URGENT HELP NEEDED on T28 steel internals. - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

bazgtr · 5th October 2005, 04:52 PM

Need help as I bought a pair of so called steel internals from a fellow skyline owner months ago. Now went to fit them this week and found they look like standard ones

after removing the packing.

Can anyone tell me how to recognize steel internals from the standard ones.

A picture would be helpful aswell.

look at the turbine wheel (exhaust side) it should be steel and not the ceramic shite. Give it a carefull tap with a small screwdriver or something, be carefull though because if it is ceramic its very delicate and brittle stuff.
Youl know from the sound it makes if its steel or ceramic.
Perhaps someone can clarify this but i think theres a 6 sided nut on the end of the shaft if its been rebuilt with steels, ceramic has a 12 sided star shaped end to the shaft IIRC.

mate, grab a magnet and place it on the actual exhaust wheel/ shaft. if it sticks to it (like it does to the actual housing) then it is metal. if it doesn't want to stick to the exhaust wheel, then you have stock units..... I did this last night on mine (just to see if it was an accurate test) and it is a very distinct way of determining if metal or not.

Now sorted, I've been shafted.

Gone for rebuild. Thanks for your time.

I have been searching for r34 gtr turbos on Ebay , and it seems like at least 50% of the sellers are ripping people off , or they do not know what they actually are selling .

Had them back from Turbo Technics all rebuilt at a cost of £730 which included the VAT and Postage. They took a couple of days to do.

I'm giving them a thumbs up for the service.
