Can Anyone Identify This Noise!

Hey guys

This noise has been coming from my gearbox area for quite some time now, and i've finally had it, ive put up with it long enough. This was recorded with my phone right at the gearstick, as I rolled at about 15km/h.

The noise seems to be directly linked to the motion of the wheels. Whilst the car is moving, the noise is making, no matter what gear (even in neutral) and no matter if the clutch is engaged or not. As the car rolls to a stop, the noise disappears, and is silent on idle.

Youll notice the noise doesnt really change in intensity as i accelerate either...

Any thoughts? Its bugging me no end!!!! Ive read up till the cows came home on input shaft bearings, thrust bearings, etc etc - what about the tailshaft? Could this explain why its linked to the movement of the car?

Cheers

Andrew

**Update, just did some testing and the noise is NOT audible when the car is reversing.....**

defiantly a bearing, have you checked your wheel bearings... not sure if it would be them,

Possibly, but would it sound like it was coming from the middle like that if it was a wheel? Hmmm...

Also, forget what I said about the noise not being there in reverse... it actually is, i just wasnt listening hard enough that time...

Definately not in the gearbox. More than likely a wheel bearing or even possibly a diff. Hard to say from the recording.

Best news ive heard in ages...

I'll get all those things checked when i get me new cluth put in next week...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
