Hi ever since i got my R32 GTR rebuilt i have been hearing a high pitch whistle on idol the only thing is its really annoying noise and im sick of people asking me what it is the guy who did the rebuild took the engine out and they said they could not find anything wrong with the car at all and that it was not doing any harm but its a really loud whistle does anyone know what it might be or have had this problem before i been to a couple tuners they said they dont know what it is.... when i rev it gets louder then disappears on high revs but on idol its does it loud and low as the car idols so if anyone has a idea let me know thanx

Just wondering Aquilino, as to whether this thread should be under "General Maintenance"

Have you gone to the front of the engine to pull the throttle cable to see where this whistle is coming from?

Without knowing that, I can only add that a whistle = air passing thru a small aperture; which means that it might be passing thru a split in a gasket. If so, that split might close as you're driving because of expansion. And this would mean that you should take the car back...

Cheers,

Tez

yea thanks but i did take it back and they said it was ok and now my warenty is over and i dont want to go back to this place as they are really dodgey and im always back and forth with them they f**k me around alot but ill look into what you said thanks heaps

    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
    • Nah mate, safe as $800k apartments
