Ohk.. i know this has been done a few times.. but i dont know what the go is as i have a gtr gearbox ... anyways the car makes a heavy whiring sound when the car is in neutral and non of the pedal are being touched.. however if you then go and put the clutch pedal in, the whiring noise dissapears... then the noise is back again all through the gears...

what could it be?

i dont think tis hindering my cars performance at all.. but damn its pissing me off... ive had the car for 3 weeks now, and its driving me batty... anyone know of a good place to pull the gearbox down and look at it and how much it could end up costing me to do this to get it fixed :S?

thanks

Sounds similar to what happened to mine..

Could either be a) thrust bearing or b) input shaft bearing..

reason you hear it when in neutral is the input shaft is spinning.. push the clutch in goes away as the input shaft slows down and the bearing stops spinning..

best bet - take it to a mechanic - doesn't have to be skyline specific.. just a normal work shop or maybe a gearbox one..

hopefully nothing too major..

thrust bearing can only be heard when the clutch is pushed in..

Have you had a chance to get someone to look at it Ruffels?

Most likely I think it will be something on the input shaft side - as it happens in neutral and that is the only main shaft spinning..

Currently i've got mine in for another look as he couldn't work out what it was the first time..

You may need to get the gearbox reco'd or looked at - is it happening in all gears than slightly quieter in 4th?.. as that's what mine does..

up like a burrrr/whuuurrrr sound in neutral... (not touching clutch pedal)... and then a sort of whine/whur sound all through the gears.. and you can hardly hear it in 4th/5th

def input shaft - happened to my gts-4 box then the same thing to my gtr box ( using vmx80 with that additive that makes it less noisey ) it is annoying but mine hasn't really changed in the 12 months i have had the box in it for. i just don't want to pull the box out or pay someone to pull it out cos its a pain in the bum without a hoist

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
