Hi,

My R32 gtst makes a grinding/whiring kind of noise when i reverse.

It isnt as loud when the clutch is out in reverse but if i roll backwards

with the clutch in it gets real noisy.

Would it be the diff or the gearbox????

It seems to happen when the car hasnt been driven for a couple of hours and everything

goes cold. Once its warmed up and been driven round a bit it doesnt seem to happen.

Thanks

I had wrote up a very detailed explanation of the problem and how to solve it but some how i lost the whole post so... Simple solution is to remove your rear brake pads and file away the sharp leadign edge and reinsert them.

Hope this helps, cheers

yeah mate i have.

it started to make a noise a little while after i bought the car.

Its not the normal whine that a gearbox makes in reverse

its more of a grinding noise

HAHA. sory dude. i know the noise you mean. the bearings in the gearbox are worn. in paticular the small bearing on the sandwich plate.(counter shaft rear bearing)

firstly make sure the oil leval is corect.

does it make a knocking noise at idle in neutral?

i have seen the rear bearings fail because the oil "gutter" on the sandwich plate falls off. so the rear bearings get starved of oil.

but only in reverse. hmm. is it hard to select reverse?

I think that might be the problem as it only started after some heavy braking on the track and it only happens in reverse not when going forwards.

Ill have a look on the weekend if thats the problem

I thought it might be a bearing but it seemed weird it was only in reverse and that there is no trouble selecting reverse. I'm gonna change the g/box oil on the weekend too.

Thanks for the advice

I recently dropped in a s/h wrecker rb20det box.

It does EXACTLY this. Its quiet if the clutch is completely out when reversing, if you are rolling back with the clutch in it makes a nasty arsed noise.

Oil level is fine.

Apart from the strange reverse noise its the quietest rb20 box i've heard, no input shaft noise, no whine through the gears and shifts perfectly.

The diff does have a whine.

So your not alone.. Its 100% the same problem. :D

you might find the whirring noise to be the reverse gear itself. its a striaght cut "spur" gear.. physically sliding in and out of mest when selected... the other gears are always in mesh and the synchros connect them to the main and layshaft.. all manuals in reverse make a whirring noise in reverse.. don't worry too much about it i rekon anyway.... if your drivin a skyline.. why are you going backwards anyways? :)

Chriso....

Mine makes a horrid noise with the clutch in and rolling backwards.

Its definitely not the usual reverse gear noise you are talking about.

Have another read of the OPs post you will see his makes mention its really loud when the clutch is in and moving backwards.

Its not normal, mines still hanging in there so meh.. until it blows. If it does I'm considering auto... :)

Will work well with a slight shift kit and the rb30's off idle boost.

I know of an r33 running its stock auto that for some time was pushing 240-280rwkw on his stock auto, he's now up to 317rwkw running 25-26psi through his gt35r. :)

So the auto's appear to be quite tuff.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
