simon actually posted that so cheers to him aye.

But the rb30 doesn't work on a s1 one of the holes doesn't line up I tried it on mine, ended up just putting a second hand one on, the only prob you'll have with the 2nd hand one is replacing the gasket but i'd say any mech would be able to make one up like they did on mine.

haha just spoke to simon before.. sneaky boy :blush:

well I will wait to hear from titan..... the mechanic was trying Trojan as well but I'll forget about that if I can get Titans.

The radiator is fixed but it needs the WP before putting it all back together, doesnt look like there'll be enough time to fix it today now anyway :D

thanks for the offer sfrizza :)

rossco the RB30 one has an extra fin that you can't do the bolt up on but the rest supposedly fits... well obviously did for you...

I've decided to get a genuine one from Nissan, can get it cheaper than the price Trojan gave, and i don't have to worry that it's not going to fit/work/break.

Good idea Shell, I did the same, I didn't like the idea of a bolt missing on my water pump and considering it's not a 1 hour job glad I did it with the right part. I did pay $199 from Nissan but that's not too bad for piece of mind.

Nissan Part No. is 21010-21U26 - for '93 R33 GTS25t

I have a pair of genuine cam shaft seals if any wants them, mine didn't need replacing.

Cheers

yeah a bit late Steveo :( haha it's ok, i kinda needed something local anyway..

Marty, yep I'm glad I got a new one in the end too, especially as it didnt cost too much (like you said $200 was the normal price, but I got it quite a bit cheaper). I also got a brand spanking new Gates timing belt put on too... while they were down there haha

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.

      Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo.

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
