Hi!

Recently I started to notice my RB is constantly having that strange noise.

When I swapped one in around march this year, it was ll mint. No strange noises what so ever. Then about a month ago, I decided to up the idle to 1k to run with AC, I did it to prevent engine stalling. Was to easy to stall when braking, no fun. When upped to 1k, no stall problems. Revs did drop, but didn't let the engine stall.

I think that time it started to develop that strange noise from the top of the engine.

Its not viscous fan, cause if u hold it and turn on the engine, the noise is still there.

Engine doesn't eat oil, doesn't smoke, drives ok.

I've installed splitfires recently and still I can see some blue electric discharges in the dark. Don't think it could affect something though.

I did an oil change yesterday with silver Mobil 1 5w-50 fully synth., its quieter now, but its still there.

VIDS:

When 1st installed:

With intercooler on LOL

Can't hear any abnormal noises )

Now see those shot today. Went to check the engine Turned the idle down to around 800 before shooting:

(Last vid(number 3) at around 0.36 u could hear a bang or bump while revs drop, wtf is that ? Detonation ? Or is it just fuel exploding in exhaust.

1st time I hear that and so loud. Only did it once).

Now this one shot around 2 weeks ago with ~1k idle, and with one of the viscous fan blade hitting the radiator. So that flapping/tapping sound.

But the buzz is still there.

P.S.

If I turn the idle down to 600 or so, there is little to no noise at all.

Some one tell me whats going on !

My thoughts:

CAS ?

But no errors on ecu check.

Thanks!

Just an observation - your boost gauge shows '0' on idle.. should be about (minus) 0.5-0.7 bar on that gauge..

check for vaccuum leak/hose off?

explains idling problem with a/c, popping under deceleration, and strange noise...

maybe I connected my gauge wrong ?

When I connect consult it shows 15 degrees timing.

Or i'm not getting something ?

On those pics u can see a pink hose with a T-thingy. I get my boost reading from there.

Cable: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/index.shtml

Software: http://www.nissandatascan.com/ U get nissandatascan with cable and its great, u can do maprtrace on rb20s and lots of other stuff :(

In those vids I used freeconzult. http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/conzult/downloads.htm

Because I only had this one installed on the notebook I used.

Btw, u can wire consult in any rb20de or det, just need to have the hcr32 ecu and the consult connector. Get the ecu pin out and connect the wires :(

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
