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????

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
