Now and then at low revs I get a very strong vibrating/rubbery grinding sound coming from the rear left side of my R33. Some say it could be related to the muffler/exhaust but I can't see what's wrong. This only happens after 5 or so minutes of driving, usually when I take off from a red light - it's not something that happens as soon as I've started the car and started to drive off. It's very random, as in it doesn't happen all the time I'm at low revs either. Anyone got a clue?

Could be anything really from exhaust to suspension i would check all the bushes and that around the area check that the exhaust isnt hitting anything, and make sur eits not something simple like something moving in your boot or your spare!

I have the same thing dude, im pretty damn sure it is a bad join somewhere on the muffler/catback.

It seems like the same problem, i start the car with no noise but its like after 5 mins or so when the metal has warmed up i get the knocking rumble coming from the left hand rear corner. I'm replacing my entire exhaust system tomorrow so i shall tell you what i find as i pull things off.

Just a tip tho, after say a half hour drive park in ur drive way and keep the car idling and get someone to go give the muffler a not so gentle wiggle with their foot while you sit inside the car, positive you will hear the same noise. This set my mind at ease when i was thinking it was suspension related!

Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
