G'day all,

I drive a 93 R33 GTS-t and recently I have noticed a high pitch 'whistle' coming from the engine bay upon acceleration. I'm pretty sure its not the usual turbo spool and i'm just wondering what it could be and if it's normal??

Secondly, my drivetrain seems a bit noisy, again, im not sure if that is just a normal thing with a sports car as i've previously only driven family/luxury sedans which would have more sound proofing. I'm thinking its the gearbox because when the clutch is in, the noise goes away, however the gearbox feels pretty good.

Just wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions?? Thanks. :P

I can help with the gearbox noise, if it is noisey with your foot off the clutch in neutral and quiet with the clutch in it is caused by a worn thrust bearing. Just replace it when you next do the clutch.

The rest is hard to guess without hearing....do you have a pod filter? they can whistle sometimes as can a turbo

Heap it seems to do it mainly when its cold (not the engine, the ambient temp), and my car is 100% stock (as far as i know) so its not a pod or anything, although it sounds intake related (obviously). I'm going to get it serviced pretty soon, so i might ask them to keep an ear out...

As for driveline, symptoms are exactly as you describe, thanks for the help on that one.

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
