hey guys

so last night i was driving around and out of nowhere this loud whining noise started happening and doesnt seem to want to stop. Wasnt thrashing the car or anything just came out of nowhere really. the noise doesnt seem to change when i do anything in the car (revving, accelerating, neutral etc) except for when i turn my lights on/off the pitch changes, noise is coming from the rear of the car underneath it as far as i can tell, have a link with a video of the sound, someone please tell me whats going on?

first time i searched whining noises everything came up diff so i was worried so i thought i'd double check here with a video, so its definitely the fuel pump then? im thinking of going walbro 255 would this be a good choice? in terms of power i dont plan on much, around the 200rwkw mark

Fair enough . for reference if the diff isn't turning it can't make a noise.

To confirm pump, does it make th noise when you turn the ignition on after the car has been off for 30 seconds or so(without starting the car)

If yes it's definitely the pump. If only with the car on it would be engine or clutch related.

Don't need to start then stop the car. Just turn ignition yo on after car has been off for a while. The fuel pump will turn on for a few seconds (doesn't do iy if car was just turned off, which is why I said wait 30 seconds)

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
