Seriously dude. There are 3 topics that get covered over an over.
What are the first mods I should do
What clutch should I buy
What's the difference between 7/9/5

Probably would have been better to just point me in the right direction :) would be happy to follow a link to the answer and delete this thread.
-5 and -7 very similar and the most responsive turbos for a street car. I think -9 make a touch more power. -5 make a fair bit more but are considered laggy on a stock stroke rb26. Check out the rb26 dyno results thread.


Cheers mate, I know what the difference is in terms of power and lag, was just more curious as to what the numbers meant as in corresponding to the certain size of something :)

Just the number Garrett decided to stamp on the end of them. There is also a -10. Doesn't really mean anything. If you look up the wheel size specs for each of them, that may give you a better idea of what the differences are. P.s don't worry about Hadouken, he drives an EVO. Sad state of affairs there. Lol.

Cheers mate :) appreciate the info. Hahaha I see [emoji16]

It's more like:
-7 are like N1 stock turbos. Nice upgrade with not much change in spool capable of running more boost reliably.
-9 are a step up from here but don't come with actuators so end up more pricey than -7 or -5
-5 are pretty serious turbos and come with the resulting lag (5k rpms start powerband)
-10 should not be used IMO. Way too much lag and much better other alternatives.

Streetcar that will only see pumpgas -7 all day.
Streetcar that may turn boost up on E85 -9 with good aftermarket high pressure actuators
Race or track car looking at 500+ whp (or a stroker or RB30 car) -5s.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
