mine is. easy way to tell is there'll be a grub screw which holds the bearing in place. have a look. 99% sure R32 RB20 turbos are all ball-bearing. R31 RB20 turbos are bush-bearing. i've had both.

RANT MODE ON: seems like here and nissansilvia there's always peeps who shoot their mouth off about stuff. just cos they pay a mechanic to work on their car for them doesn't mean they know anything. <_<

where is this grub screw? i'll take a photo of the relevent side and post it.

im fairly sure all rb20 turbos are the same, so if yours is stock, it would be identical.

in the middle somewhere. near the oil and water inlets/outlets. just look for a shiny bolt-head that doesn't seem to be doing anything. take a photo if you think you see it and i'll point it out

that definitely is a ballbearing cos the bush bearing ones off R31s have cooling fins on the inside of both housings, and the core is thicker than that.

hope that helps, good luck with the sale.

and $150 is really cheap, i just sold mine for $250

all R32 turbos are ballbearing i know coz i have blown 3 of these babes, and cant be repaired, $150-250 is a good price for these. if u pay more u got riped...

good luck wit the sale mate

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
