Hey Goldwire, I pm'd you regarding that towbar if you have a chance to chat about it sometime

Hey guys, starting to worry I have a spun bearing too. want to have a listen to this video and tell me what you think? https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsgch195plhrat9/2015-01-30%2006.06.20.mp4?dl=0 I first noticed the same noise as above (but much less significant) a while back immediately after an oil change, but it just started going away and was fine for about 1000ks or so. The noise just recently flared up again and I've done some digging around and starting to worry its a bit of a problem. car runs fine otherwise, but yea. If it is a spun bearing, easiest way to check? best and worst case scenario? Its my daily and im not exactly flushed for cash atm so hopefully this doesnt screw me too hard haha

Hi Guys, Owned my first skyline for 4 months now, Its an r32 gts-t with an rb20det (all stock) with 206xxxkm's on it. Since the most recent oil change, it's developed an engine clatter from around 3000rpm and up. Most noticeable when I rev it to 3000, hold it there, and pulse it up and down from 2800 to 3200, clatter is loudest on liftoff, but not sure if thats just because there are less noises to compete with. I got out the mechanics stethoscope and hunted around, the noises seem to be coming from the top end, but I cant seem to pin point it any better than that. the oil I put in was the same as the oil I took out (Shell HX7 10W40 - was crazy cheap on special for fathers day haha) Wondering if anybody has had a similar problem, from reading around I have read some similar but not quite the same stories where people said it was blocked oil galleries, or big end bearing going (hope not!!) Something of note - the noise doesnt happen at all when its cold to half warmed up, doesnt develop til its bene running enough to be properly warmed up and hot. - maybe I can get away with a thicker oil to solve the problem? seems a bit bandaidish.. Anybody have any suggestions for me?
