Hey guys,i test drove a 1995 r33 GTS-t today and i got to admit it was fun but the only thing i didn't like was when you would take off in first (i didnt try takeing off in any other gears). the engine (not to sure if it cam from the engine it sounded like it came from the left hand side of the car) would make a rattling noise it was really bad, would any body be able to help.

Best regards Vlad Adam

would it only do it with the clutch either in or out. it may be that the clutch is noisey (either the springs on the clutch plate or one of the bearings).

When i start to de-press the clutch, and take off it woiuld start to do it and then continue till i would change to second or boost would kick in, but it would not do it when the car was heated up.

If it's under any kind of load a 'rattle' like marbles in a tin is our good chinese friend 'ping'. If it's a sound coming from the 'left side of the car thats consistant with Mr Ping.

Mr Ping is visiting with his good friend 'Too much base timing'.

Make a mark on your CAS to see where you started with a marker pen, losen the bolts so you can rotate it. Get out your trusty Timing light take a few degrees of base timing out at idle, tighten it back up and see if it fixes the noise. In the mean time DONT try to make that sound anymore. If it means not driving you car till you can do this then so be it. RB25's 9:1 compression doesn't make for forgiving ringlands under boost with ping.

See how you go. It's not uncommon as an issue.

from what i could see when i was taking a look at the car it's pritty much standerd, exept a blow-off -valve, a fool 3 and 1/2 inch exhaust system. and boost controler (valve type). some1 did mention that it was the intercooler pipings and now that i think of it the guy had aftermaket pipings, but a stanerd intercooler. so would that be it!!

And it was like a vibration with a lill bit of a rattle! (im sorry i cant really put a finger on it my haring is not that good so i had to get a trust worthy friend to come with me when i did then test drive, i could hear it but not that clear, im just going off what he explanied it like)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
