I'm not sure what it is so im asking for info so I know what it might be. I have a Idea that it might be but not sure. Its a wooping noise comming from the D.S.W. and as far as I can tell you cant hear it from the outside its not always there so I took the wheel off to investergate but as far as I can tell its not rubbing. When I speed up it gets louder and more high pitched when in Nertural still here is when the car crusies to a holt. So if anywbody has any Ideas Do tell

cheers

might pay to jack up the car, and spin each wheel by hand, (as fast as you can while still being able to monitor for sounds) you may find that you'll innitially hear nothing, but compare the sound of each wheel and listen for the 'slightest' differences. Remember that on the road the slightest noises can be 'amplified' tenfold!!

That's a starting point!

I've recently replaced my front wheel bearings, now the rear ones are getting irritating!! They'll be done shortly!! (about $250-$280 both fronts).

Funny sound, like the 'modulation' of a twin engined turboprop aircraft in flight!! Not at all metallic though, more a dull whoop, whoop, whoop sound that is proportional to the speed of the car. Thought it was tyres at first!!

Give it a shot, and respond on what you see (hear!!)

When my DS wheel bearing was done up too tight my bearing ground badly but only when turning one way. This might be a tell tale if this is what has happened.

Have you checked to see if it's your rotors? Might be an idea to jack it up, take of the wheel and see if you can spin the hub. I spose if this doesn't do the noise then maybe it's the hub cos the weight of the wheel isn't on it anymore. If it does do it it might be the brakes. Hope you have good hearing :P

Good luck.

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
