Hi.

I desided on a GT4094R from garrett. I have just recieved it, and first thing I noticed when turning the wheel was that there was alot of up/down movement on the axle.

When measuring it there is about 0.4mm up/down movement. Is this normal?? Seems to me that is alot? This is the bigget turbo I have had, so dont have expirence with a larger turbo. But on my other ball bearing turbos, also from garrett, there was not that much movement up/down. My last was a GT3076R, and it had basicly no movement up/down. I did not measure on the GT3076R exsactly how much so cant compare.

Thank you.

dont fry me for this but often i see these posts of "have you tried searching?" etc, wats the point in having a forum if everything has been covered 10 times and we're not allowed to ask the same questions? So what...maybe this has turned into a database where we no longer need forums.

Not bashing anyone particularly you Nismoid, you're a wealth of information and alot of what you have posted up on these forums has helped me pllllenty, i just dont understand why it matters.

I see it as doing those who take the time to post as bit of justice/recognition for it.

Like any source of information, the easier and more focused it is, the better it is.

If someone searches and posts questions in an older thread on the same topic, more information, easily located.

Plus quite often people take 20-30mins in larger posts, going digging over the net for links/info for users that might not otherwise be as skilled/know where to find it... Often people are not going to post the info up countless times, why should they? They took the time once/twice/thrice... surely they shouldn't a 4th/5th ;)

If I may offer my opinion from personal experience (like you have a choice)

I actually don't mind answering a question for somone when I have answered it previously. It's what we are all about here. To provide as much information as we can to as many people who ask.

What annoys me, though, is when people post without thinking or without putting up the details of their vehicle.

Also stupid questions get me. Some of the content coming through here is rediculous in the last 6 months.

On the other side of the coin, though, you have to look at it like this: The more separate threads people create, the harder it is for people to search for what they want.

If everyone searched from the beginning, then they wouldn't need to ask the question snow because everything would be in easy to locate positions.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.

      Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
