Price drop Turbos - $200 Pods - $200

Hi, As per the title I am selling; Stock r33 gtr turbos - Minimal shaft play only removed to fit -7's. Removed from standard car (had only pods not even an exhaust) with 98k. - $250 ono Apexis Pods - Due to chasing only moderate power I have reinstalled the standard airbox. These also come with cover as shown in the pictures. - $250 ono Any questions please let me know. Cheers, Dean

^^ Ignore was searching to specific, read the engine failure post and am now too scared to drive it

Sorry to dig up an old thread but are there many cases of the turbo failing causing engine issues? I have spoken to a few workshops, some of which are recommended from other posts, and all have said it is very rare. Trying to decide if I should limit the use until I can justify new turbos (r33 gtr with 100k)

Thanks for your help hardsteppa, I have found some leaks. Seems to be all around the IC piping so have taken the blinkers off to reach in and tighten things up, trying to avoid taking off the front bar Its booked into a workshop with a dyno to check out the problem in more detail. For the record pressuring from the pipe as above does seem to work but made a second tester with a valve stems and did it the good ol fashion way anyways.

hmmm I have been reading about the PCV. Is there a way to test if this is faulty? I couldn't hear any leak from it...............(well where I think it is)

I had the regulator on the compressor set to about 7psi (but it never even got there before the noise from the dipstick) There where some leaks down near the intercooler which I am checking out but just concerned that maybe there is a bigger problem. I took the hose of the PCM that faces the engine, that is where I pressurised the system.

Hmmm did this test and think I have found some leaks but the dipstick popped out Is this normal or have I pressurised the wrong but? Edit: reading a bit about valves could be very bad

Hi Guys, I know this has been repeated in alot of places but I just want some hand holding before I connect a compressor to my engine I have the old hesitation issue where as the car is coming onto boost (boost gauge reads 0) the car hesitates, get over that hump and all is good. I have read that vacuum leaks can cause this so wanted to check for leaks. I have done the soapy water test with nothing so I was going to follow http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/174597-gtr-boost-leak-tester-diy.html and http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/250275-boost-leak/?p=4337070#entry4337070 but am not clear on which hose to pressurise. My plan was to take of the Apexi air filters and sensors, block these both off with PVC piping and caps. Once the intake to both turbos is sealed I would remove the bottom hose (the hose on the right of the pic) off the PCM (photo attached) and slowly pressurise the system. I cant figure out why to remove all the hoses as the link on GTRUK did. My other option was to block one intake (say to the front turbo) and pressurise the other with a boost leaker tester? This may be easier Please let me know if this is daft, sorry if the answer is here but I have searched the forum and couldnt see a clear answer as to which pipe to pressurise. Alternatively if you are in the Newcastle area i would be happy to part with a case of beer Thanks, Dean

Hi, I am looking at an r33 gtr vspec is there any chance of doing a check on 6u900bcnr33007917. It is white and looks fairly tidy but getting a full check just in case. Appreciate any help. Thanks, Dean
