Hi all I have a s1 stagea 1997 with a rb25det engine

It has developed a wine from about 2000 rpm up it sounds like the turbo..... its a high pitched wine

and gets worse as the rpm rises but when it is backed off it reduces in loudness buy when you rev it the wine follows the rpm

still drive-able but the wine is very loud

any ideas ?

or does anyone want to buy a stagea s1 about 265,000 km fair condition

2 months rego $3000 firm

regards Robyn

The one could be a pulley on the motor or an idler, if the whine is consistent while revving with the whine while putting the engine under load it most likely won't be the turbo. Have the car running and stick your head under the bonnet amd pull the throttle cable a few times to try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from

hi

the noise only starts when the motor is warm .... it isnt there at idle comes in at about 2000 rpm ... I dropped all the belts and its still there.... I took the heat shield of the turbo and the noise changed ...

I dont know too much about these things only what I learn on these forums .....I am 60 year old girl that likes import cars

I am near Taree nsw...

On my 220,000+km the exhaust gaskets on the rb25 went and it was similar, but basically all around noisey. Just more noise with more load. Might be worth checking the exhaust gaskets or ask an exhaust workshop to check them. The gaskets themselves are cheap, but a bit of labour

Hi

I started to remove the turbo and I found a heap of oil in the pipes.....

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
