Hey all i had topic running on stange turbo noise before.

Taken my turbo out which has only been in since recondition for two drives. Found major shaft play, so much so that it's hitting both sides of the turbo with the fan. Looks like the bearing on the compressor side has gone.

NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how the f$#K can this happen after newly reconditioned?

Checked OIL and WATER and all where working perfectly.

Can this happen via impact, from postage?

Has this happen to anybody else?

Had you done any modifications to turbo?

There is no way i can get this on warranty since they came from hongkong so i need options. Where can i get another cartrage, core for turbo? GT2530 are not made anymore but does Garrett suppy these still?

appreciate any advice.

If anybody wants me to put up sound recording of broken shaft in engine just say.

:(

it was probably balanced incorrectly or not at all

it MUST be balanced to sustain correctly alignment at 100,000rpm+++

speak to GCG in sydney for a quote to rebalance a hks turbo

its probably going to be a lot, as its quiet extensive work on their vsr balancer and you may need new internals if they are shagged

reco'd by a coffee grinder?

yep hence the no return!

Well i can attempt to return but trouble + time - money saved = not worth it.

So my problem still remains, i want to just get my project on the road. How to fix, properly reco, can the bearings be replaced?

www.gcg.com.au as per pm

Thanks Paul i took the turbo there today, also to garrett. They took the turbo appart and found that the bearing had broken and there had been heaps of heat thought the turbo. Funny for two drives under two km. So not sure if it's because it was a fake reconditioned turbo (from Hongkong) or that there was a small coolent leak on the line running to turbos that didn't amount to much. Leak may have caused a air pocket not letting coolent though enough. There was coolent and oil going into the turbos. Weather it was enought i don't know.

Anybody know how to check cooling into turbos?

:rofl:

HKS definately do still make and sell GT2530s for GTR.

I rang BD4's and you can buy GT2530s again but only in twos for GTR's and 300z. No spare parts though. HKS wasn't making them for a year, but started again.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
