just a suggestion i had a strange whinning noise that i thought was the turbo lacking oil on startup would last a little while and then go away. it was like a nasty queeling noise and eventually i traced it down to the belts on the front of the motor needed some dry lube, WD40 done jack sh*t but helped me find it as its not easy to get ur hand past the clutch fan to lube it up.

dont know if this helps but anythings worth a shot!!!

Thanks for the suggestion mate, I know exactly the noise you're talking about Theo; but this is definitely appears boost related.

Basically as soon as it goes positive manifold pressure; the whine starts. It overlays the normal whine that the turbo has.

Sounds like the t3 exhaust gasket, I have had a few like that. Could be the front wheel rubbing though.

Need a replacement stock turbo? It could be a better option if you don't want to highflow...

Hmm, I don't think it's a leak; I'm going to get it on the hoist and stall it up, we should definitely be able to see/hear a leak if there is one.

Frankly, I'd be happy to stay with the stocker; but who's to say how long a second hand one will last? Are you talking about the one you were running on yours in between setups?

Feel free to PM me if you have time mate; it might be a viable option. :thumbsup:

I don't mind Lainy, I like talking to other people. With the car at my house I should be able to get parts shipped quickly, not taking 2 or 3 months like 'other' members. :P

lol.

Yeah that Lainy guy is a bit of a member... :whistling:

i got stranded today the damn battery in the key/remote went flat............ unlocked the car with the key and the alarm went off and then tryed to start it but the alarm wouldnt stop so couldn't go anywhere untill i got a new battery in the remote. very convenient when i was at the dog park, luckily a mate lived close by and we ran up to the shops and got a new one.

so for anyone needing a battery the part number is CR3020.

Hmm, I think I asked that Lainy bloke for a part to be measured ages ago, just after he got his hands on the wreck, actually. Still waiting for a reply...

Bloody Skoda drivers! :rant:

Oh yeah, I got my clutch replaced on Friday - out with the supposedly heavy duty Exedy, in with a Nismo twin-plate. Getting used to a new clutch and re-acquainting myself with driving a manual at the same time, after roughly 5 weeks of rolling around in only autos.

Saw your pics Nick; you must've been pissed to find whatever that thing was, that was masquerading as a Heavy Duty Clutch!

I'm assuming that was a workshop job? Good to see you've got what you paid for this time.

How are you finding the Nismo clutch? I was going to go for the coppermix single plate when i did my manual conversion, ended up being a bit too expensive at the time though.

Nah, I bought the last clutch myself, Dale, and had Unigroup install it.

Sourced the Nismo myself again, but Unigroup were flat-chat and I wanted my car back, so I got another local mechanic to do it, about 2mins drive and in the same suburb as Unigroup. We deal with them a lot, so I know they do good work too.

Oh, and here's the supposed "heavy duty" Exedy job - less than a year in the car:

It's butter-soft, Brian. Loving it so far! And no, it wasn't cheap, but they do come with a matching lightened flywheel which kind of makes up some of the cost.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
