ok alot of people gave me a few replys about what the weird whistle was in my car but i though ill upload it and then they can watch it and hear it for them selfs i played with the trotle a bit u can hear it go wen i start to accelerate and the whistle dies down this sounds alot louder than it should be because when the bonnet is closed you obviously cant hear it as much.

Alot of people told me to take it back and i did when i noticed it and he told me they took the engine out and they could not find anything wrong and its not something i should be concerend about but i hate it and i want it to run quiet and smooth like alot of other GT-Rs so watch and give me your feed back.

ps. cars out of warenty now for the rebuild and he f**ked me over the last time i was there so going back is not an option!!!

Yeah from the vid it sounds like more of a squeak than a whistle, most probably what Karl said, poor water on your belts when its running see if it stops for a few seconds.

If it was a whistle noise I'd say it was your intake/induction pipes/exhaust/turbo. If it was a scrape noise like metal on metal inside the engine I'd be worried and taking it back to the rebuilder.

if your think its internal grab a big flat head screw driver, put the handle to your ear and the blade on various engine parts and see where it's coming from.

Good luck :P

mmmm funny you should say that about the belts because at the front i noticed one of the belts is worn on the the side and i looked down with a torch and it looks like it might be hitting a bolt for some reason ill try that water thing tonight and ill tell you what happens to it

Turbo seals etc were replaced not long back pretty sure its not them to me it sounds like its coming from the front but then i cant tell 100% because if you lean in it sounds like its coming from the plenum or like under it near the injectors.

thanks for your help ill keep you guys posted

I am not a guru,

But there sounded like a Knock in the background.....

I thought I could just hear it over the noise of the lifters.....

Possible other issues? Big End Bearing?

As well as Belts slipping

knock ? wtF? i just got it rebuilt car drives fine its peaking on the dyno and its not over boosted it runs fine does not miss a beat its just a noise and thanx for that gay little photo that really helps me mate thanks i dont need stupid immature comments like that im asking for peoples help if you don't want to help go make a thred about being a sad flamin mongrel!

I poured water on the belts its not that thanks guys for that advice but didn't work its coming from under the injectors im going with air leek the car runs 100% tho no problems at all

yea man mmmmmm i will take it just in the spraying process atm trying to get the Bit*ch on the Rd asap but i will take it to someone asap like the cars performance could not be any better i just have it in the back of my mind and a bit concerned about it ah wellz :( have not had much luck with the car and cant see that changing but ill take it to someone in next few weeks n see how i go thanks man

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
