Hey everyone

Just bolted on my new Garrett G30-770 ready for tune tomorrow and took it for a test drive.

Hoping it's normal, but it's waaay more whistly than my old GT3076.

Even coming off the clutch in 1st gear she starts whistling. I checked oil feed which was fine and its literally brand new so figured it's just got more induction noise than my old turbo.

Can anyone else confirm?

Thanks

Haven't tried a G30 yet but the G25 are super whistley, though one I played with turned out that the turbo speed sensor port wasn't sealed - bunged it off properly (make sure the plastic plug is tightly attached etc) and it generally behaved quite a bit better but did get a bit less whistly.  

I've wondered in the past when I see surprisingly laggy/low power results for G series if they also have a similar kind of leak

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
