Dunno if it is the Thrust Bearing, as my mechanic told me that mine is stuffed and makes the hissing noise, but only when my foot is off the clutch. when my foot in on the clutch the noise is gone..

i bought my car with the noise with compliance...

Silva33 is right.. the thrust bearing will make a noise when your clutch is engaged (i.e foot off the clutch) That sounds more like a gearbox bearing dude.. :)

i have the exact problem it is a bearing on the input shaft or someshit like that my mechanic told me, hasnt had much affect on the cars driving up to now apart from the noise and whining, but if it gets worse then it will need fixing, and over time it will... mine is pretty loud so its gettin fixed soon...

cheers...ben.

To throw a spanner in the works: My 33 makes the same noise, did the clutch and bearing and it was still there. I gave my mech. a listen and he said 'that sound is the gearbox turning over when the clutch is out in neutral'. Sounds logical to me.

a little off topic... my thrust bearing makes the hissing noise (foot off the clutch)... can someone tell me what exactly the thrust bearing does so i can decide how urgent it is to replace...

cheers.

the thurust bearing is part of the clutch kit.. It is used to release the clutch pressure plate when you push the pedal down... You would normally replace it when you do your clutch

      Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?

      Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

      Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.

      The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.

      Belt flex under throttle

      For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
