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.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
