hey guys..... there is this dam noise that has only started about a day or so ago... i was driving home at night... and noticed that the car when it hits full boost (1 bar) a wistling, screeching kind of noise is comin from the turbo area... it is most noticable when u boot it in 2nd...and gets less and less as the gears go by... i checked for leaks and so forth.... and had a look in the front of the turbine to see if the props are all tight and everything seems fine... its a really weird noise... and i am sure its either the turbo or the external gate.... but stumped/... its a r33 with a t04e garret turbo high mounted..with all the bolt on mods.... any help would be appreciated... but this sound has me sketching!!!!!... thanks guys

gaskets?

between engine and manifold

manifold and turbo

turbo and dum pipe.

see if all the bolts to those are tight (or even still there)

hey dude..cheers for the reply.... ummm the gasket for the engine to manifold is almost brand new and just had all the exaust studs replaced with stronger lock tight bolt... and that there is all lookin sweet... all the bolts are there and seem to be tightened up beautifully.... its got me stumped and im freakin it.... lol... n e other ideas??... thanx man

anyone with n e ideas what so ever.... ??... all bolts are tight...external astegate is tightened up and all... the only thing that looks wrong is an oil leak from the side of the engine (its tiny tiny tiny) and i dont think that would have n e thin to do weith it.... cause its been there for alot longer than the noise...

sounds like its an air leak. could be gaskets. Also try checking all the silicon hose joiners are tight. u say the exhaust gasket has been recently replaced, the mechanic could have been lazy and not tightened everything up

    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
