Hey guys,

Pretty much as the title spells it out, I get two random turbo noises from my car. One occurs under hard acceleration and it sounds a bit like it's rubbing, it comes on instantly then backs off straight away but it's a funny twangy sound to the normally smooth whine.

The other, which I have a video of occurs when the throttle is released after accelerating. Sounds as if the turbo whines up and then down and it gets noticeably louder, try to listen in the vid when I come off the power... Is this normal?

Cheers

Nick

Get on to Jetwreck... He can save you.

Edit, its either highflow time, or I have a stock turbo here if needed.

Great... Something that can be claimed under warranty?

Warranty won't cover the full value of labour & rebuild. Better off doing it properly, and going with a proven replacement.

Ah FFS,

Can't exactly afford a turbo replacement and a tow truck to Sydney... Might risk it and get it home, then I can deal with getting it sorted out. Anyone had experience with turbo's going and getting warranty, kinda new to both games.

Jet wreck what can you recommend as far as getting it fixed/replaced?

  • 2 weeks later...

The car is getting sorted out on Wednesday. The dealer I bought it from, Nagoya, have been extremely helpful in making arrangements for a warranty assessment and the subsequent turbo rebuild, and hopefully it should be sorted in the next week or two.

Cheers to Jetwreck for the advice!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
