Hi,

Im about to buy a R32 GTR, and am not sure about what type of turbo's it has.

The owner believes that they are N1's that were put in by the owner before him.

I checked the turbo housings and they had HKS written on them, i was under the impression that the N1's were made by Garrett. Can anyone shed more light on this?

Also, should an RB26DETT drop in revs when the oil cap is off, this didn't occur on the car i am considering to buy, should i be worried?

Thanks

I think you will find that HKS are esentially the same as Garrett, i.e. they use the same components, they just have their own slightly different sizings, i have HKS turbo's on mine, but they are GT2530s, there should be an ID plate on them in the middle of the turbo (between the compressor and exhaust housing) that should tell you what they are...o and if you hear them spinning when u turn the car off for a little while then they are ball bearing :O

If they've got HKS on them they're obviously not N1's. Probably something like the GT-SS if they've got similar response the N1s.

I can't see why the revs would change with the oil cap on or off

HKS turbos are made by garrett as well, if they ahve HKS on them they are HKS not N1.

HKS GTSS are almost as responsive as stockers, 2530's are much bigger.

If it has a oil catch can and its vented it wont make any difference to the revs when you take the oil cap off.

If it doen't it should.

I think a compression test would be a more accurate and reliable measure.

Will definately do a compression test before I purchase the car.

Cool, thanks for that.

It doesn't have an oil catch can. :

Does the amount of rpm at idle effect the ability of the car to drop revs when the oil caps off? because this car was idling at 1250rpm.

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
