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

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
