Hi everyone, Just curious if anyone has experienced this before or could give me some ideas as to what to look for?

I rarely drive my R33 4 door, Automatic Skyline, but as it sits under a car cover I have been hoping it would stay in the similar condition.

The other day I took my car out for a drive and noticed very quickly that it had developed a hollow high pitched noise when slowly driving and when stopped with the brake fully engaged. The high pitched sound seemed most frequent while idling or moving through the automatic gears, and didn't seem totally go away even when the engine was fully warm. May have lessened, possible after a long drive, but am still worried about it.

Could be something to do with it not having been driven in 2 weeks, I was slow with the first 10km of the drive to allow the oils to circulate, but its still a weird noise. I did look in the engine bay but the noise seemed to be coming from inside the car, either that or it stopped by the time I had got to the engine to check.

Any ideas for areas to check first and i'll give them a look.

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
