Bad Noise R33

[craig R33]

hi all...

on my way back from an SAU SA cruise tinight, my car started to make a loud humming noise when it hit boost/accellerating

i gave it a pretty hard time tonight, could it be clutch? turbo? thrust bearing?

thanks in advance ppl

Humming as in high pitched? If so and it's only when you hit boost I'd be more inclined to say it's your turbo giving you a death wail Able to take off your intake pipe and check for shaft play or any knicks on the blades?

haha, a "hum?"

Dozens of moons ago, I had a hum when the motor was partially decelerating. Say 8k RPM and back off... It ended up being the aftermarket ECU was intermittently dropping an injector driver.

If you'd been giving it a hard time, maybe its just uneven wear (therefore balance) on the clutch friction pads... thats a grade A stab in the dark though

Better description of location, and or a dyno run with mates listening would be better.

the intake pipe looks pretty hard to take off...will prob just take it to morpowa and get simon to check it out..

doesnt do it all through the rev range though...more low down..between 2-4 k

and it not really hi pitched either...more low hum
