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)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
