Whining Noise On Idle ?

[onBOOST247]

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..

Could be the thrust bearing, if it goes away as you said when you touch the clutch that'd be my first choice.

Can also be a timing belt....

Yeah IT would so I suspect your thrust bearing or spigot bush.

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 ?

Come as a part of a clutch kit...

Thats the way i have always bought them....

Do you have a aftermarket turbo as they can also make a similar noise.

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
