hello, i just got my R33 BNR33 and it is slightly modified with fmic and hks bov, lighten fly wheel, racing clutch and fuel injectors. I am a newbie to turbocharged car and there are a few questions that i need to seek advice from the nice people here. Below are my questions, would appreciate if anyone is kind enough to answer my questions.

1)I do not have any aftermarket oil pressure, boost level or oil temp metres on my car, can someone enlighten me what are the normal value for these readings on the R33 dashboard?

2)I installed an IES GSM alarm on the car, ever since then my turbos are giving some sort of a grinding sound whenever the rpm is below 2k. It sounds like the fins are "spinning and gridinng on something". It sounds normal at higher revs(3k and above). Is this normal?(The sound is most noticable from 1.8k to 2.8k rpm and pick-up seems to be slow, at 3k boost everything is fine and i can feel the boost)

3)what is the stock turbo for RB25DET?

4)What kind of metres should i get for my skyline?eg:voltmetre, boost meter,oil pressure etc (not for show offs, just want to make sure my car is healthy)

5)when they say change their fluids, eg: brake fluid, oil fluid, lsd fluid, bla bla bla, what kinda fluids are there to look for?(sorry, complete idiot here)

boost: at the line between 0 and +7 at full boost (+7 = 1bar = 13.8psi)

oil: around 3 on the standard gauge when warm and rising to about 3/4 way or 7 at high rpm and quick rising rpm.

stock turbo is T3. good for 12psi max.

main thing to have in ur car would be boost only. keep and eye on boost spikes if u up the boost.

fluids to change would be oil, transmisson, power steering, brakes too. only when necessary. service the car regularly with the same mechanic and hell be able to keep an eye on what is needed.

with regards to ur grinding noise, its got me stumped. if it was the turbo it would have blown if it was rubbing on the housing. grinding noise could be a rubbing tyre on guard liner or soemthing more than a turbo issue. get a workshop to look at the car. one that understands turbo's.

Mate if you dont know what the noise is. get it checked out asap. the way you describe it, its hard to pinpoint what it is. im guessing it may be from the gearbox, or your turbo is stuffed.

The oil pressure guage on the dash in a lot of skylines is very inaccurate. I recommend buying boost guage, oil pressure and oil temp. water temp if you want but the rest is for people trying to show off to their passengers.

as for fluids, try doing a search on this site to see what other people use in their cars.

grinding noise sounds like what i have between 2 and 2.5k rpm one every gear

its related to the driveline somewhere but don't know where exactly, either clutch or gearbox is my guess but a few mechanics have heard it and said its not to worry about.

Boost feels better at 3k coz thats when the turbz is starting to get a move on, under that and it feels gutless

I'm taking a stab in the dark and say he's hearing the really high pitched squeal noise. And it occurs not on boost but rather in vacuum at a certain vac point.

It sounds kind of like microphone feedback.

If its this sound your hearing, don't worry about it.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
