What went bang?  Find the cause of the fuel smell?

Lucien.

nothing's gone bang (yet). When I'm on boost above 0.5bar or about 50% throttle my turbo screeches like no tomorrow, Nath took a quick look at it last week and confirmed that it was the exhaust manifold gasket as well as the turbo gaskets. I've got some other crap to deal with too unfortunately (car's still running really rich, only getting 300kms per tank).

My car is exactly the same, except the whistle/screech is more evident at low throttle and once warm (metal expands closing gap) goes away. Already gone through replacing it once: time to do it again shortly :):rant::) (horrible, horrible, horrible job).

PFC on the way too... weeeeeeeeee... hopefully get some decent economy soon!

sounds like a similar problem to mine. at about ~7% throttle (looking at the avcr), i get this high pitch whistling sound which really shits me

not sure what it is :)

Most likely a gasket, probably on the exhaust manifold (they warp over time from expanding/contracting). Usually it means you have to get the flange resurfaced and new gaskets.

Up side is it should be easier with a single turbo setup (rather than the GT-R's nightmare).

    • I have recently fitted a Nismo GT Pro Center second Hand buy still in the box i got stubs with it but they are 5 bolt and I need 6 (3x2) I was told by Just Jap that for a 4:36 ratio the stub axles are equal length sku 38220-0V161. They didn't have any in stock but I picked up the ones pictured. The one with 5 bolt are the ones that came with the LSD. The right side went in no issues but the right....I have happened the fk out of it put it in a press and it still sticks out about 5mm too far. It was sticking out about 25mm but after bashing it like Chris Brown did to Rhianna I managed to get it a bit further in but seems stuck again now. Any ideas? Should I just leave it 5mm out and send it?        
    • Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".
    • The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures. 
    • Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.
    • I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it
