Hey cam....pretty sure the problem is a bad ground! I have a 93 R33 gtst and have the same problem in my car, but just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. i have a rough idea because i have f**ked around with the amp, rear 6" and put in new splits and head unit (not due to the noise, but because i wanted better ones) and the problem is still there, however im not an auto electrican, but a couple of my mates who are diesel fitters informed me a while ago that it is the ground, i just haven't had the time to harrass one of them enough to fix it lol. Hope that helps mate!

yeah as brendan said, its a bad ground. get a thicker ground cable and also make sure theres a fuse somewhere and it should fix it. the noise your hearing is the variation in RPM on the alternator, that of course corresponds to the RPM of the car when its running

floating the ground thru the antenna jack , RCA or speaker frames shorting on metal can cause a few

radios dont need big fat ground wires, they draw fark all current.

bad alternator can cause "ripple" in the A/C sine wave being converted to DC. a bit deep for most but its normally when its about ready to fail or bad ground/power wires to it.corrosion on teminals ????

record the sound and it would narrow it down quickly

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
