hey guys ... im not exactly sure when this noise actually started. my r32 sounds like a bus!

i think the sound has something to do with my fan ... i thought maybe the clutchs in the fan had seized and the fan was spinning constantly, but when the car is off and i spin the fan it free spins fine.

its a vooing noise that goes with my revs... the onlything i could think of is the fan but i cant seem to see any problem with it...

anyone got any ideas/?/

yeh its is like a humming noise from the front ... i think the noise started after i got my clutch chaznged but i dont see what that could do with the timing belt or fan ...

i dont have FMIC on it yet .. still in stock form... ill check outmy timimng belt as soon as i get home ...

any other ideas guys

i appreciate it

lol yer when i bought my gtr it had that vooming noise, sounds similar to a formula one haha and the problem was my clutch fan, mine was spinning aswell but as soon as i changed it the rb noise was back so yer it was my clutch fan at the end, they are not expensive mate, i got mine for $60 installed but was from a mate, maybe ur luckier, good luck champ,

cheers tony

well i took my car to transcar and they told me what the prob was, mate anywhere can do it for you just make sure you get a good clutch fan but just get your mechanic that works on ur car to do it,

man i know the noise is just ugly lol, whenever my car hit boost it was a formula one lol, no whre near an rb26 hahha

cheers mate

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
