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

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
