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

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

yeah sounds like i noize i hear in mine just louder, id be happy to meet up with ya but im a north boy as well

so ill leave this pointless post at that

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

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

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

mikle

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, just had mine running, that sound is a whole lot louder. Didnt know there were that many R32 GTR's on the site lol :thumbsup:

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.

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

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
