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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
