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

Turbo be dead. :pirate:

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!

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
