Good day fellas,

About a week ago a high pitched squealing/grinding sound developed on the LHF of my car while driving...basically any speed above walking speed and the sound starts...being warned of a shot wheel bearing just 2 days earlier...i proceeded to change the bearing but it didn't help...i have checked the metal brake shields to make sure nothing is contacting but can't find anything...i got a brake place to check the brakes and rotors and they couldn't find anything wrong too...

I'm now officially stumped...has anyone here ever experienced anything remotely similar to this? i'm open to anything now...the sound is so loud that it can be heard in the cabin too...cheers...

i got the exactly the same problem, same noise in the cabin can feel the vibrations when touching the stick, this is from my shit daewoo thow not my skyline, im hopeing its the wheel bearings but u have changed them hmm have u greased the bearings when u replaced im assuming u did them ur self. I really dont want to fix the car as im sick of it but i will have a look and take the lhf wheel and is same place as ur problem and have a look to see what the problem is and tell you. Its diff cars but same problem lolz , the noise gets worser everytime u drive the thing and when u start driveing over 10km its starts and keeps going till u stop.

PS: dont ever take ur car to Bob jane they tightend the bolts way to tight so u cant unscrew them manually, they suck as i cracked tips upon tips till i went to super cheap bought something that they guaranteed it wont brake and they were right..... sorry for my life story ahahhahaha

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
