thanks, I phoned turbo exchange, they can't rebuild ballbearing turbo's

Nobody can. You need to buy a new core. which is almost as much as a new BB turbo

okay, I got this info:
S14 Black top - 1994-98 Silvias - Variable Cam Timing aka VTC was introduced on the intake cam (Garrett T28 journal bearing turbo for Australian and European markets and Garrett T28 Ball Bearing turbo for the Japanese market)[1]

I still have the original european motor in my car, is there any chance of rebuilding a journal bearing turbo?

Oh, yeah that's not a BB turbo. I paid R350 for a re-build kit a couple of years ago. they cant be much more now. But surely any Turbo place can rebuild that.

Well I highly doubt its a BB turbo. They only came on Spec R S15's iirc
