Ok

well this noise has been there since the day I picked up my car which should be going into its 3rd month now and the car was bought of a former forum member who told me everything about the car so I was happy with it and still am.

BUT

I have heard skylines go flying past me at full WOOT and the noise my turbo makes is no where near to what theirs makes.

I get a really scratchy, whiney supercharger kinda noise and I don't think im losing any boost coz my boost gauge (after market Apexi gauge) on full throttle is reading just over 0.5bar which I take it is around 8psi.

The only mods are a pod filter and cat back exhaust.

The noise only starts when it's past 4500 or when the second stage boost kicks in and boosts to 7-8psi.

Now I also have searched through the forums and have read to check for leaks in cooler and intake piping. But also read some where the could be leaking gasket.

If it's the gasket would the exhaust note sound a shit load louder also? Car sounds normal for a RB25DET with 3" from the cat.

Any ideas?

Would shaft play cause a noise like this? Im not getting ticking, clunking, rubbing noises just a really high pitch scratchy supercharger kinda noise.

Your help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Ash

Can you describe the noise?

my car made a real screaming noise when i boosted it and it turned out to be a leaking exhaust manifold gasket aswell as turbo inlet gasket.

If thats the case it wont cost much to repair.

If its a leaking gasket you can try this;

Good trick to test a leaking gasket is to get a thick cloth or rag.

Start the car and let it idle, then get someone to hold the cloth/rag over the exahaust, blocking it completely for a few seconds while someone sticks there head in the engine bay on the turbo side and listens for any exhaust leaks!

What it does it builds up the pressure in the exhaust, and it leaks out from the weakest point (gasket leak).

Try that, if you have trouble man, I will check it for you on the weekend when I pick up the wheels.

My cousins a mechanic also so I will get him to look at it also for a 2nd opinion, as he will be with me more than likely.

exactly what you said. it comes on as a normall spool noise then screams like a mofo. duno if you have heard a supercharger before but sounds like a scratchy charger.

god i hope its only those gaskets.

any idea on cost?

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
