My 32 has a loud high pitch scream comming from, well I thought the turbo, orig, I thought it was the belts, factory ones were cracked and hard, changed belts to bosch items, but noise continued, it at first only happened under big loads at 4500rpm foot flat but now screams at lighter loads 3800rpm 2/3 throttle about 5psi, I can still get full boost with hardly any throttle without it, it is definately boost related. A friend however today told me that it could also a split in a plumbing joint, has any one ever heard of this happening before?

If it was the turbo but, and i am still getting boost what would it be bearings? I just read a fast fours mag artticle about the bbearing r33 turbo and they recon the bearing unit is pretty good, Quote "should out live the engine". I don't have a turbo timer yet but always give it 3-5 minutes on cool down after a flogging.

Yes, had my boost guage reading from the plenum, mabye should have set it up on the wastegate actuater pipeing as i think their is pressure drop through all the intercooler plumbing and the actual boost at th turbo's outlet would have been more like 15psi which is apparently too much. Also the cheap style boost control valve i'm ussing can give boost spikes to 15.5psi my guage.

Mine is due to a japanese man filing the front tip of the turbine...

Aparentlly they do this for rice factor. The air rushing past causes a very high pitched turbo squell.... I have had mine now for 12 months running 10psi and have had no turbo trouble and many have said it will let go soon.

I will drive it til it dies... Or i win lotto

It was the turbo, Just went out for milk and came home with no boost, recon my cat is full of ceramic exhaust turbine blades, Just for reference was running 14 psi at the plenum apparently to much, still lasted for 3months. Time for something bigger.

r u getting a new turbo? or r u just going to get a steel wheel for the exhaust side and get it repaired?

did u have the car when it was on stock boost? or did u buy like that? and if u boosted it, then was the car running well on stock boost, cos i'm planning on leaving mine on stock boost for a while, until i either change the wheel or the turbos for something quicker, also when u fix it can u post up how the engine runs, cos another post here says that shit can get into the engine and kill it.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
