Hi guys. I recently bought a R33 Skyline GTR and I love that it was so quiet inside and clean.

But yesterday I had a nail pulled out of my tyre at the tyre place and ever since I have this firetrucking horrible noise when I take my foot off the power at about 60 K's

So yesterday the very same day I hear it I took the wheel off * Front right hand * and looked high and low for this noise. I could see no sign of scrubbing or of anything being out of wack. So I spent 4 hour's looking over everything to do with steering, wheel and brakes and couldn’t find a dam thing out of place.

So I took it out again and low and behold the same dam noise came back. The noise is lick sticking something in the spokes of a bike. So again I took the wheel off and again I find no sign of any kind or rubbing or damage to anything on the right front wheel. This is really starting to make me wonder what could be wrong. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Or is there anything you can sagest I have a look at?

Apparently you moved me to the right section. Thanks

The problem with this is that I have already had the wheel off. I couldn’t see a dam thing wrong with it. The little whipper snapper that changed the tyre may not have anything to do with the sound. But I will speak with them tomorrow and see what the go is. More info on the noise is also that it only happens when I am coasting or negative boost. If I tap the power it firetrucks off. The noise does not always happen either.

I take it to the guy I get to fix my cars and he said he can’t find anything. Put it up on a hoist and him and myself sat under that dam thing for hour's and still couldn’t come up with any resin why it would make the noise.

Update.

After spending another two days under the car pocking around I decided there was no way the sound could be coming from tyre. So I took it down and though I will take if for another run and listen to the sound again. I drove the car for an hour without hearing the noise. Witch scares me a little. Becouse the noise isnt there anymore and I didnt find what it was. If anyone has any idears please let me know.

  • 8 months later...

The noise ended up being a front planitery gear set tooth droping.

Witch 3 weeks later ended up in little fine peaces of mettle floating around my front wheel drive. Witch in turn ended up with a new front wheel drive

needing to be installed cost 5500 witch was not to bad i guess :domokun:

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
