I think I had the same noise before I had my 100,000km service, got the belt, tensioner and idler bearings replaced. It was not a cheap trip to the mechanics that was origionally just supposed to be a tune up.

They said I had a serious timing belt noise and recomended I change ASAP. That was Gavin Wood Autotech on the Gold Coast so I trusted them and had it done.

Get the cambelt and pullys check. I had the same noise ...along with it sounding like there was a cricket living in my housing. Well I left it a little to long, snapped the belt and bent 4 valves.

The idle pulley had be refitted after getting the cambelt replaced (done when car was complied), some idiot put a washer behind the pully and this threw the allignment out. It ran the belt against the housing and wore it from the standard thickness of 1' down to a 12 inch thick.

I had my water pump replaced recently, and they needed to get the timing belt off. When they put it back on, it was way too tight, and made noises on idle once it warmed up. When cold it made no noise...

Also check to see if it the bearings on your A/C, alternator or power steering.

To do that, take one belt off at a time to see if it stops..

ok well im pritty sure its my cam gear bearings coz my dad said the same thing as u guys  said, where would i get it fixed is there a good place in melbourne?? thankz guyzzzzzzz

id say its you timing belt not cam bearings, they dont have cam bearings you can replace, they are just machined journals in the head and caps. i did a timing belt for a friends rb25 and before i did it was making similar noise to you were talking about, found belt pretty lose. After i replace the belt it was all fine. just my opinon from your discription

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
