So i find that on boost, especially in the 5krpm+range my car screams like a mofo. Its a nice sound, but I would have thought a "stock" GTR wouldnt be that screamy! I don't think that its anything leaking because the car pulls, I also know for a fact that I have stock AR.42s.

Is this normal?....

If anyone has a 32 near Preston Melb and can let me sit in their GTR for comparison that would be great ;)

it's either air being forced through a hole somewhere in your piping after the turbo/before head, or the suction is sucking some piping closed (not sure if the second one can happen on a GTR)

I'm on 14 psi, oh the only other non stock thing is twin blitz bovs. If there's any air leak, my boost pressure would be less than expected. hmmm I'll try and find someone with the same car and listen to theirs.

Last time I hopped in a Skyline with a "screaming" turbo, the turbo was stuffed.

Just be careful mate, I'd inspect it before doing anymore driving. A Stuffed turbo can equal engine failure.

Standard stuff should not be making any sort of screaming noise. the only time I've heard somethign I would describe as screaming it was stuffed bearings in the turbo core. Next closest noise I've heard was a nasty manifold leak.

either way....they didn't leave the factory with any sort of "screaming" noise

ive been hearing a sort of high pitch whistling sound for a while also, though only when on full boost (was doing it before at 7 psi, but 10-12psi atm). me mechanics thought that maybe it was coming from the turbo itself (bearings/shaft play?), or possibly from the wastegate. ive read somewhere on here a guy had the same noise, turned out it was leaking on the turbo exhaust manifold join or something. im sort of dreading its the turbo, hope it can hold up for another 6+ months.. :)

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
