R33 GTSt Turbo making Noise

[GtstCoupe]

hi guys today i noticed that i have this metal on metal /grinding sound comming form my turbo now the car is fully stock and has done 90000ks and has been a very well looked aftercar by previous owner i have had it 2 weeks and am 1st aussie owner ,you can only hear it when the bonnet is poped up and your head right near it.

the car runs fine and boosts great.and the oil is 400ks old ,i belive it had a service at the same time.

thanks guys

is this sort of thing normal

could be the thingy that spins (i forget the terms) in the turbo hitting the housing maybe ?

Im just sorta guessing cause im bored, but maybe take off the intake pipe and see if you can move the 'thingy that spins' around.. I dont think its supposed to move around at all.

Also I had a wierd metal noise once.... When I had my new exhaust put on they didnt hookup the turbo heatshield 100% so it was flapping around abit against other crap.

ok yeah it would have been vibration ill check tomorra thanks

If the compressor wheel is hitting the exhaust housing there is shaftplay. Then it would be time for a turbo re-conditioning...

would that be common at those k's
