Hey guys, just got myself a 99 S2 Stagea and i'm pretty sure the ex manifold to turbo gasket is gone, its stock as a rock and on full boost you hear a screech its not metalicy like a turbo but def sounds like an exhaust leak, performance doesn't seem effected it idles beautifully and if you don't hit full boost sounds good too, cant be fked doing it myself so wondering if anyone can recommend someone on Gold Coast or local area to do the work at a reasonable price?

Cheers.

I had the same car, with the same thing. Spent ages looking for exhaust leaks, turned out to be damage to the turbo impellor. the out of balance caused the screaching noise.

if you want me to pull your turbo off i can for some cash or beverages

i'm down in robina

i changed my dump pipe and changed the gasket while i was there

not too hard, just fiddly and annoying

Cheers for the offer Pipster will see how I go and yeah was thinking may as well throw a front pipe on, hmmmm had my first good look at it today, pulled intaek pipes off and that and checked pipes and clamps and may well be Turbo, reckon I have a noisy lifter too :( at idle the top is a little noisy, will have to drop the oil and see what happens, does idle perfect at 850 though and not miss a beat. Getting auto diff and transfer case serviced Monday just to be sure too

Really so it's a Stagea thing? i've had numerous turbo cars inc an s1 r33 and never heard this sound although the seller of the car did say when i questioned it "oh i thought that's how they all sounded" I know the normal intake sound but this is def different to anything I have heard before I thought gasket or impeller getting sucked into housing.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
