god sum ppl really are stupid!!!!

when clutch is out nor the throwout bearing or the spigot bush/bearing is in use and they are doin the same speed as the engine. therefore the only bearing that is spinning that would be most likely to hear would be the input shaft bearing.... when clutch is pushed in if the noise was a spigot or throwout this is the tim u would be hearing it. due to the fact of the clutch has released drive between the input shaft and crankshaft. think about it ppl go through things in ur mind first b4 u start telling ppl wat u think the problem might be.

lol gold was waiting for someone to bring that up!

its not the bearings thats a load of shiet, its Common with nissans and its due to the cut of the gears . as they wear they start to get niosey, it will be the input and counter shaft gears that are worn causing the "rolled" edges to flatten out and thats the noise, dont concern yourself with it, the gears/box is old

you can get rid of the noise by replacing the input/counter/everyother worn gear but its very costly and doesnt really do much towards strength

Have to dig up this old thread as I've got a strange noise coming from my car that started about a week ago, similar to what's been mentioned here which has some good points being made, but now I'm not sure if it would be clutch or gearbox after reading a couple of replies.

Basically I start the car & for a few seconds it sounds normal, and then I start to hear a whining noise from the front of the car. It will do it in neutral, even with the clutch in. Under driving it starts to get louder as the revs increase, but then goes away once the clutch goes in & comes back after releasing. The first couple of days I didn't mind it too much but today it was quite loud so I'm going to try & get it looked at asap just to see how bad it is.

As for the clutch, the release point is still normal, no slippage & apart from the noise now I haven't had any problem with this clutch, got it about 6 months ago I guess but cant really remember. It's always made the noise everyone mentions at idle that goes away when you put the clutch in (throwout bearing??), but this noise hasn't got anything to do with that & sounds like it's coming from a different part of the bay.

I'll just run that again with a few other details to get some feedback from someone who knows more about it than me :)

* Whining noise after start-up at idle, clutch in or out. Also my idle is sometimes steady but also drifts between about 900rpm-1200rpm or so (up & down), when it does this the noise gets a bit louder but when it drops right back down goes away for that split second....only noticed that a couple of times though

* Becomes louder when driving before eventually being drowned out by turbo/engine, can hear it usually at idle but sounds at it's worst taking off. It's probably made worse that my exhaust is really quiet lol

* I can hear it making the noise while driving, but when I put the clutch in it goes away.

* I haven't tried putting it in neutral while still rolling so I'm not sure if it would make the noise if I did this or not.

* Occasionally it randomly goes away briefly (like I mentioned with the idle too) but it's pretty much happening all the time now

Any ideas???

Cheers :D

Also I should mention one feeling I think it might be could be something to do with near the front of the engine (the few belts & pulleys), as that's where the noise seems to come from when I open the bonnet. Only thing with that is once I open the bonnet it's harder to isolate that sound. But I'm not sure if it would be something like a squeaky pulley because I'd think the noise would be there all the time, not go away when the clutch goes in...

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
