:( hi all. :D:):)

this ones got me stumped.

i took my car up the old road on friday and now as soon as it heats up the normal woosh noise from the pods changes pitch at about .6bar and over(stock turbos)

its hard to explain its sort of like that to4 bearing type whine but a air noise instaid

sounds like a roofrack wind whistle noise only faster.

you can make it cut in and out by feathering the throttle holding boost at .5-.6bar.

its quite loud. its definatly a air noise,whooshy with a low pitched whistle :huh:

i cheched the front turbo. no shaft play. acualy looks like they have been replaced recently. still has the fluro green paint on one of the blades. :D

havent been able to inspect the rear one yet. due to its flamin mongrely position.

it has no air leaks or exhaust leaks. does not seem to have any performance diferance at all(no extra lag or power diff)

any feedback would be good.

has this happend to anyone after a hard drive?

hopfully il not just add this one to the list of "normal" noises.

ok. ive made some progress.

the noise started about half a day after i fitted a hks front pipe. maybe i had the radio cranked the whole time after i put it on so i didnt notice it.

but i got rid of the noise. by fitting a cat :P

it had one of those pipes on it(i know its ilegal but does good flames)

must of been turbine noise coming through the thin stainless pipe!

    • 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.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
