ok cheers, i'll check on lunch break. I haven't had any whiny noise, i think it's moreso the engine just revving really loudly at the 3-4k range.

Had a look at acceleration dash videos on youtube, and they all make it 5-7k RPM whilst on boost easy. So now i'm definately convinced something is wrong :\

weird because it always seemed normal to me, and i've been driving it around for over a year now.

I think I've got an acceleration video, I'll take a look.

My 34 hasn't had much work done to it so it's near-stock. Should resemble something close to what you should be hearing.

How does it sound when you free-rev it? Same deal?

This is a stock NEO with LOTS of bolt ons, but the engines have NO issues revving lolz (Ignore the sound as if yours sounds like this then you have issues haha)

yep same deal.

i never used to free-rev past 3000 RPM because the revs sounded high, but i have been recently to the 3-4k mark to test my new boost gauge and it still sounds like engine is stressing a little bit, but the BOV goes off now when free-revving to the higher range. lol

Here's the legendary yellow turd.

Slays Mat's 34 by a mile!

I wish.

Lolz, killed me with your traction ;)

So are you saying yours sounds normal? If so, Hooray lol

oh wow your tacho rockets up. Mine definately doesn't do that or even reach anywhere that high :(

I cant hear the videos because I'm at work atm.

What camera did you guys use to record? I've tried my phone (Galaxy SII) but it doesnt work too well for audio :\

Yeah mine is pretty heavily modified so ignore that part, just showing that these engines DO rev hard and are quite strong!

Mine was just a crap phone camera OFF a videa camera lol

Ok i just took a drive to mount druitt westfield from work.

I'll let the video do the talking (i haven't actually HEARD the video because i was in a rush and didn't replay it with sound on my phone lol, so not sure how audio quality is for this particular one).

That being said, It was a slow climb from 3000 to 4000 RPM, and if i held it any longer, it felt and heard like the revs were getting too high :s

Correct me if i'm wrong and if this is normal lol.

Sounds exactly the same as mine but I didn't have my tacho in view to sight it.

Once you roll the boost up a bit more the revs climb far quicker and it feels far less laboured to get into the higher revs.

How much boost are you running?

Being a really-close-to-stock car (apart from MBC andexhaust), do the revs seem like they're in the correct range though? I initially posted this thread because I wasn't sure if my revs are reading low as compared to other videos I've seen of cars when boosting. Also the tacho does a slow rise up to the 4k RPM range.

I also am not 100% sure on what exhaust I have (previous owner didn't put it on and doesn't know what the owner before him put on either), but i'll save that for another day/thread, or might just take it to a shop and ask lol.

it sounds a struggle getting it higher but, which is why im a bit iffy. I'm running 9psi with my MBC.

It sounds exactly the same as what mine did when I was at that stage.

They'll go all the way to redline, Where you're shifting is where I would shift in normal day to day driving. If I'm giving it a nackering I'll take it out to 6.5k, No problems there.

I dialed a bit more boost into mine and when I'm at WOT the revs climb stupid quick (not as quick as Mat's).

Oh ok sweet thanks for the info and the help. I know people get frustrated when i ask silly questions haha. Takes a lot of stress and worry out of my mind.

I'll try my best to make it to the newy cruise and you can show me then, because I'm leaving this crazy island for 2 weeks to get fat in murica' :D

Have a burger or 10 for me in the states.

Would be cool to get more of us Sydney folk up to the Newy cruises, so if you can make it as well that'd be awsome. Let me know how you go.

The cruises have been pretty successful so far, seems to be a more regular thing up here now with the guys all chipping in to organise! Its great to see you guys making the effort to come up.... As soon as i get my cooling system sorted i should be able to join a few Sydney events too!

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
