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

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
