Hey guys,

Hope someone can help with a noise that's recently started up... Sort of a "zzzzz" noise, seems to be in second and third gears mostly (maybe just can't hear it at higher speed), but I think I've heard it in 1st before as well. Was thinking turbo, as odo reads 216000km and I've had it since 14000 without replacing it. No oil in the inlet pipes however... Definately seems to be coming from under the bonnet as I can't hear it with the windows up. Doesn't do it free reving. Seems to do it only when warmed up. When it starts making the noise, it goes away immediately as I accelerate.... haven't been booting it too hard since it started though... Please, has anyone got any ideas or tests I could carry out (short of removing the turbo, yet).... :(

Ive got the same noise In my GTR and had it on my gts-t. The noise comes from the gearbox and ive just put it down to my rattly old twin plate

you only get it at low engine speeds right?

Only prob is I don't have a twin plate... stock rb20det with unknown clutch... been in for the 75000km I've owned the car. I thought it might have been the gearbox too, but I can hear the box throught the trans tunnel and it doesn't seem to be coming from there... tried some nulon g70 in it to see if it would help but no change... only started less than 1000ks ago...

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
