Spraying the turbo with WD40 will do nothing to help the situation.

Here is a potential cause.

Having a series 2 your turbo has a bakerlight compressor wheel, a very hard plastic and this could be scuffing on the housing making a squeek or high pitch squeel.

It happens because the shaft wears out and usually there is forward/backward movement in the shaft causing it to push forward on the housing or backward on the backing plate.

It will eventually explode and throw bits of plastic all through your intake soon if the noise is in fact coming from the turbo.

Or you could have a bird in there that is opposed to greater boost pressures.

Kind of like a Nissan Nazi Budgie.

If anybody watched Top Gear on Monday night and saw the actor who drove the well priced car around the circuit and Clarkeson asking about a string of 911 Porches he had owned. As they were chatting about his string of cars he admitted he new bugger all about them and on one occasion was driving his brand new 944 he had picked up the day before, realising he didn't like it he stopped off at the Porche dealership and got another 911. He couldn't tell Clarkeson what model it was and the only one he could remember was the one he was actually driving to the interview. He couldn't even tell if any of them had been a turbo or RS or wide body.

My point ? If someone knows nothing about a particular car and still can't find the time to read enough to at least make some kind of considered opinion as to how it operates then does he deserve ownership ? Of course he does. That's what money is for. I wonder though why there are no longer any genuine GT Falcons left. GTR XU1's ? E49 chargers ? Because they, (like our Skylines will eventually be) were thrashed, crashed and neglected by people who never took five minute's to learn even the basics of maintainance before asking how their engine blew up. But hey, stuff it, it's just a bloody car after all. I shall now don my fire suit. Let the flaming begin.

Some funny replies there. My problem is, i bought a turbo off someone from the forums, put it on my car a few months back cause mine was f*ked and while changing it the gasket was kind of breaking but i had no way of getting another one because it was a public holiday.

So i used the original gasket. On sunday i had an exhaust leak which sounds like its coming from the gasket between the turbo and manifold. I bought the new gasket today and since half my stuff is out i thought i would spray wd40 in there to possibly help the squeak.

I wanted to know if it would hurt the turbo NOT fix it.

Oh and whats a flange?

the base of your turbine housing bolts the the FLANGE on your manifold. your manifold starts off with a flange, the item that mates agaisnt your head....

if metal flanges remind you of pussy, you are getting some bad pussy.... real bad

I sprayed about 0.00007 cents into it. Just the fro nt wheel, then wiped the remains away when it went to the bottom. Meh, im more annoyed that one of the studs came out of the manifold.

To save me the run around and because i need my car for work asap due to my boss not wanting to pick me up everyday, where can i get a new stud and nut?

Cheers

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
