Hello all,

I need help identifying my turbo, its stamped Garrett a/r .53 1-2

I've done a search for a while and have come to the conclusion they're not stock or N1's.

The turbo itself is fairly small and looks similar to:

Any help in identifying which turbos they actually are / possibly could be, or any information would be much appreciated.

SNG. :P

I think you will find they are stock units from an R34.

well the turbo in the pic you posted is a stock 32/33 GTR turbo (.42 A/R) i don't know much about 34s, but i guess it's possible they had .53 A/R compressor covers.

edit: they are definately not an N1 i've ever seen though as they all had either .48 or .60 A/R comp covers with a .64 A/R turbine housing.

Sorry guys i probably confused u with the photo in my first post, i put that in there as my turbo looks similar to that, its not an actual photo of my turbo.

The best photos i can get are below which u really cant see very well as there still on the car, and its taken with a camera phone so its not the best quality or angle.

Can anyone confirm if they are r34 turbo's?

I cant seem to find any info on an a/r .53 spec turbo. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the help so far! :)

So were agreed they are turbos from a r34 gtr?

Whats the max boost i should run these at seeing they have a ceramic exhaust wheel, 1bar? I assume they're prone to shatting themselves if run at sustained high boost pressures?

Anyone know maximum flow of these turbos?

Cheers! :D

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
