the main reason those who do it here and don't care is because they change their turbos as often as they fill up with gas and 99% of the year it's parked in a garage in pieces.

I can't be bothered quoting anyone, but those who think it will or it won't instantly explode are just being retarded, Nissan wouldn't have planned the turbo to be a serviceable part so the recirc is there for the LONGEVITY of the turbo, and as GTSBoy said there are minor benefits to recovery spool time, likely negligible in 99% of circumstances. Given these are 20-30 years old now, stressing it this way *may* lead to it failing on you, so avoid the risk cause dose is f**king lame, or do it and enjoy the excuse to upgrade when/if it does.

There no telling how long mine was doing it before I bought it. Felt fine to me before I got rid of it but the guy I had look at the car was really persuasive about it being an issue. I miss the sound so I'll probably go ahead and block the pipe off again. There was a coke cap in there, I'll just shove it back in and send it. 

Here's hoping one day our cars are like the R30s or even 240Z, just sexual.

Thus I'm planning to clean up the R33 this year. Cut out all the rust, weld on very subtle flares to fix up my baseball bat rolled guards then open door respray the piece of shit.

Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook has really driven up the price of the once VN priced R33.

    • Did a conversion on my rb20 with rb25 cam and pulley, controlled it with a solenoid (forgot the port diameter of the solenoid)  and made an oil port on the cam cap to lower pressure in the journal. Difference  is day and night, the rb20 isn't dogshit down low anymore, not a powerhouse but this had add much welcomed torque down low. Boost build a bit sooner and torque rise way more when it start building boost. Only need to deactivate the VTC past 6500/7000rpm.   Knowing how it help with only 2L, having it on 2.6L it should be a mod to think about early on as it gives a lot of performance on most on the rev range.
    • https://www.nengun.com/hks/valcon-rb26-v-cam-system   no controller but most will use ECU to control anyhow
    • Not too sure, the throttle body has 4separate plugs going to it. Im not sure if the throttle is driven by cable and the motor is for traction, cruise and something there light blue one is TPS. i don't understand why the throttle won't open with the cable until about 3/4 on them only moves the valves very slightly
    • There are other crowds doing 25Neo conversion kits.
    • Not familiar with that car at all....but that code is for the traction control. Does it have a 2nd throttle in series with the first, like the R34 Neos do, to make the traction control happen?
