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"

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
