Hey I was set on getting a set of r33 GTR N1 Turbos from somone on this forum who sells them brand new fully rebuilt inside for 1,800 and as i was at this parts shop yesterday i asked him about a matching pair of turbos he had sitting on his back wall and he told me they were R32 N1 turbos so i asked to have a look and they look in mint cond been cleaned out and look to be almost new he told me they had just come from japan and he offered to sell them for $900

Im just a bit confused because cheaper am i going to get the same power is there that much of a difference in the R33 brand new built one compared to used ones that are in still excellent condition will there be that much of a power loss?

Im leaning towards the 900 ones but i wanted to ask for peoples opinions before i did just looking for some advice thanks guys

Without pulling them apart - you do not know they are in excellent condition

Other than that, one set if markedly (15yrs+) older than the other. Not real difference

Hence the price vs the price of fully rebuilt ones

I know what i'd be choosing, especially because you didnt wanna be paying $800 to have them swapped in the first place... imagine having to pay that twice if they fail!!!

wtf? i never siad i didnt want to pay $800 i was asking what others paid to get an idea if i was getting a good deal or not but yea thanx anyway for the advice ill think about it

I'm not familiar with the 33 n1 turbos, but the 34 n1s are a good upgrade. not too big, ball bearing cores etc.

the 32 n1s on the other hand are rubbish. 15yo design, laggy and 270o bush bearing. Stay away unless you need to use them like I do because of race rules.

I'm sure someone on here can confirm the details of the 33 ones.

oh ok dam there is a bit of difference mmmmm thanks heaps for the effort of getting that for me and showing me man i really appreciate that alot and its good to see ppl helping eachother out on the forum lending a hand to each other thanks man

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
