Hi, my nissan r34 skyline gtt running stock boost, now when it is in low boost driving normally it sounds like a turbo should, i dont pretend to know much about turbo charged engines, but obviously as the turbine spins faster at higher revs it will make a different noise as to low boost. But for some reason my turbo is making a screaming noise which im not sure if it is normal or not as i have only had the car for a few weeks. any help would be appreciated as mechanics want to charge me $110 for a dyno. I havent had any other problems, no knocking on idle or oil leaks etc just the turbo noise, It probably is normal.

^ my car screams, is don is good. Get your post count up asap tho - we need more for sale threads to sabotage.

To OP: The problem is probably something to do with a gasket as mentioned, or something with a cooler pipe somewhere. It honestly wouldnt be an easy job for a turbo-newby to find and fix it.

Check all your pipes to see if theres anything loose or any hoses with cuts in them ETC. Otherwise you may want to see a mechanic as its likely to be coming from the turbo's exhaust gasket. I have had this happen myself more than once and it was the gasket every time.

Turbo/manifold nuts probably got loose - it happens from time to time. If that's the case, tightening them will fix the problem, but check it asap, or the gasket will be ruined by hot gasses and you'll have to take off the turbo.

Good thing is that it's not too hard to check/fix it yourself though - remove turbo heat shield and you'll see top two nuts right away. Bottom two are a bit more tricky to get to.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
