Hey guys,

Hope someone can help with a noise that's recently started up... Sort of a "zzzzz" noise, seems to be in second and third gears mostly (maybe just can't hear it at higher speed), but I think I've heard it in 1st before as well. Was thinking turbo, as odo reads 216000km and I've had it since 14000 without replacing it. No oil in the inlet pipes however... Definately seems to be coming from under the bonnet as I can't hear it with the windows up. Doesn't do it free reving. Seems to do it only when warmed up. When it starts making the noise, it goes away immediately as I accelerate.... haven't been booting it too hard since it started though... Please, has anyone got any ideas or tests I could carry out (short of removing the turbo, yet).... :(

Ive got the same noise In my GTR and had it on my gts-t. The noise comes from the gearbox and ive just put it down to my rattly old twin plate

you only get it at low engine speeds right?

Only prob is I don't have a twin plate... stock rb20det with unknown clutch... been in for the 75000km I've owned the car. I thought it might have been the gearbox too, but I can hear the box throught the trans tunnel and it doesn't seem to be coming from there... tried some nulon g70 in it to see if it would help but no change... only started less than 1000ks ago...
