Hey people,

I have a problem with my car (R32 GTS-t) - It's not really posessed, that's just a joke. But I seriously thought it was the first time this happened.

If my car is cold (and I mean cold, like when its 7am and the windows are still frosty), and I turn right (slightly hard - not throwing it around - usually roundabouts set this off), I get a loud... 'screaming' noise coming from about where the ECU is located.

That is, a high pitched whistle that is quite loud, and most of the time stops when I straighten up, but a few times has persisted until I turn the ignition off and on again.

Is there anything to do with the HICAS in the left kick panel? Could this be the ECU?

I'm expecting jokes back but thanks in advance for any ideas on what the frig is causing this... it freaks my girlfriend out to no end...

Cheers lol!

Maybe a loose belt - power steering? Though usually that will scream as the engine starts. Maybe next try with the windows open to get a different perspective on if its inside or outtide.

maybe your girlfriend is screaming?

lol

on a serious note, i had a similar problem when turning the steering wheel when stationary on a cold start, on a different car, but mechanics are similar... check your belts and fluids

Thanks for the suggestions guys :D, The fan sounds like the likely culprit, it's definitely inside the car, and I usually always have the demister on on cold mornings. I'll take a closer look next time it happens.

Cheers ;)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
