well as se of the newy guys know, my car was written off last week(long strong) and in the market, went to look at one today.

Didnt get to drive it as guy parked it in his building and was parked in by 3 other cars... but when i started it heard a strange whurring sound comming from the turbo while it was cold. kinda of like the sound of a ufo hovering in a tv show(stupid i know lol)

It stopped when i revved it abit but came back when setteled to idle... and once it had warmed up stopped.

I suspect maybe bearings on the way out or shaft play??? any ideas cos im seriously looking at this car and its the only thing holding me back

Hey Dude.

You would need to hear it when the engine and oil is warm.

Mine makes a sort of a whirring sound when everything is cold in the mornings. It goes away as the oil heats up.

I have a GCG high flow.

I don't think it's too much of a problem.

If it's a squeel, it could be bearings, but a whirring could be normal. Take it for a drive, make sure it gets warm.

the fact that it has gotten rather nipply over the past few days would be meaning that the oil is a touch thinker and it takes longer to warm up. my car has started making a bit more noise on start up thanks to minus 5 minimum temps in the morning.

only just did the oild change, and i wasn't expecting it to be that cold. so it will have to wait cause i can't afford to replace 700km old oil at the moment. i let it warm up before i drive. but that minus 5 degrees is at 5 in the morning, and i don't leave for work till 8.25, but the engine does soak up the cold. i might just have to start parking the car so it get sun from the moment it comes up.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
