haha naa all good just been chilling with a mate who just let off a fire work in his hand haha

but anyways its coming from the engine bay sounds like metal whining then stopping

Gotta love fireworks/crackers.

I actually have this problem too! that's why I first went into this thread. Totally forgot to talk about it. haha.

But sometimes I also get it when when the revs go a bit higher than idle like if I turn the climate control on. It's wierd.

I thought it was my timing belt that was too tight coz I put a new timing belt kit in even before I had started the engine the first time (I bought the car not running). But It's still doing it and I've done about 3000-4000kays.

shit u guys where right about that whinning comming from the missus " ur always on that skylines thing blah blah blah" haha :banana:

lol, i get the same thing mate dont you worry....

tell her to get a hobby!

didnt work for me but its worth a try! lol

I've been told it might be one of the cam gears or the belt itself just rubbing on the belt cover. Coz at that certain rev, obviously just b4 it stops, maybe the cam gear or belt move slightly or vibrate. Haven't tried it tho.

yeah.......after it has turned off, the turbine doesnt all of u sudden some to a complete stop!

it spins freely for a couple seconds before sloooowwwwlllyyyyyy stopping :banana:

well thats my theory any way.

case closed!

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
