Just an update. Turns out it was the clutch. I have an OS giken twin (the CD version from memory), and it wasn't installed properly! So for anyone getting or planning to get an OS Giken twin, beware of dumbarse "mechanics" who don't realise the bolt sizes are different and just jam the clutch+flywheel in. My clutch and flywheel are completely destroyed now. The rivets on one of the plates had completely sheered off, and I'm told that potential disaster was imminent (ie flywheel flying out the car).
Luckily i didn't do many kms before i got it checked out, otherwise there could have been bigger damage.
so i guess: WTB new clutch+flywheel :\
ps, the work done on this car was by a 'reputable' workshop.

i had a similar problem with mine, hav a blitz twin, ripped it out today only to see one of the plates 'puck' snapped right off and must hav jammed between the friction plate and the stator. il post up pix tomorow, i would suggest taking the box out and having a look urself. if ur mechanically able to do it. otherwise send it to mechanic to do it, before it causes more damage.
all the best.

hmm interesting. I dont have the tools to do it myself, and i haven't had the time to take it anywhere yet. Need a mechanic that's around on the weekends!
But at the moment, it's gotten pretty bad. I tried to drive it a few days ago, just wasn't easy getting in and out of gears.
Do you have same size tyre / rim combo on all 4 corners?
Yeah i do. I used to have different wear on my fronts and rears so i thought that may have been the issue, but i got new tyres last week and it still does it

Overseas, i saw so many little yellow suzuki taxi's with GTR and NOS badges on them. You're not fooling me, buddy!

Hello
I've got an OS Giken twin on my car, and last year (i don't drive the car much) the clutch started making squealing and rattling sounds on top of the standard OS rattle. This whole time, the squeal/clattering sound happened at idle. If i pushed the clutch in a little bit, it'd stop, but i could still hear some light clattering. The sound was completely dependent on how much i pressed the clutch peddle. Recently, it started getting worse. The grip point on the clutch would be constantly varying randomly, ie, sometimes i could lift my foot off fully depressed by an inch, and it'd get drive, other times i'd have to lift off the pedal almost all the way and it'd then drive, but the rear end would shake and tramp.
On Monday, it started going downhill during a long drive (had to run around to clear defects!). Basically, it started randomly crunching whilst shifting. At one point i was shifting down into 2nd, and it just wouldn't go in. Then yesterday morning, i went to drive it with the plan to take it to the workshop on the way home from work, but it was totally screwed. I was reversing it out of the garage, then sitting there with the clutch in, still in reverse, about to reverse out of the driveway, when a fairly loud grinding sound started coming from the clutch/gearbox area and i couldn't get it out of reverse until i adjusted the amount of pressure i put on the clutch pedal. In this case, i lifted off a little bit and the grinding noise stopped, and it came out of reverse. Being persistent (and late to work), i thought "meh, she'll be right", and tried again, and again it started making the same noise. At this point, the thought of the car getting stuck on the way to work did cross my mind, but despite that, i said 'screw it', and lifted off the clutch a bit and it started getting drive and off i went. Reversed out of the drive way, and tried to put it into 1st - no go. Just wouldn't go in. So i gave up, neutral rolled it back into the drive way, and walked.
I've had 2 opinions given. Neither have driven or seen the car do this yet. But one says it's the gearbox, other says it's the throw bearing on the clutch. Gearbox being f*d never crossed my mind. I always thought it was to do with the clutch.
I hope my description is clear enough for you guys to provide me with some opinions?
Does driving a 32 GTR in RWD all the time have any negative effects? Reason i drive it in RWD is if i put the fuse in, it sends power to the front all the time no matter what, so i think there's something up with one of the sensors.
Also, when the car is off, it goes into every gear with ease.
Cheers

Hi,
Regrettably i have to sell my bike JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER................. :|
Anyways, it's a cute bike, and it makes the rider look like he's packing the same size as Peter North. It is indeed the ultimate panty dropper.
It's in immaculate condition, and does mad skids in the dirt. Has one tiny dint on the tank (you can see it in the close up pic), but chicks dig the rough, masculine look.
I'm putting up for a reasonable $6500 NEGOTIABLE. It's in Sydney, so it won't be a mission to go pick it up. It is Learner Legal. I've done about 1800kms since i got it back in Feb, and has a grand total of ~9800kms on it. I've done the the 10,000km service on it already, so it's ready to go. Also, it has Rego til December.
It's stock except for the Pro-Taper handle bars, B&B Bash plate, and also has an optional kickstart (it's got electric start too). I've only been off road a couple times with this bike, that's why it still looks so fresh and so clean, clean.
Enquire through PM, or phone (0413 614 050).
And on to the bike pr0n:

mine was a Ti. Ti for TiTs. Auto, white with mud stains, blue velour interior, had to park nose pointing downhill or else the car would flood in the rain.
Brilliant car.

Bled awd?
I had an issue similar to this, it ended up being burnt wiring near the rear turbo (from when i had the single)
awd's been bled.
burnt wiring ay? hmm ... might have a look at that.
-
There are numerous threads on this problem. The usual cause is the rear tyres having a smaller rolling diameter than the fronts.
i have all 4 tyres the same size.
4x 18x9.5" rims
4x 255/40/18 tyres

I got an R32 GTR, but as soon as i start driving, the front torque gauge goes up to 10 and sits in between 10-50 most of the time. It only drops to 0 when stationary.
I've been driving it in RWD since i got it back on the road because I'm worried i might be stressing the drivetrain somewhere.
Any ideas what could be up with it?

How do you twitch your leg and hit the accelerator at a set of traffic lights?
Sounds like the guy completely n00b'd it and is trying to make up excuses for his shit driving.
This guy should stay unlicensed. By this story alone, he's not fit to be behind the wheel of an automatic car.
Keep him off the road, thanks!
Ss & Xr8 Racing (beware)
in New South Wales
Posted
I got pulled over for an RBT + Defect on a saturday afternoon not long ago by an orange typhoon in Northmead.
But in terms of racing - i never race on the streets, and i always slow down if i see a current model ss/hsv/typhoon/xr6-8/etc.
I usually shake my head at any wanker trying to race me, and i'd love to come across an undercover cop revving at me with his borrowed car.
