Hey, I also have this noise...Only just figured out it was the clutch last night, also an exedy heavy duty that was installed by the previous owner...For me it happens between 1000-2000rpm in 2nd-above when applying throttle...Can anyone shed any light on how to get rid of this extremely annoying noise?

Its not the tail shaft?

Sometimes if you don't index the shaft in relation to the diff, it can upset it. It would have been off the same time the box and clutch was out.

Maybe try rotating it 180deg, if you still have the problem, its more then likely a clutch issue.

Hi All,

I also have an Exedy clutch and i'm experiencing the same problem!! Such a pain...

I think i will try taking the tail shaft out and rotating it 180 degrees and see what happens...

Has anybody else tried this?

come on guys, let put our heads together and try different things and see if we can get rid of this vibration....

If anybody happens to have any success, please let us know....

Actually, I just had a thought,

you mentioned the tail shaft IN RELATION to the diff??

I didn't actually take the tail shaft out at all.. I just slid it out when I took the tranny out...

does it matter how the tail shaft goes into the tranny??

Pretty sure mine is an exedy heavy duty organic clutch, not button style but it still has the shuddering noise...unless of course I'm wrong about what type of clutch I have (previous owner installed)..

How would I tell if mine's a button clutch? It drives just like a normal clutch, just a bit heavier, really easy in traffic...unlike many button clutches...

I have an organic excedy clutch bought from C & B from these forums in the group buy..

I havnt heard the noise before in my car.

However with those 3-5 puk clutches and those super super dooper heavy duty clutches you will experience those noises at lower rpms.. Its prefectly normal..

But for a simple clutch you shouldnt be hearin it..

when i used to have a standard clutch, it was fine with no shudder, but when it was almost worn out and dying, it did start to shudder when sliped. the longer the slip, the worse the shudder got.

shudder went away when i replaced the clutch

yeah. if its organic. it shouldnt' shudder. but the exedy ones a pretty renound for it.

dave you might remember my clutch had that shudder/chatter noise when i was sliping it at the workshop where you used to work

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
