Maybe the CAS, put your hand on it to check

How can you tell exactly it doesnt seem to be vibrating or anything but i did the old end of the screwdriver trick to listen in and does seem to be the loudest there? Could it just be in the wrong position or faulty its noticbly louder though since after installing the belt if that helps :S

My CAS had a dry(ish) bearing that was quite loud. Didnt realise thats what the noise was till I pulled the CAS off when checking everything over. It wasnt spinning smooth at all. Put a new CAS on and all good. Not sure if that will be your problem but not hard to check. Just mark where it was sitting before you take it off or re-check your timing when you put it back on

Its the cam cover. Put pressure on the top driver side and it should go away. No idea how you fix it, alot of rb motors do it.

yep. mine is the same. took the cam cover off n noise went away...

Im having it put back on atm n asking the place to put it back on with some rubber washers to stop the noise as it seems to be harmonic as it only occurs at a certian rmp range (around idle)

will let you know if i find a fix...

Well i originaly thought it was the timing belt or bearing etc... but i had it recently replaced with a whole new gates racing belt kit which came with new Idler Bearing etc

which actually appears to have made the noise louder.

Can only hear it at idle, drove it the other day got back home had a listen nothing noise wasnt there.

Comes and goes it seems. But always comes after a min after a cold start and slowly gets louder.

yep. this is also the same situation as me. was worse after changing all the necessary bits n also varies in how n when it will do it. But usually when it is cold is when i can hear mine...

Its so embarrassing that it only happens on idle cos most of the time that is the only thing people will hear around you when on the lights.

Gates racing belt + aircon + idle is f**kING HORRIBLE. I switch my AC off because if that f**king sound.

The harmonic balancer isn't the issue(I hope you're not changing it for that). The noises come from 3 things; 1) The gates racing belt, especially when warm 2) Old bearings 3) The cam cover. I put brand new everything, bearings, belt, rubber grommets on the cam cover. I RARELY get the cam cover sound. Bearing noise is gone, timing belt(the whirr when the AC is on or the engine is warm) is still there. If I do the belt again, I will NEVER get a gates belt. Stock or Nismo.

Yea i know it isnt the issue the rubber is starting to crack hince why im changing it, I rarely hear a noise when its warm or gone for a drive its when i start it up and a min later it occurs and sometimes when ever.

Bearings were replaced so only option could be the cam cover possibly but ill check again when i do the balancer. I also agree allot people have been hating the gates belt for the common noise etc I'll probably do the same thing.

      Wheel refurb?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster.

      Wheel refurb?

      By dyl33 · Posted

      I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240

      Wheel refurb?

      By PranK · Posted

      Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.

      Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
