Hello guys,

I'm new here. I'm currently stationed in Japan and I just bought a 89 skyline GT-R. I drove it around yesterday and it was driving fine. I took it out for a drive today and a rattling sound started coming from the engine while i was driving. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

The noise is constant and doesn't change when i rev up or drive around.

I'm not too sure. It sounds like its coming from the top, it started doing it out of nowhere. Me and my buddy were out for a drive and he said that he saw something come loose from the bottom. so i don't know what it could be. the noise seems to be loudest when i'm standing near the top though.

Could be low fluid level in the power steer or bearings in the power steering or alternator. Check PS fluid level. (I assume you've already checked engine oil level).

Nah man they all sound like coming from the top, it's the bottom end. or your cam bearing had spun or could be main bearing. conrods bearing usually click click click or clack clack clack sounds like main I'd be pissed.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is typical (for a rb at least) with a medium to large turbo, noting the format of the graph is probably misleading what you see a little (half portrait width but full height, in landscape it would look quite different) Basically until it hits target boost the torque curve is rising steeply, when that is 4000+ rpm it is not great to drive since almost all of your life is between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once you hit target boost the wastegate opens and torque stops rising so quickly. From there the shape of the curve depends mostly on the cams and where they have a peak vs the rev limiter

      Last of the maintenance items for now....not sure why but the drivers side window switch had heaps of wear on the right front and right rear switches Unfortunately, unlike earlier Skylines the controls are bolted to the door trim from the inside. So....off the with door trim. There are bolts or screws: Behind the door handle cover, pop it off from the handle side Under the rubber trim at the bottom of the door pull (also just pops up) Behind the courtesy light at the bottom. Other than that, just window down then pop off the usual selection of push in clips around the perimeter and the trim lifts up Interesting that they have a bolt on cover instead of the old school plastic held on by goop....I guess they prioritised sound levels over price Then, 2 screws and 2 plugs to replace the switch (looks identical to the Fuga/Q70 one incidentally) and put it all back together. Also much better

      ok I understand, but the majority of turbo vehicles lose torque, or have a flat torque curve after the spool.  hence my initial misunderstanding. I didn't think this type of curve was possible

      It is completely normal. Your original understanding is what was wrong, not what you see in the charts.
