ive been listening around my engine bay intensely recently as theres a strange scraping sort of sound going on. the front end bearing of my gearbox is very worn so thats making a noise but there seems to be a scraping sound coming from near the turbo area.

its sounds like the wheels are scraping against the turbo housing. is this realistic? the turbo still spools up well and theres no loss in power... could this scraping noise not be the turbo? its driving me crazy!!

as macka said ive got a t04. i swear the scraping sound is coming from the turbo! but their appers to be no side effects, and when you stand over the engine bay and rev the engine it goes away... i really dont understand. macka mayeb you should swing by a have a look hehe:burnout:

have u leaned it out the turbo by running hi-boost and not having enough fuel?

if so, you have probably melted your turbine wheel and caused the turbo to go out of balance which might be causing the exhaust wheel to hit the housing.

check the shaft for any movement (in/out & left/right) from the compressor side, or get it checked out by a turbo specialist.

good luck.

nah i havent leaned it out that much

im running 12-13psi with a bigger fuel pump, and AF's around the 10:1 mark.

i might get it checked by a specialist... i dont know if im being paranoid or not though, because sometimes i hear it and sometimes i dont. also the front end bearing of the gearbox is gone and thats making noise around the same area so im not sure...

if it was scraping against the housing would it

a) be loud

B) occur under all conditions?

Hi dude,

My standard R32 turbo started doing the same/similar thing the other day.. It makes a squeeling/scraping noise only when the boost starts coming on (around .5 bar)

I'm taking mine to the mechanics on Wednesday 16th (if it lasts that long).. They said perhaps the exhaust wheel is unballanced or missing a "vein".

It's slowly getting worse i think.. :);) *tear*

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
