hey guys, had an accident last week.. got cut off on highway and hit barrier at 110km/h.. got out of it ok.. i think my air flow meter may be screwed.. it idles fine just once you come on boost it starts missing pretty bad.. almost like its actually running on 5 cylnders.. sounds like a wrx.. well a sick one! anyway i got home and let it idle for a few seconds and thought i heard a wierd sound.. so i take off the pod.. and put my ear up to the air flow meter..and sure enough.. i hear a little sound.. sounds like a bell!!!! WTF! like a little bell just ting.. ting.. etc.. is my turbo on its way out.. the car still felt pretty strong before the accident and i have never noticed this sound b4? any one know anything? any help would be great. by the way this is a rb20det.

cheers.

:upurs: nah, its funny because you drive down there pretty much any day and see all these cars that have like hit the side barrier, and its like 5 lanes and so open wide viewing angle the whole way to the GC and everything.. it makes the Monash and Ring roads in melbourne look like narrow roads so i'm not sure people manage it!

Thats some nice whoring.

I'd take it to a profesional for an opinion. Maybe pull the af meter off and havea look to see if anythings loose in there, check wiring hasn't been crushed in the inner guard if the car was an auto before the conversion.

Probably pull the front pipe off and have a look in the turb to see if you can see any chips in the blades and have a feel for play in the shaft. BB turbo should have very little shaft play.

Unless somethings fallen off the af meter then the turbo shouldn't have eaten anything though.

.. i was heading into brisbane, in the left lane and some **** head decide to take my lane.. he was going quick and there was a car ahead of him.. so he cut me off.. predator.. before you open your uselss mouth about shit you dont know nothing about go to your kitchen and get a glass of shut the hell up.. call me a fool for running into the barrier.. f**k you! bhdave, DJ_L3ThAL thanks for the replys.. ill have to pull the turbo off and check it out.

Just take the pipe from the compressed side off and look for "shiny bits" first. May save some work.

remember a turbo spins way quick so if it was interfering anywhere it would sound like a squeal

"interfering...squeal" sounds like gordo and DJ with their 14 yo :)

took everything off bar the turbo and there doesnt seem to be any signs of anything. the turbo wheel spins freely and there is no metal shavings.. there is very little play in the turbo as well.. hmmm.. but i guess when its spinning as fast as it would when i come on boost if there was a tiny bit of play it would get worse????

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
