb25, vg30 etc turbos are ball bearing, and they might show you the difference between the ball bearing and non ball bearing ones.

ok, just took the turbo out, its in PERFECT condition.

tiny bit of play in and out (normal) no play side to side.

1 bolt is snapped off in the exhaust flange though, but it would be easy to drill out anyway.

nah mate, theyre ball bearing, ask anyone that actually knows stuff about imports and they will tell you that most rb engines came with ball bearing turbos.

go down to your local import place and ask them if you dont believe me

and personally i dont think that someone that joined 4 days ago should be commenting on stuff like they know everything

i dare you to go open up one of the r32 turbos that you have there (one without the cooling fins between the 2 housings) and i think youll find that they ARE ball bearing.

the bush bearing rb20 turbos have cooling fins between the housings and have a chunkier core.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
