My issue started happening a few weeks after I purchased the car. Only put about 300 miles on it and then the issue occurred. Please help.

First vid is a sound coming from my passenger side.

Second Vid is a flapping type sound when the car is in gear and when the RPM'S hit 2000k-2500k. Above 2500k the sound goes away. In the vid you can hear me rev up the car when it's in neutral and you'll notice that it doesn't make a sound at all.

One morning I noticed both of these sounds so they both occurred in the same time. What do you think it is?

 

you may want to post this in the Z32 area

 

for the second one, i would look at your fan clutch, check it for play...etc if the fan clutch is good, then i would start checking your belts and the idler pulleys. also when you say it only does it when its in gear, then how did you make that vid?

 

I will check those. When I put it in gear, I basically had the clutch all the way down to the floor and had the emergency brake up.

 

maybe something in the throw out bearing assembly. is it really dependent on being in gear or is it just if the clutch is in?

 

Yeah, its only when the clutch is in. Because when I put it in neutral and rev it up, everything sounds fine. Only when it's in gear and happens when shifting, even when I'm in reverse. So it sounds like it has something to do with my clutch or gears or something.

 

it doesn't sound exactly like mine did, but the symptoms point towards the throw out bearing

 

Hmmm that's what a few said. A person said on 300zxclub its VTC Sprocket.
