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"

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
