ok alot of people gave me a few replys about what the weird whistle was in my car but i though ill upload it and then they can watch it and hear it for them selfs i played with the trotle a bit u can hear it go wen i start to accelerate and the whistle dies down this sounds alot louder than it should be because when the bonnet is closed you obviously cant hear it as much.

Alot of people told me to take it back and i did when i noticed it and he told me they took the engine out and they could not find anything wrong and its not something i should be concerend about but i hate it and i want it to run quiet and smooth like alot of other GT-Rs so watch and give me your feed back.

ps. cars out of warenty now for the rebuild and he f**ked me over the last time i was there so going back is not an option!!!

Yeah from the vid it sounds like more of a squeak than a whistle, most probably what Karl said, poor water on your belts when its running see if it stops for a few seconds.

If it was a whistle noise I'd say it was your intake/induction pipes/exhaust/turbo. If it was a scrape noise like metal on metal inside the engine I'd be worried and taking it back to the rebuilder.

if your think its internal grab a big flat head screw driver, put the handle to your ear and the blade on various engine parts and see where it's coming from.

Good luck :P

mmmm funny you should say that about the belts because at the front i noticed one of the belts is worn on the the side and i looked down with a torch and it looks like it might be hitting a bolt for some reason ill try that water thing tonight and ill tell you what happens to it

Turbo seals etc were replaced not long back pretty sure its not them to me it sounds like its coming from the front but then i cant tell 100% because if you lean in it sounds like its coming from the plenum or like under it near the injectors.

thanks for your help ill keep you guys posted

I am not a guru,

But there sounded like a Knock in the background.....

I thought I could just hear it over the noise of the lifters.....

Possible other issues? Big End Bearing?

As well as Belts slipping

knock ? wtF? i just got it rebuilt car drives fine its peaking on the dyno and its not over boosted it runs fine does not miss a beat its just a noise and thanx for that gay little photo that really helps me mate thanks i dont need stupid immature comments like that im asking for peoples help if you don't want to help go make a thred about being a sad flamin mongrel!

I poured water on the belts its not that thanks guys for that advice but didn't work its coming from under the injectors im going with air leek the car runs 100% tho no problems at all

yea man mmmmmm i will take it just in the spraying process atm trying to get the Bit*ch on the Rd asap but i will take it to someone asap like the cars performance could not be any better i just have it in the back of my mind and a bit concerned about it ah wellz :( have not had much luck with the car and cant see that changing but ill take it to someone in next few weeks n see how i go thanks man

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
