hey guys,

got the car back from the tuner the other day, he said the stock turbo has about 15,000 klms left on it depending how i drive it. i am looking at just replacing it with a factory one again BUT i was wondering:

is there a DIRECT REPLACMENT bolt on turbo aftermarket? not a nissan one? to potentially get more power later on?

Thats crazy that they know how long the turbo will last, what are the reasons it will die?

Thats what I was thinking lol, pretty advanced to be able to tell 15000km left from the noise. Anyway in regards to your question I also suggest just hiflow it and youll have a new better than standard turbo, whats to say another stocker youll buy isnt on its way out soon aswell.

If it is a stock turbo and the bearings are already on their way out, there is no telling when the ceramic wheel will start hitting the housing and the ceramic wheel ejecting itself from the shaft and taking the engine with it via ceramic dust (GTRs more susceptible) or the wheel safely ending up in your cat converter.

ive enquired about a turbo for sale on here, and maybe picking it up next weekend. its a r34gtt turbo the op6 rear housing one, i heard its a stright bolt on swap. is that good to use? no detonation? can i just fit it and get no tune? will it run on stock boost from this turbo?

Yeah I was gunna say this how the shit could they determine that

They must have a "bearing wear detecting flux capacitor "

Hahahahahah

It's a slightly bigger rear housing on the op6 tho they have a nylon front wheel aswell apparently only good for 10-12psi tho it's debateable

U might get away with it but if it was me I'd put it on the dyno

It will work. And if you ever high-flow it you will get an even better result (they're slightly bigger than older RB25 turbos).

Yeah I was gunna say that also .

If u get it retuned with that turbo u may make a squidge more power due to the better flowing rear it will also be a lil but lagier I would think

If you are going to just whack a stock turbo on, then the R34 would be the choice, it's ball bearing and will be less likely to eject it's ceramic wheel due to age vs a R33 one.

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
