Hey,

I have this really irritating problem, if I rev the engine over roughly 3000rpm with the clutch fully pushed down (ie. disengaged) I get this nasty whiney noise that pretty much doesn't stop until I re-engage the clutch.

Does anyone know what this might be, is there a simple way to fix it? Or do I need to explain things more. I can probably take a video of it too.

It drives me nuts. :P

Thanks!

Does it make the noise while in neutral, foot off the clutch @ 3000rpm+ ?

No it does not, only when the clutch is pushed down.

Here is a video of it:

First few revs, foot off the clutch.

Then I rev with my foot pushing down on the clutch and the noise starts a bit.. do it again and the noise doesn't stop, even when revs climb down to idle.

The noise stops once I take my foot off the clutch near the end.

Dude, it does it when I'm shifting, so if the revs were going to fall off from > 3000rpm it will make this annoying sound and it's loud and embarassing.

Please don't tell me to take my revs over 3000rpm when I'm driving :) That will make me cry.

Dude, it does it when I'm shifting...
Well, you didn't tell us that. You said:

"if I rev the engine over roughly 3000rpm with the clutch fully pushed down (ie. disengaged)"

That suggests to me you are doing it deliberately.

It sounds like it might be a dud thrust bearing.

usually the thrust bearing would make a cricket sound when the clutch isn't being pushed before it got this bad....... did you notice a sound of a cricket while in neutral at the traffic lights or while warming up the car???? I had a similar prob in my r33 gtst, changed the clutch and all that and it went away....

it will be your thrust/throwout bearing. it seems unusual that you would get a new clutch installed and they didn't change the throwout bearing.

yeah it is very strange but it sounds right...... if it is the bearing then don't get them to do it again or demand it free if it looks old...... otherwise dont know what else it could be without looking at it...

Mate, just wondering if you've fixed what wrong?

I have the similar problems just recently. When i clutch in and give it some throttle, the revs would just stay there at won't drop. even when i take my foot off the clutch the revs still doesn't drop. and like you said, I could hear a nasty noise when the revs are high-ish with the clutch in. cheers

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
