Only had the car about one month and there are afew strange sounds that maybe someone here has encountered before.

NO:1, at idle, sounds sort of like a thrust bearing, but not as loud and high pitched, when the clutch is pushed in it goes away!

NO:2 when breaking just before the car stops (last 5 meters or so) the front left brake is making a "grating" sound and "feels" rough thru the pedal.

any help would be much apreciated!

i have the same noise with #2. Just when pulling up at lights for the last 10m there is a bit of a scraping noise, its not too bad, but i am gonna get it sused. When I bought it the guy said its had the discs machined and new pads. The discs feel pretty smooth, must be the pads...

yes it will make the noise in neutral, if you press the clutch it will disappear.....

i am afraid it is rather costly, so as i said if it isnt too loud dont worry, but if you insist get your gearbox rebuilt, i guess it will cost $2000 or more.

If it's the input bearing it will make a noise in neutral with the clutch out because you have:

engine -> clutch -> gearbox -> diff/road

gearbox has an input and output shaft, normally these are engaged in a gear but they're not connected in neutral - but with the clutch out the engine's still connected to the input side of things so the input shaft will spin with the engine.

Have a look at howstuffworks.com, pics will help.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
