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"

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
