Hey peeps i've got an r32 gtst with an rb20det. When i go to put my foot on it, it starts to spool but it also sounds like its leaking boost from somewhere as there's like a "pshhhhhh" noise and it seems like there's a little lack of power. Has anyone else experienced this or know what it could be?

what boost is displayed on your boost gauge?

do you know what a turbo sounds like?

11psi. which is what its set to. yeah this is a really loud shhhhh noise tho..doesn't sound like a spool unless i'm on crack and have got it completely mistaken..but it feels like i lose power

If you can see 11psi, then "if" there is a leak, it is after the turbo.

so being an RB, most probably a gasket leak at the turbo manifold.

My guess from this side of the monitor is that you have a bolt missing from the turbo to the manifold.

you might be able to just tighten replace and tighten it and it will go for a while longer.

"IF" there is a manifold leak, and you leave it, it will get worse as the whole in the gasket gets bigger.

eventually, it will start to sound like a lawn mower when idling.

"OR" you are most likely on crack and it's just the sound of an RB20 with exposed pod filter.

ok cool. i'll have a look. I think everyone may be right i think it is probably only the pod induction. I was just wanting to make sure because i'm selling it..i'm not the most technical minded person and sometimes i can be a bit thick

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
