duuude thats the exact same sound i had when i bought my car. i dont care what others say about dumping money at thing to fix it as this is sometimes the play. its not expensive to do a timing belt, water pump, and the pulleys and hardware. the pour thing probably needs it anyway. nice car mate take my advice and just do it. it may be that other vct thing but im unfamilar with those cam setups. im going to guess 9é10 its a timing belt and tensioner issue cheers.

  • Thanks 1

and now that i see you have a hks timing belt ive seen those make wierd sounds too. just do the timing belt with the oem belt and be done with it. do the water pump at same time

 

Yea ill just do a timing-Belt job with pulley, tensioner, waterpump, everything.

Had a Call with the Garage the Car got the Engine rebuild early 2020, they told me they did everything aswell, sent me recipes and stuff.

Maybe the Belt is just a bit too tight, maybe the HKS Belt just whines like a Gates Belt, maybe its soon f**ked. Therefor ill just change it. Timing Belt and Pump is Pocket Money compared to a Engine-Job

thats what i was trying to say at the start and then mates started saying dont throuw money at it. well look where we are at now lol. anything under 1000 dollars in this game is peanuts mate. go back to an oem belt the hks ones are only good with hks cam gears. the gates belt is fine. i run 700 on a stock timing belt never had an issue

 

there is a certain amount of deflection the timing belt needs when your doing it. just take you time its not to bad. you use an allen key to put a little extra pressure on the belt from the  tensioner.  turn the motor over a couple of times by hand makes sure the timing belt isn't walking. i would replace the bottom washers as well but not ideal. let me know if i can help. cheers mate. take your time no rush. you have a nice car give it the respect it deserves forsure then you will be boosting again.

Update:

The Visco-Fan had a damaged Clutch and it wasnt spinning freely. That was the noise in high RPM.

At the same time the fancy HKS Belt left his color on the Tensionier and was tensioned too hard, that caused the Idle Noise.

 

Changed both, she purrs now.

Thread bump as mine is making a similar sound. Changed water pump, cam and crank seals, gates racing belt, idle and tension bearings, tension spring, new crank gear/washer/bolt. On a cold engine the sound isn't as loud but warmed up it whines alot. All searching here points to a tight belt, can this be done without draining coolant and removing radiator? Thanks in advance.

The day an RB needs any belt more fancy than a Pitwork belt is the day I eat one.

Who knew that back in circa 1986 the Nissan engineers figured all this out...

Replace the Gates belt with an OEM belt, no more noise.

Or just suck it up and wait for the Gates belt to soften up a bit.

Doesnt sound as bad as some of the videos Ive seen on youtube. Ill wait a bit then.

Didnt do much research on which belt to use tbh. I just bought the first water pump timing belt kit I saw.

Thanks a bunch

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
