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

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
