Car : 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 M Spec

Since i had the car i noticed that when the car idles (600rpm), it has a whinning noise comming from the engine bay, like as if one of the belts was too tight or something.. i never really worried about it.., just lately i noticed something..

When idle, if you put the clutch in, or even just rest ur foot on the clutch pedle with a little force, the noise goes away ??

I did have thoughts that my clutch was gone and slipping a few weeks ago , but im not 100% sure...

Does anyone know what this noise may be ? or wat it is related to ?

Thanks..

Can also be a timing belt....

A noise like (werrrrrrr) is usuallt the timing belt....

yeh but if that was the case woulnt the noise stay there regardless if the clutch was depressed in or not ??

Yeah if the noise goes away with a little pressure on the clutch then you have answered you question.... Its the thrust bearing.... Very common...

hmm ok... i would just change that when i change the clutch next yeh...

How much would a new thrust bearing cost you rekon ?

I get this noise too in my R32 GTR

but only when driving with my wife :angry:

haha top call !

Nah turbo is stock man, must be the thrust bearing cauz im sure the clutch is on the way out...

Is there any group buys on clutch's or anyone know where to get them for a good price in Sydney ?

Dont need anything big, a heavy duty should do fine for now..

Thanks for the help

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
