Car Noise - R32 Gtr

[Fishpaste~]

hey,

my GTR is making some noises which the guys at boosworx say are normal for a GTR to make... only problem with that is, when i first purchasedt the car, they didnt exist and only started to appear after an SAU cruise

i was wondering if there were any GTR owners around the place (preferable south of the CBD) that would be kind enough to meet up with me somewhere so that i could have a listen to your car ideling with the bonnet up just for my own peace of mind

either that or confirm that the attached sound file is the normal sound a GTR should make

thanks for your help

hey

i listened to your sound file.

GTR's make loud lifter noises as they have a bucket and shim arrangement so they are noisy at idle also ive noticed they have a prenouned injector pulse noise too

this sound could be either of those two

the noise does sound very loud compared to mine and all my mates GTR's so you could have a problem there either some head issues or something top end

yes it is a std GTr noise but should be checked out by a compression test to see if valves are leaking or something

id be glad to meet up and hepl you but i do live north east of city mate

hope it helps

If I turn the volume down it doesnt sound to bad...

Iam South of the city mate so if you want to meet up to check give me a call tonight or anytime tomorrow.

like someone mentioned it sounds a tad louder than normal, but that all depends on recording etc...

i had to listen to a mates 32 GTR cos he was concerned about a noise. was simular but a bit more knocky. turned out to be a bottom end bearing spun.

thats not meant to scare you! hehe. youd know if it was!

as a fellow 32 gtr owner i feel compelled to respond, even though i have nothing of value to add

You've now gotten me paranoid about my engine noise

Although mine has been that loud since I've had it and no workshop has said anything was strange with it.

[hanyou]

that sounds pretty loud, mine is loud too but its more of the fan noise and not a tapping one

[Sinful]

Yep I have that noise but yours sounds louder

Does it drive ok? Cause you would know if there was something wrong with it..

I agree tho get it compression tested

[Hotwire]

How did it compare to others fishpaste~ ?? Any cause for concern or not?

Just thinking, have you changed the oil at all since the noise started? It does sound like noisy lifters, perhaps the oil used is not the right viscosity causing it to be louder (not sure if you would need runnier or thicker oil)?? Just a thought

[boostd_r32_gurl]

checked it all last night against 2 gtrs, same noise, same loudness so I guess its nothing to worry about.

ahhh nice one

a good point of the oil change though if it aint been done in a while id change it

possibly will quiet'en it down

i use and recoment motul 15/50 300v crono fully synthetic

pure ester

its the bomb all skylines and GTR's i know run it and they love it

compeltely depends on the recording, obviousl the closer u record to the source of the problem the more pronounced its going to be. when u stand at ur engine bay u arnt very close to the engine, really need to hear it in real life.

Exactly, I had a listen to it last night and sounded no where near as loud as the recording. Was as loud as mine and my mates GTR as well. The car had an oil change 2 weeks ago from memory not sure what brand/viscosity though.

yep there seems to be a few on here, now that everyone has been made paranoid of there engine noises we will have to organise a r32 gtr cruize in the coming weeks so that we can all compare engine noizes & sound levels.

[Fishpaste~]

lol, i hope i havent made you all paranoid, but like i've explained a billion times, i could swear the noise wasent their when i first got the car, all it did was purr. i have caught up with a few guys since posting this and every car makes the exact same noise, so its all good, nothing to worry about!!! =)

and yes, i changed oil probably 3 weeks ago now to some nice motul 300v, and i got shaun to do a power run checking mixtures etc and a leak down test while it was in at boostworx and everything came up fine.

so thank you all, my confidence in both boostworx and my car has been restored, and yeah, would be keen to meet up with a few more of you at some point =P

PS> are other people keen on a GTR cruise? im sure it wouldnt be hard to organise
