The fact they said eat a bag of dicks when I reached out to them is what pissed me off and the fact Sasha didnt bother to at least say let me check into it. No messages, no calls, no emails or texts. Then he is buying turbos and had called them 3 times ect ect. Uh, how about clue me into this ****? Wouldnt have spent another $3k+ to fix the issue.

Did you get a Precision turbo this time? I saw your pictures, it was a bearing failure. Not a FOD issue.

he has just posted

a video showing where it caught as you spun it. it would spin fine a few rotations then catch. it was very obvious it was a bearing failure. Sash is spewing BS about something getting through the filter or that Joby installed it wrong

You are gonna have some play in it. That is normal if it is a journal bearing turbo. If it is a ball bearing turbo it is not.

It's a ball bearing unit because it gets grease. A journal is oil fed with pressurized oil.

Followed you and Al's advice and got the 1.32 AR unit through Elmo, big thanks again. Now I gotta bug Charles for the oil pans to be finished up.

With Elliott. Greased turbo's have always been a money maker on repairs. After the 2nd failure. The customer usual tossed it in the scrap pile and had us install a water cooled, oil fed unit. Repairs were between $70,000 to $140,000 per unit. Depending on size and location if we did it in the field or in the shop. Nothing like spending a week at sea on a Coast Guard cutter in Feb, Stationed out of Maine.

Absolutely! Good looking out.

I ordered the CJM pan a while back and he was waiting on some materials to come in. He warned me before hand that it was gonna be a while.

And tonight’s featured special “Bend Of The River”

NissanTracker · 06-08-2021, 07:07 PM

There is a local deal for a Fast intentions exhaust with the resonated X pipe. Was installed on a non nisno though. Anyone know what is the difference in fitment when Installed on a nismo?

***EDIT***
I bought it anyways, but seems like it will be tucked in 1-2". Apparently someone was gonna pick it up tomorrow, but If I grabbed it today... he would sell it. Probably just tricked me. I do the same. hahah. Wasn't too bad though. Only used for 8k miles. no scratches or dings. Also came with the resonated X pipe. Funny.. was a young guy. Apparently this exhaust wasn't loud enough... he went with a Tomei single exit. That Tomei was painfully loud on HFC's.

(Young people... lol. He bought an 09 and apparently got a real sweet deal with lower miles. I told him he should hook up an oil pressure gauge and make sure he doesn't have the dreadful gallery gasket issue. Apparently one of his "buddies" checked the "oil level" and all was good. Try to educate the unwilling. Even after showing him pictures of my 07 nismo that had it, and the donnor motor i'm using for a TT build that had it.)
