Hi Guy's,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this before. When I start my car first thing in the morning after about 10-20 seconds it makes a whislte noise. Although it never does this during the day or if the car has recently been driven. The whistle noise goes for about 3-15 seconds although I have never noticed it getting worse or making a louder or longer noise. It has been doing it for about 2 weeks now, and always when the car is cold in the morning. Although after work when the car is cold it doesnt do it.

Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions???

Thanks

Mark

The reason I asked was maybe it is leaking exhaust gas some where like the welding might of cracked etc.

I too have notice my car sometime has a whistling noise when starting up. Not alot but I have heard it before.

It goes for about a little bit and than disappear.

Not sure dude! Have it check out.

Hi There Makaveli,

Sometimes in the morning when driving off I notice a similar thing, when I back off the throttle you can hear it

for me its more of a whining/honking sound.. really hard to describe

only goes for a short time as well..

not too concerned bout it..

post back with your findings!

Cheers

chicane :burnout: :burnout:

Hi chicane,

I dont hear any more whistle noises!!!!! Yesterday I decided to do an engine flush, change the oil and oil filter, while is was doing that I thought i'd clean the air flow meter and filter.

Even though I had changed the oil about 3,000k's ago I think the oil was too thick therefore being harder to mover around the engine when cold, I also noticed the engine note sounding abit more crisp :D

Chicane let me know how ur prob turns out, Im still a lil supsicious about the belts and I'll probably get them changed soon.

Take it easy

:)

my car had a quiet whistle when cold which disappeared when warm. after a while the whiste wouldnt go away when warm and would be more of a muffled scream when cold, eventually the exh wheel of the turbo blew out the exh along with lotsa smoke...

how much boost you running?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
