hi, i am newbie here -- thanks for all the info posted. just bought a 2001 ar-x with 160k, mint condition but the turbo is whistling.

what r the best options.

how much to replace with a good aftermarket jobbie?

and with 160k on the clock is it silly to go for something with more power?

any recs for a good turbo?

can anybody in auckland recommend a good shop? also there are some suspension awd drive issues... if anybody in auck could txt me on 027 202 1996 i would appreciate it.

You may find the whistling is normal, best to find someone else with an M35 in NZ and let them hear it, it may just well be the normal noise that the turbo makes while operating.

Best options if you have a look at the turbo thread we started not long ago (it's got some good information in there) is to high-flow the existing Garrett that is on the car. The turbo is located in such a tight hot space under the bottom of the engine that not much else will fit or function there.

Jetwreck has just high-flowed his in the last few months and from memory he is now over the 100 000k mark. Just depends if the car has been looked after and you think you are going to get a few years more use out of it a high-flow would be ideal :yes:

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
