I do have a GT2540, but my friend still has the stock turbo and his motor does the same sound, just not as loud.

Stock gearbox too, only mod is a shortshifter and nismo clutch & flywheel on the drivetrain.

Oh and BTW, I want your rims ahah

Hmmm... Interesting...

I was gona say worn out rear diff LOL! But no... Thats more of a "whoo" sound

Might have to ask afew tech heads on here.

LOL! Thats not my car in my signature. I have Volk TE 37's and no rear spoiler.

Yes Nismo LMGT4's are nice and I want them too! Hehe!!

some gearbox set ups can sound like a supercharger......

the Supra JZA80 6-speed Getrag can actually have a spooling whistle...

but the sound you hear in the video, is definately the turbo.......

my guess is the type of low quality video camera used..... ....

video cams can make things sound different than to the real thing

Yeah, it can be hard with those kind of sounds, a mate with an EL XR8 had a gearbox or diff whine sort of like that, my old VN had a REALLY loud supercharger type noise due to the clutch for the aircon being stuck on permanently, and like I said before, turbo gasket with a piece missing started it in the R32 (though when that happened, it was also extremely laggy and the noise seemed to go away on fullboost).

It's not straight cut gears or something modified in the gearbox like that is it?

^^Yeah bozodos thats what I was thinking of as well... Square / Straight Cut Gears in the gearbox...

I remember hearing a VN Commie when I was living in Ballarat and the car looked stock but we heard this "Whine" and a friend said to me it sounded like Square / Straight Cut Gears.

Guys, do some trouble shooting..................

Can't be diff hey, the noise is there while the car is stationary.

Can't be gearbox hey, the noise is there while he's got the clutch in. Certainly sounds like box but he's got that clutch in.

Can't be turbo as it spools up matching engine rpm, just like a supercharger and NOT like a turbo.

So I'm thinking power steer pump

waterpump

Gates timing belt

crook tensioner/idler

Whatever, I wouldn't be thrashing it like that until I'd done some simple checks.

are we talking about the wirring sound on idle? cause everything else sounds normal. if it is the wirring sound my bet is its an aftermarket timing belt.

My car makes the same sound though not as loud even though I used a genuine timing belt for the 100k service. I can really hear it when i blip the accel.

but i agree with grigors diagnosis

I'm talking about the "supercharger" sound the car makes while accelerating. You can hear it clearly at 0:50.

It's not turbo spool, cause you can hear the turbo spooling and it's not this sound I'm talking about.

HAHA yeah i know the one (00)Skyline(00), happens a lot on V6's! Mine was an 8 and different sound to that in particular, you could hear it at idle and the sound increased linearly with the revs. It was also a deeper whine, more like a Gilmer belt drive.

in that video, it sounds like it goes away when the clutch is in and then comes back when it goes out. But then it appears to do that in neutral as well :S

Thinking about it, a mates Passage sounds a tad like this too, it also has a HKS Turbo.

The only cars i've heard with straight cut gears incidentally (all WRX's) kind of make a TIE Fighter like sound, which that is not. I could be wrong though!

ok .. updates .. car does it when clutch is not in, in gears or neutral .. but when I press the clutch, it stops ! Gears, are kinda harder then my old R32 to put in. So.. aftermarket transmission ? Or simply the nismo clutch & flywheel thats does this sound.

It does the same exact sound as this car

Sounds like I have a dogbox on my car .. woot ! I now need to change my changing gear method.

Updates .. looks like I can't change gear without using the clutch like a dogbox would. Tried this, full throttle, lno throttle, change gear, full throttle, didn't work at all...

All I know now it that the sound goes off when I press the clutch.Would a changed gear set with syncros do that sound ? Does a straight cut gear exist with syncros ?

i think you'd somehow notice a dogbox.... probably around the time you paid $4k more than you were expecting and the previous owner said "that's because it has a dogbox"

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
