hey guys

so last night i was driving around and out of nowhere this loud whining noise started happening and doesnt seem to want to stop. Wasnt thrashing the car or anything just came out of nowhere really. the noise doesnt seem to change when i do anything in the car (revving, accelerating, neutral etc) except for when i turn my lights on/off the pitch changes, noise is coming from the rear of the car underneath it as far as i can tell, have a link with a video of the sound, someone please tell me whats going on?

first time i searched whining noises everything came up diff so i was worried so i thought i'd double check here with a video, so its definitely the fuel pump then? im thinking of going walbro 255 would this be a good choice? in terms of power i dont plan on much, around the 200rwkw mark

Fair enough . for reference if the diff isn't turning it can't make a noise.

To confirm pump, does it make th noise when you turn the ignition on after the car has been off for 30 seconds or so(without starting the car)

If yes it's definitely the pump. If only with the car on it would be engine or clutch related.

Don't need to start then stop the car. Just turn ignition yo on after car has been off for a while. The fuel pump will turn on for a few seconds (doesn't do iy if car was just turned off, which is why I said wait 30 seconds)

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
