Hey guys,

Since i picked up my Skyline a week ago I have noticed a strange noise through a certain rev range. About 1800 - 2500 rpm. It generally happens only in 2nd and 4th gears.

The noise sounds a bit like a bearing noise, i first thought it might be a leak in the intake or something but it doesnt manifest itself in 3rd gear at all. It sounds like a hissing unlubed bearing type noise. Hardish to describe.

Once it hits boost the noise kind of vanishes with speed increase.

I was searching for something on the forums and the thread at this link might relate.

Would bearings in different gears make different noises? Should i take it back to the dealer and get them to replace the bearings?

Car is a 1993 5 speed manual Skyline R33 GTS25t.

Thanks!

have u found the solution to it yet?

Cant hear it anymore. Induction noise too loud or its gone away... I plan on putting the airbox back on soonish so i will let you know if the noise is still there.

sewid try to listen to this noise when the car is stoped and the engine going .if its aslight wound type of noise then push the clutch in and after 60 or so seconds see if the noise goes if it does then its the g/box bearings for sure if it gets worse with the clutch pedal pressed in then its the thrust bearing in wich case it shouldnt do it while driving .

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
