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...

    • But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me     
    • Thanks Duncan, I don't have a GTR these days mate. Gone soft..
    • Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...
    • More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.  
    • Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.
