Hi guys this one seem's like a hard problem to find!

At idle there is a rubbing sound noise (rubbing is the best description i can come up with) it take the revs up just past 1500rpm, it then goe's away! i rev up to 4000rpm and take my foot off and around 1500 rpm it will hesitate before dropping to idle 900 rpm, as soon as it hits 1500rpm the rubbing/grinding noise comes back.

Now i was thinking is it like a belt that sort of comes right when you get to a certain rpm (like an unbalanced wheel, you drive through the unbalanced point), but then i was thinking why does the motor hesitate right at the point it starts making the noise?

Has it got something to do with the VCT?

Anyone had this prob or got any ideas? cheers

is it like a rubbing noise or could it be a vibration in a belt? the reason i ask is that it may possibly be a pulley bearing causing a vibration in a belt when at a certain speed. an example of this is a semi common problem with SSS pulsars where the aircon belt vibrates at idle when the aircon is on and the moment you blip the throttle it goes away. new bearings in the pulley seems to solve it for a little while.

other possilbe causes could be air in the power steering pump (or just low fluid) but that will generally be all the time and get louder as you turn the steering.

the revs dropping to 1500 then down to idle is pretty normal as well. i have owned lots of cars that do that.

How loud is it? my car also hesitates before dropping to idle sometimes but it doesn't make any weird noises

Hey guys, im picking it must be a belt then i just thought it weird due to the revs hesitating at the point it starts rumbling, does not miss at all. will check my cambelt as i am picking its that, may just take a belt of at at time to slowy eliminate each possible prob.... so allot of cars hesitate for half to a whole sec around 1500rpm when throttle is released? weird..

cheers

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
