Hey guys, long time browser of these forums and wondering if I could now get some help. The car is a 1994 r32 GTR.
Not so long ago my car began making this dreaded knocking sound that I have read about over and over again. I read many threads regarding the likelihood of this sound meaning the car had spun a bearing (or was in the midst of), listened to a couple .wav samples of spun bearings and the sound my car was making is exactly the same. The car was still running and would drive fine, however I stopped driving it. I had accepted that I had spun a bearing (and the money i was about to spend)
Anyway today i cut the belts off one by one to make sure and once I cut the alternator belt, the knocking sound seems to have disappeared.
Basically what I want to know is does this pretty much mean that my car IS NOT about to spin a bearing, or can the fact that there is no more load (?) on the balancer mean that it wont make that knocking sound.
ANY ENLIGHTENMENT/HELP APPRECIATED
Cheers
Dale
