Hey guys, I havnt been able to found out the problem yet, but when i begin to spool in my r32 gts-t 1989, it makes a screeching sound. It's not a screamer pipe. However the revious owner said i might be the hicas, although the hicas light does not come on when driving. My brother said it could also be my drive shaft? since the rubber has came off on the driver side.

Also My dash is screwed. It seems that every other part on the dash works, excpet the speedo. It is stuck on 107,880 and it wont tell you what speed your going at. It just stays on zero.

Help my out guys thanks

I had the same problem and thought it was my turbo going. Turned out it was just a TINY air leak where the BOV joins the crossover intake pipe. Would be fine under normal driving but once all the pressurised boost air was flowing it would make a screeching kinda noise out of a tiny hole.

Just had to take it off and put it back on, making sure it sealed properly hahaha.

I wouldn't think it would be a driveshaft issue, if it's ONLY happening as you start boosting.

As for the speedo, take your cluster out (check the tutorial section of the site) and make sure the big thick mechanical cable is plugged into the back of it - without it the speedo and odo won't work at all.

Thanks for the reply. Ill check the tutorial section. Before i do. Just thought id run it by you, that its only under load that it makes thats sound. If i rev in neutral it doesnt make that screaming sound. Still thinks its the bov? plus my car is bypassed the turbo so it doses.

if it was a leak in the cross over pipe like what mosquitocoils had then it would still only happen under boost as that is when the pressure is increased in the pipe and it is forcing air out which makes the noise. basically like whistling, just holding your mouth in the position doesn't make you whistle until you start blowing air out.

the other possibility which is also rather possible is that it is infact the turbo. it would be worthwhile for you to pull off the intake pipe and feel the turbo for any play. basically if you can move the shaft side to side a bit (small amount of movement is normal, but not too much), or backwards and fowards and it's stuffed.

i had the same thing under boost

tuned out to the the turbo exhaust flange nuts comming loose have to tighten them up every 2 years - tabs to hold the nuts in position are useless

only when boosting under load - at idle didnt do it

got pregressivly worse over a week or 2 while trying to work out what it was.

also check exhaust manifold bolts to the head - may have broken a stud

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
