Its only just started in the last few months and Ive been switching and changing shit, the only thing left to change is the turbo, but before I do this I want to rull something out.

It only starts when the engine is under load and doesnt always happen

me and my mates have been looking for leaks and we cant seem to find any

I have also changed the belts but it seems to be comming from the Turbo side

I have pulled all the pipes of and checked the turbo for any play and its still like brand new no movement.

Now I put 10w40 Minerial Oil in my car as a test so im hoping this hasnt caused the issue I was a little worried at first.

Any Ideas I took it to hyperdrive they said turbo, but they didnt really test anything they just heard the noise, and I took it to another macanic and he said it is possable the turbo, But if thats the case what in the turbo is making the noise?

It does sometimes happen when it nutural but not all the time.

Also there are two holes on the turbo on the exhaust side, Dont know what they are for but I have put two plugs in one keeps falling out but I think I have this one it tight could this be where the noise it comming from?

Mine makes a kinda whistle from the turbo side of the car since i installed the splitfire coilpacks. It only really does it when im boosting, so i'm gonna assume mines turbo related - but you say yours sometimes happens on idle...

I had a chipped turbine blade (ceramic) which made a shrill/squealing noise. Only on full throttle though. Only takes a tiny little chip on a blade to throw out balance (im guessing) and cause a noise.

Hope this helps.

I sometimes hear a high pitched sound - always low revs and at a particular load point. If I push the throttle or ease off it slightly, sound disappears...

Kinda sounds like a feedback noise when you hold a microphone too close to a speaker...

Is that the same as you guys?

^ haha no shit, mine does the same too! This is bad, two annoying sounds in the same thread and my car shares both of them.

The mechanic told me its the grease used on the starter motor catches dust and gets stuck after its done its job - he said a rebuild will fix it, using silicon grease so it doesnt stick to dust.

But my high pitched sound is exactly as kasanoff described. Happened after the Front mount and coilpacks...

If it's a screaching sound when it comes onto boost I'll put my money on an exhaust leak. It's pretty common on the rb20's to leak between the exhaust manifold to turbo gasket.

If one of those bungs you mentioned falls out all the time I'll bet that's what it is.

Some guys have pulled all the heat shields off etc and have found the turbo loose and with only one nut holding it on. I had a high pitched screeching noise on my rb20 when it came onto boost and that's what it ended up being.

my turbo sounds like a arnold swarzeneger with his nuts in a vice, realy high pitched from bout 3500 rpm (full load) i just figured steel wheel plus 18psi would make this noise, could also be the fact the internal gate bleeds off, possibly your internal gate is bleeding off cause high amounts of boost to be leaking under presure past the wastegate plate, does your boost hold solid? what amount of boost you running?

My turbo also does this, a high pitched shreiking noise. Sounds like the turbine is scraping the housing or something, Only happens when you go from zero boost to full boost very fast eg on a gear change. Sounds like a wave as well, like itll do it for half a second then fade away and then fade in again. Ive got a split pulse dump pipe as well, so its possible its just weird turbulence or something.

Im assuming its the turbo being on its last legs but Ill wait for the exhaust wheel to end up in the cat before I change it.

mine does exactly the same started doing it once i put on a pod so im guessing its because of the way the air goes through the pod at that particular point causes a whistle its definatly not a problem or because anything is shagged and i wouldnt be doin any major component changes to fix it

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
