After driving up to Bathurst over Easter weekend with a friend he was concerned about the whistle/induction noise.. i told him its fine and most/all do it?

is this correct? does everyone who owns a m35 make this noise??

he has since spoken to a reputable jap wrecker (who works with his race car) who has told him its a very very common problem with the m35 having the induction pipe cracked? (i think he said induction) thus creating this noise? could this also be the problem to the fuel issues too?

it is the turbo as it gets older. It gets louder the older (more worn out) the turbo is.

It only makes this noise under positive boost.

Haven't really hear of any induction pipes cracking and I suppose that the bit he is referring to is the narrow cast pipe that goes from the elbow to the turbo.

Shouldn't be a problem there.

A split in the rubber or a split intercooler pipe would be more plausible, especially on the outlet pipe of the intercooler (gets quite brittle).

M35's have quite a loud induction sound as you know, especially from the turbo.

Changing the intake pipe will change your consumption... and not for the better if you enjoy your boost lol.

Yer i was trying to work out what he was talking about. the induction one i wouldnt think would be that bad since its not really pressureised.

it was his first ride in a volvo he was telling me it sounds like a boost leak. i said nar its just normal..

i might try hit him up again about it and see what pipe he is talking about. his wrecker was 100% sure they knew the problem and that it was that common in japan..

would love to hear a low km m35 from new or something to see what they sound like.

Thats easy, rebuild the turbo. :D

Bearings aren't supposed to make those noises but they may last ages if you can put up with it. I couldn't.

did you change your suction pipe at the same time as the high flow install?

My turbo keeps getting louder as time goes by so Andy is correct. I've also driven a fair few Stageas and they all have their different levels of noise, but it's not always the case that higher kms the louder it gets.

I can't wait unit it hits crescendo and pop she goes!

Actually, the crescendo is quite disappointing

Just after.

The intake is smaller than the stock front wheel, I went from the standard 46mm compressor to 56mm so decided a 3 inch intake was required, gained around 25kw just from the pipe.

i am guessing there was no whistle when you had the high flow with the stock pipe on the front?

mot really a whistle ......more a jet sound with the stock suction pipe!!!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
