Well i was being an idiot in my car giving it a real workout on a pretty warm day. Since then my car has been making a weird hobering noise kind of like the sound ufo's make in movies. It's coming from the timing belt area. I was wondering if anyone would have any clue as to what it is. I took it to one place and they think maybe my timing belt is on too tight? Could this be right???

Yeh your right i have recently changed the timing belt. So you don't reckon anything has warped or bent or anything. One person tried telling me my cam shaft may be bent as my distributer moves alot when the car is turned on. Remember its a rb25det.

Mate, sounds like your timing belt is too tight... you had better loosen that sucker because if they are too tight, they can snap! then you'll be pulling your engine apart to replace bent valves, etc...

The heat makes the belt even tighter so be careful.

what are you talking about with the Distributer?? bent cam?? I don't think so... Are you talking about the CAS on the front of the exhuast cam??

    • Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about.  
    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
