HELP!!! NEED ADVICE

OK the car was off the road for 3 months while i got it engineered and got it registered its been on the road now for 2 weeks and all these little annoying things have been happening! Grrrr haha

All im worryed about is the turbo has gone through some weird noises since its been back on the road like whining and a kinda weird horn noise its so hard to explain it happens coming onto boost as the turbo is spooling up like a faint siren noise but as soon as it builds boost it goes away and makes a normal spool noise, ive done a search and it could be leaking manifold as the very back exhaust manifold stud is broken but its been broken for awhile and this noise happened yesterday.

the car hasnt lost any power and pulls hard still but i did notice a hot oil kinda smell after putting my foot down 2nd to 3rd boost read 1 bar still. no noticeable loss of oil in the engine bay either or blowing any smoke out exhaust

Could be needing a catch can maybe?

I will have a look at the compressor side of the turbo and see if there is any shaft play or fin damage sometime this week

If the turbo is shot would it be worth an upgrade or a rebuild?

also is it possible to get an rpm meter for the turbo? it would be interesting!!! mm watching the rpm spool would be nice

heres what the car has modifyed,

R32 GTST SERIES 2

HKS2530 turbo

HYBRID FRONT MOUNT 600 BY 300

R32 GTR INJECTORS WITH RESISTOR PACK

Z32 AFM

TURBOSMART DUEL PORT BLOWOFF VALVE HALF PLUMB BACK HALF VENT TO ATMO

RUNNING 1 BAR BOOST

TURBOSMART DUEL STAGE BOOST CONTROLLER

3 INCH EXHAUST TURBO BACK

that siren noise is air leak somewhere check all the cooler piping all the times ive had it its come from there just give it some throttle and put your hand on all the cooler connections and see if you feel air

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
