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.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
