Thats what ball bearings do when they fail.

I have to listen for that bearing noise all day at work, bloody bearings. Thats half the reason I went for a bushed core for the rebuilt turbo.

hmm

thats starting to sound like a possibility... wish i bought that warranty now...

its so wierd that it groans and resonates when under load and half throttle but under full throttle it kinda goes past it too fast to make the noise.

I doubt you'd like the warranty.. used car warrantys are a crock of shit really..

my friend had to replace his gearbox on his 180sx.. i could have got him one installed for around 600 including a reco box..

he ended up having to pay about the same.. on top of his warranty (which only covered a small amount). and couldnt get it done at a place he wanted..

As for my noise.. i am sure its only the ac.. seems to be fine with it off.. i am up to the 100,000 tho..

I tend to agree with Jetwreck here Wil. Sorry mate.

Better start saving up ~$2k for a GCG highflow (or a little more for a GT-RS) so the money is there when you need it!

Dunno if you are aware, but the OE turbo's were a factory replacement item at 100,000kms or earlier.

Pretty ridiculous I know, but that is what Nissan elected to do. Why they would not use a different design is beyond me.

in NSW by law they have to supply 3 months warranty with the car. im not sure if thats only if its registered. but check it out before you go buying a new turbo!

its so weird this problem just 'happened', it was perfect to drive!!

I'll check it out...not sure if the warranty is statewide. is a bit of a shame you didnt pick it up but its not that easy to replicate the noise so I totally understand. I doubt it will die any time soon but it's an annoying noise!

It's at Nissan right now, dont think they'll be able to figure it out...

Hmm High flow... Will a CGC high flow spool up earlier or later than the standard turbo?

I dont want it any laggier than stock.

Will it also mean I need to get it tuned so + $ for emanage or some other computer?

yeah look into it mate!

have a search around the stagea forum for people that have done this mod. i dont think youll find its laggier, if you do, it wont be by much

and no you can happily run it with the factory ECU. unless you want to start upping the boost and doing some mods, then a copgyback or a remap is probably worthwhile!

Guys, I'm now experiencing this same problem and after reading this entire thread, seems like a few have experienced this issue but no has seem to pin point the cause? I've done fairly low Ks on mine, about 70,000 so I'm surprised that the turbo has let go already...

Any other feedback?

Cheers

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
