As the Stagea is still new to me and I'm just getting used to it, I hope i can be forgiven for asking some stupid questions.

A few times now I have noticed that if I give it a bit of a squirt the Turbo whistles nicely and everything is happy, then just as I lift my right foot I sometimes here a strange sound. I wondered if it was just the normal sound of the pressure being released? It doesn't happen every time which got me thinking that it wasn't normal.

How does the VQ25DET normally sound with a stock turbo and stock exhaust when dumping pressure?

OK so it's a bit of a stupid question without a sound clip to explain it better i know.

Usually the turbo is just on from 2000 rpm all the way and whistles away nicely all day during normal driving so i think its OK.

Maybe we should start a whole thread with sound recordings for your listening pleasure. :whistling:

Any weird noises should be checked out, the stock turbo would have been nearly silent when new. I have a good one here that barely makes any noise. I will check it out on Saturday, it may pay to search for the "cleaning the banjo bolt" threads as lack of oil supply would be one of the major factors in turbo failure imo.

Hi Chris,

Have a look at the threads where "Farting BOV" is mentioned.

The stock BOV can begin to fail sometimes, causing this sound which is almost like a shudder through the car at times.

You'll notice it gets worse over time too.

There's a few solutions; you can go OEM/Stock Bypass Valve from Nissan or a direct aftermarket replacement with the Turbosmart Dual Port (part number TS-0205-1026) and i'm sure there are a few others too.

I ended up going for the Turbosmart option and i think a few others on here have too. Fixed the problem immediately, direct fit and really no adjustment required initially, just bolt on.

One thing to note though, even in full plumb back mode the Turbosmart can sill be heard releasing the pressure but it's a standard BOV sound and not a fart!

Hope that helps mate,

Jas

Crikey you guys are good!!!

Yes it sounds like a fart an it can make the car shudder.

Also transmission crossed my mind as it can do it through boost when it shifts gear.

I couldn't get the car to do it today as it is intermittent.

Is this an expensive part? Warranty item from the dealer under statutory warranty or not worth the hassle?

Perhaps do the coke can under the BOV trick and see if the noise goes away. Or drop in and I can quickly tap a thread into the BOV bypass hole and see if it helps. Its a fairly simple valve at the end of the day.

Scotty, your unreal. Hopefully see you Saturday and we can make a plan then.

Cheers

When and where would i pop in to? PM me if you like.

Thanks

Sounds exactly like the problem Chris.

I'd try as Scott suggested to ensure it is the problem before shelling out coin on the problem.

If you do need to get one, i can recommend Boostn Imports www.boostnimports.com , Paid $387 delivered, Mick is great to deal with.

I think they might be a Trader on SAU too?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
