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

  • 3 weeks later...

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
