Thats what ball bearings do when they fail.

I have to listen for that bearing noise all day at work, bloody bearings. Thats half the reason I went for a bushed core for the rebuilt turbo.

hmm

thats starting to sound like a possibility... wish i bought that warranty now...

its so wierd that it groans and resonates when under load and half throttle but under full throttle it kinda goes past it too fast to make the noise.

I doubt you'd like the warranty.. used car warrantys are a crock of shit really..

my friend had to replace his gearbox on his 180sx.. i could have got him one installed for around 600 including a reco box..

he ended up having to pay about the same.. on top of his warranty (which only covered a small amount). and couldnt get it done at a place he wanted..

As for my noise.. i am sure its only the ac.. seems to be fine with it off.. i am up to the 100,000 tho..

it's the turbo!

I tend to agree with Jetwreck here Wil. Sorry mate.

Better start saving up ~$2k for a GCG highflow (or a little more for a GT-RS) so the money is there when you need it!

Dunno if you are aware, but the OE turbo's were a factory replacement item at 100,000kms or earlier.

Pretty ridiculous I know, but that is what Nissan elected to do. Why they would not use a different design is beyond me.

in NSW by law they have to supply 3 months warranty with the car. im not sure if thats only if its registered. but check it out before you go buying a new turbo!

its so weird this problem just 'happened', it was perfect to drive!!

I'll check it out...not sure if the warranty is statewide. is a bit of a shame you didnt pick it up but its not that easy to replicate the noise so I totally understand. I doubt it will die any time soon but it's an annoying noise!

It's at Nissan right now, dont think they'll be able to figure it out...

Hmm High flow... Will a CGC high flow spool up earlier or later than the standard turbo?

I dont want it any laggier than stock.

Will it also mean I need to get it tuned so + $ for emanage or some other computer?

yeah look into it mate!

have a search around the stagea forum for people that have done this mod. i dont think youll find its laggier, if you do, it wont be by much

and no you can happily run it with the factory ECU. unless you want to start upping the boost and doing some mods, then a copgyback or a remap is probably worthwhile!

Guys, I'm now experiencing this same problem and after reading this entire thread, seems like a few have experienced this issue but no has seem to pin point the cause? I've done fairly low Ks on mine, about 70,000 so I'm surprised that the turbo has let go already...

Any other feedback?

Cheers

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
