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

mike

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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
