Hi ever since i got my R32 GTR rebuilt i have been hearing a high pitch whistle on idol the only thing is its really annoying noise and im sick of people asking me what it is the guy who did the rebuild took the engine out and they said they could not find anything wrong with the car at all and that it was not doing any harm but its a really loud whistle does anyone know what it might be or have had this problem before i been to a couple tuners they said they dont know what it is.... when i rev it gets louder then disappears on high revs but on idol its does it loud and low as the car idols so if anyone has a idea let me know thanx

Just wondering Aquilino, as to whether this thread should be under "General Maintenance"

Have you gone to the front of the engine to pull the throttle cable to see where this whistle is coming from?

Without knowing that, I can only add that a whistle = air passing thru a small aperture; which means that it might be passing thru a split in a gasket. If so, that split might close as you're driving because of expansion. And this would mean that you should take the car back...

Cheers,

Tez

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
