Hey Guys need a bit of help with my car Any ideas

when i viewed and test drove the car it was in perfect condition

After buying the car i took it home and the clutch seemed really high so i took it to the mechanic and he said it was the clutch cable so he replaced it and it still wasnt right, it was worse then it was before. The seller told me it was a new clutch so i got the cable adjusted now it seems O.K but when i put the clutch in it sounds like something is spinning against metal :( if that makes sense but if u take ur foot off the pedal and put it back on it normally goes away

Also ill be driving at a steady speed and suddenly the whole car will shudder like its miss firing or something but i checked the spark plugs and theyre all fine. so i ran some injector cleaner through the engine still seems to be doing it

id really appreciate ur input its got me stumped

anyone else had ne probs like these?

i can hear it from outside and i can kinda feel it on the pedal. its scary

well ive had a mechanic look at the clutch itself he sed it was fine

my car has 177000 on it.

also when the guy adjusted my clutch he sed a rod in the gear box had to be lubricated.

ahhh ok but did u ever have the metal spinning noise thats the thing im most worried about and the shuddering lol the pedal squeaking is the least of my problems LOL the shuddering is prolly the most important tho coz it affects my driving

if the clutch is aftermarket and heavier, it may be shuddering because you aren't taking off cleanly enough.

I had one of the most beefcake clutches and alloy flywheel in my N14, I had to get it cleanly off the line otherwise it would shudder a little. Could be what you're experiencing.

nah the clutch isnt after market im pretty sure its standard and the shuddering doesnt happen when im taking off it happens like when im driving normal like on a free way or something all of a sudden

i just looked at a post similar on pulsar.org he sed that the rear engine mount bracket was broken, and he had the grinding as well, he replaced the bracket but it didnt go away, so he replaced the clutch cable and the noise went. but i put a new cable in it less then 3 weeks ago.

Thrustbearing.

I did my clutch in my R33 2 weeks ago, and I had the screeching sound when I had my foot on the clutch, took it for a spin around the block (a rather 'spirited' spin), by the time I got back, the noise was gone, never to be heard from again. I think it is just the new thrustbearing wearing in against the clutch plate.

The thrustbearing is on the input shaft of your gearbox. It would be a reasonablly big job to do yourself, unless you have the right tools (like access to a hoist). It should go away by itself, but if it doesn't go away, then you may need to have a look at it, probably just needs a little grease.

ahhhh that helps alot coz when i got the clutch cable adjusted the guy sed put wd40 down a shaft in the gearbox or something, and my friend did it for me while i was moving the clutch in and out but it didnt help, but it was a bit of a half arsed job LOL mad ill give that a go if not i do have access to a hoist n that, my friends a mechanic so ill find out if he will do it for me. i think the trust bearing would be fairly new since i got told it was a new clutch wen i bought the car and if the thrust bearing is included in the clutch kit.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
