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?

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
