Hey peeps i've got an r32 gtst with an rb20det. When i go to put my foot on it, it starts to spool but it also sounds like its leaking boost from somewhere as there's like a "pshhhhhh" noise and it seems like there's a little lack of power. Has anyone else experienced this or know what it could be?

what boost is displayed on your boost gauge?

do you know what a turbo sounds like?

11psi. which is what its set to. yeah this is a really loud shhhhh noise tho..doesn't sound like a spool unless i'm on crack and have got it completely mistaken..but it feels like i lose power

If you can see 11psi, then "if" there is a leak, it is after the turbo.

so being an RB, most probably a gasket leak at the turbo manifold.

My guess from this side of the monitor is that you have a bolt missing from the turbo to the manifold.

you might be able to just tighten replace and tighten it and it will go for a while longer.

"IF" there is a manifold leak, and you leave it, it will get worse as the whole in the gasket gets bigger.

eventually, it will start to sound like a lawn mower when idling.

"OR" you are most likely on crack and it's just the sound of an RB20 with exposed pod filter.

ok cool. i'll have a look. I think everyone may be right i think it is probably only the pod induction. I was just wanting to make sure because i'm selling it..i'm not the most technical minded person and sometimes i can be a bit thick

    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
