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!

Bobby.

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 ;)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
