well... after blowing the cobwebs out of the 32 last nite... the clutchfan decided to begin seizing on and off... overrevving the fan obviously...

nipped on down to FBI to grab a new clutchfan as this one was about to let go at anytime... - got the new fan, threw it in the backseat and off we go

pullout onto the main road... 1st gear... into 2nd... *BANG*

Rezz the car only just landed on wednesday... so obviously it isnt registered yet - i had a permit though!

my friends rb25 blew up in his r32 4 door... so tomorrow im getting another permit n going up to his house... sitting both cars side by side... and putting all his stock shit on my car... then tuesday put her on the dyno for a quick power run just to see how bad the tune is and what shes making... then i drop the car off at FBI for compliance and prolly wont see her for several weeks

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      Your profile doesn't say where you are, but you can get your current turbo rebuilt by any competent turbo shop, places like Precision Turbos or GCG They can replace the core with a modern ball bearing unit and should be able to source same or slightly larger wheels to fit in you housing. Note if you change the core you may need new oil and water lines too

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
