I just installed a new OP6 highflow on my R33. I noticed it had a slight oil film on the rear housing and upon startup it started to burn a bit.

Is this normal for a new turbo?

we are assuming that you installed it yourself by the OP, in which case this is normal. but if you do indeed mean you had it installed and it had an oily sheen on it upon first inspection and smoked then just keep an eye on it and make sure that the oil lines have been done up correctly by the installer and aren't leaking onto the turbo continuously.

Ok cheers cos I'm getting some weird sounds happening from the turbo region at the moment.

They aren't consistent sounds and I cannot always replicate the noises. Sometimes I hear a faint whining noise that comes and goes and also occasionally when backing off on full boost I hear a loud grinding/chattering noise.

I am uncertain if it is definitely the turbo making the noises but I am hoping the bearings aren't stuffed.

    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
