lol @ and a few skids.

Just get the intake pipe off and check for shaft play. if its anything to worry about it would be that, and it should be excessive to make any noise.

my guess is you have had a pipe shift and its just the sound of turbulence. that OR the turbo to manifold gasket, bolts coming loose.

when my rear studs were sabotaged years back the car sounded like a hektic gum leaf surge slot whistler and then suddenly the gasket let go and it became a diesel. was silent once i changed the turbo gasket.

i have an urgent question for you skyline enthusiats! :)

My car was tuned and running perfectly to suit the old T04E turbo, am i able to drive the car with the new kinugawaTD06 20G turbo without getting it tuned for a few weeks?

It starts and idles fine.

Just keep it on vacuum and cruise conditions and it should be OK.

Don't let it start spooling up though, I've changed cams in a car of mine recently and thought it would be OK to putt around.. Never have I been so wrong. The knock was incredible, am worried ill be pulling the motor my brother just put in the car.

I saw him get tagged with that, nice looking result - 68mm compressor in stock housing is interesting... wonder if they hybrid a TD compressor on there or something funky? No wildly different to a hairbrained conversation GTScott and I had at one point

So it seems no matter what boost we squeeze into the 20G 310rwkws is all she wrote. So the lil TD06-20G has served me well for 10 years in April this year But this week she gets retired.

Whats the verdict on teh billet TD06s getting around. Have any proven they can outflow a 25G yet?

Well I have a 73HTA-TD06L2, TD06H-25G and T67-25G all with 10cm housings. That is probably the order I will try them in as well. If the 73HTA is ncie and responsive and makes good power then will happily flog the other turbos off to try and fund some tyres and track days

    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
    • It always ends with the car burning down.
    • I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).
