Hi all

I have a strange whistle/Squeak at idle in my car. It is constant, and as soon as i blimp the throttle it disapears. Only occrs after the car has warmed up. I have all new gaskets and studs exhaust side.

It is hard to see where the noise is coming from, and as you turn the car off, it dies down with the engine.

No recently i cleaned my TB, and Cold start valve, and have since look at these again, but i cant find any issues with these. The engine hasn't lost Vaccuume, and still dirves fine.

Is it possible that it is a whistle from the TB or something similar.

i have the exact same problem = and the same symptoms . the it is really hard to diagnose where it is comming from . sounded like any air leak at 1st, but then it changes tone a bit . my car has been sitting for a few months with out more than a 100 meter drive which iv done like once ever few weeks.....

if i knew where it could be from id be looking for ways to fix , iv just given up.

i have the same squeek at idle goes away while driving..... not sure if its the belts or what.... sounds real dodgy when idleing and gets louder when its hot and been driven for a while.....could it be the cooling fan bearings?

Check all three belt tensions first - make sure they are not loose.

I suspect the sound is coming from the bearings on the air con compressor pully - the one on the compressor - not the tensioner pulley.

I had a noise I couldn't identify - I just got a new water pump fitted so it wasnt the issue.

So I took off the power steering pump belt and the noise was still there.

Then I took of the aircon belt and presto - the noise was gone!!

I rotated the pulley on the air con compressor by hand and it was extremely noisey - you could feel the "roughness" when rotating the pully.

Try it yourself and see.

The CAS noise sounds like a rerw rew rew rew rew.

The air con pulley noise is more like a metal squealing or squeaking - and is constant. Not pulsing like the rerw rerw rerw of the CAS

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
