I have an issue with my r33 rb25de ! :(

So basically when the engine is COLD and i start driving it. In first and second gear when my revs are low the car makes a whining noise (i THINK when im holding down the clutch and accelerating). Realyl worries me, sounds like theres a major issue.

Any help will be appreciated!@

If the clutch is worn chances are the thrust bearing is worn to,

Before I changes my clutch yhe bearing was really loud

As asked before does the noise go away when the clutchpedal is all the way to the floor?

Also you said it only happens when it's cold If

The sound goes away when the cars warm it could be a sign of a gearbox problem

Hmmm not really sure then you might want to have that looked at by someone who's know what they are doing could be a gear box problem,

Luckily it's not a hugely expensive job to swap it over if your getingthe clutch changed it would cost any extra in labour, it's just a natter if find a decent condition reasonably price gear box

Im not 100% sure. It happens when the clutch is engaged + im accelerating. If i just hold the clutch and dont touch the gas i dont think it makes any noises.

Next time see if it is in all gears except for forth... Forth is the only gear that doesn't put pressure on the cluster shaft bearings. Could also be your input shaft bearing. Both are very common noises on our gearboxes.

Are you sure it's the trust bearing?

I've never heard a thrust bearing that loud and Ive had 5 or 6 different make cars with a very worn or slightly worn thrust bearing

Not 100% but I've got a mate who's done 3 or 4 thrust bearings in the past and he's positive that's it. Did show up very suddenly and very loudly though. Need to get an expert's opinion.

It had run out of power steering fluid!

Dude not cool, check all fluids(under bonnet) every two weeks as a guide, more if you know you have problems that cannot be fixed for a while.

EDIT: Just sayin, not hatin.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
