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.

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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
