i have a squeak too (well more of a slight whine like something rubbing) and it wasnt what i originally thought it was :D

i thought it was one of the fan belts rubbing against the cam belt cover as there was some wear on that.

but i got the cam belt and the cover replaced (my first gift to my car) and it wasnt that

it only happens "sometimes" when i turn the car on and idle it. and sometimes when i'm idling after i've been driving it.

never during driving :banana:

the engine fan can make a howling/whining kinda sound when it starts to fail. i did a quick search, check out this thred it might be able to help you out.

i'll check that tonight... but i have a feeling it might be one of the belts in the front slipping slightly. might get them replaced ASAP and see if its still having a 'whine' at me :) haha (does that mean my car is female? :( )

Well, I did the bolt bit but did not pry the seals out, just took springs off, and inox. I tried to get the seals out but was worried about stuffing them. Will get one from Nissan, then got to bearing co. to get other three. Cheapskate!

Just an adder, had a bit of trouble getting the bolt back in. Used stiltsons to twist to help line up then bolt was easy fit.

Still "sqeaks" a bit.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
