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.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
