Very Strange Problem - Car Is Posessed?

Hey people,

I have a problem with my car (R32 GTS-t) - It's not really posessed, that's just a joke. But I seriously thought it was the first time this happened.

If my car is cold (and I mean cold, like when its 7am and the windows are still frosty), and I turn right (slightly hard - not throwing it around - usually roundabouts set this off), I get a loud... 'screaming' noise coming from about where the ECU is located.

That is, a high pitched whistle that is quite loud, and most of the time stops when I straighten up, but a few times has persisted until I turn the ignition off and on again.

Is there anything to do with the HICAS in the left kick panel? Could this be the ECU?

I'm expecting jokes back but thanks in advance for any ideas on what the frig is causing this... it freaks my girlfriend out to no end...

Cheers lol!

Bobby.

Maybe a loose belt - power steering? Though usually that will scream as the engine starts. Maybe next try with the windows open to get a different perspective on if its inside or outtide.

maybe your girlfriend is screaming?

lol

on a serious note, i had a similar problem when turning the steering wheel when stationary on a cold start, on a different car, but mechanics are similar... check your belts and fluids

Thanks for the suggestions guys :D, The fan sounds like the likely culprit, it's definitely inside the car, and I usually always have the demister on on cold mornings. I'll take a closer look next time it happens.

Cheers ;)

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      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????
