hey guys,

I've noticed ever since i've had the car that the car seems to be really noisy. The engine has a pretty loud ticking sound and not only when it's cold. But one thing that i'm really worried about is that my gearbox seems awefully noisy. i can hear the some sort of whining when i'm in gear and also this whirring noise that is directly proportional to my speed. i could be in neutral and rolling down a hill and the whirring noise will be there. it sounds like my drive shaft is scraping across something. Can anyone help please! i hope i don't have something wrong with my gearbox or anything eeep!

"does the noise go away when you push in the clutch?

does the noise happen in all gears?

is the noise relational to speed or rpm?

does it happen in netutral?

what kind of car?"

no i can be rolling down a hill with the clutch in and the noise is still there. the noise happens in all gears. it happens in neutral. It's a r32 gtr.

ps. the ticking isn't worrying me too much i assume it's the injectors but the noisy gearbox and metal on metal scraping noise does.!

What modifications have been done to the car? If its directly relational to speed not rpm, could be straight cut gears, could be worn gears and/or bearings.

Ticking noise is probably a combination of solid lifters and injectors... RB26's have noisy top ends :)

"so the pitch of the noise changes with speed and not rpm?

Where does it sound like it comes from? can you hear it inside and outside the car? can you feel any vibration from it?"

the scraping noise is directly proportional to the speed that the car is moving at not rpm. the noise sounds is coming from the center of teh car rite at the gearbox. someones the noise is really loud and sometimes the noise is soft so i have to listen to it but it's always there. the noise is most noticeable when in higher gears prolly coz in first and second the drone of the engine hides it. i have a short shift kit aswell and the gears are not happy going into first or second. have to give it a bit of force.

ps. I'm not sure if the gearbox has been modified but i'm not aware of any mods in the transmission. i can feel vibration on the gear stick when i let go of the gas mostly in third. but there is some vibration on the gearstick. i don't know if u can hear the noise from outside the car coz i have no one to listen to it :).

Don't worry about the 1st and 2nd shift, they all suck in that department.

I would almost second Amaru, straight cust gears with synchro by the sounds of things. If so, lucky bugger, you're set up for big HP. If it were a dog box, the shift would be noisy and a bitch to change gears in normal conditions.

Take the box off, have a gander...

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
