yeah i am sure its the turbo spooling although, its not like usual, like i have the usually loud sucking sound from the pod, although now i can hear a slight whistle also. only just started happening, kinda sounds electronic in a way. and i can still hear it even when my engine is warm.

I had an odd whistle/hissing sound in my car. Took the heat shield off to investigate & found that only 2 of the 4 bolts holdin the turbo to the exhaust manifold were there! Found 1 on the chassis rail

Fixed this up & the whistle/hissing sound stopped, leaving just the sweet sound of spool up :(

When i blew my old stock turbo a while back, it made a VERY LOUD whistle sound kinda like that of an electric motor but LOUD, engine would run, but car wasn't in a driveable condition, drove like 40km/hr up to 60km max hoping that the rest of the turbo wouldn't fall apart and go into the engine..

anywayz. get it checked my friend if its not performing like it normally does,

huh?? it interferes with the radio?? maybe its just the whining in the cables of the stereo or whateva that whinning sound is, most people get it when they have put a stereo in their cars if you know what i am referring too.

Boy it must be fairly loud to here it over the pod though as pods suck very loudly, i guess if your worried you could get a mecahnic to check over things for you to be on the safe side

Should be fine. just don't want to hear the turbo spinning when you've turned the engine off. :(

Yes you do! Helloooooo super smooth BB :)

Anyways.

Our skyline makes a noise like a rusty gate opening (but urm quieter?) if you let it slowly come off boost. Just at the point where I assume the turbo is starting to slow down again you hear it. Car still makes 1bar (1.2bar on occasion, oops, yay AVCR and its super non-spiking properties) and performs well though.

i think i know what you mean and i have the same noise. i installed a catch can on the inlet manifold and the afm pipes and mounted them on the fire wall and the sound is much more audible through the car now. not too sure what it is, maybe the PCV valve opening and closing?

i can hear my turbo spinning when its cold in the mornings (when im trying to keep it off boost while it warms up, sometimes it creeps onto boost and i can hear them spinning heh)

I got the same thing, till it heads up then is normal spoolin noise. But i got 2 bolts that hold the the exhaust manifold to the head missing (dunno how) but she still spool up.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
