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.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
