Chirping On Take Off?

guys,

recently my car has been making chirping sounds everytime i take off in first gear or if i take off in second it sometimes chirps. so far the only way i can escape this annoying sound is buy tapping the accelerator while engaging the first gear. i was running 225s and thought i did not have enough traction so i went wider to 245s (hankook rs2) but still chirps. anyone know why it could be chirping?

i do have a brass button clutch if this helps any - the sound started after this installation but after a few months so i could not be sure if this was my problem.

hey mate know ur problem... i got a brass button clutch in mine... when an unco drives it they chirp up and down gears 1st, second, 3rd, 4th.... its not good for your driveline and puts extra strain on everything..... allow for the clutch because they bite really hard..... be softer with your left foot and take your time... take off with low revves and correct your gear changes... u will accustom to the brass button soon just take time and care and allow for it.

try not to ride it either otherwise it will chew out quick

i dont launch it though. when i get off in first gear it revs about 1k and no higher. i have to take off as if the revs in idle or even less and that is not easy unless i tap the accelerator. also it has only happend a few months after i changed clutch driving it exactly the same way so i never had this problem before. if it is the clutch then i guess i can wait till friction occurs and then accelerate. need to learn how to drive manual again!

My girlfriends car does this actually. Its a high pitched squeak, almost sounds like your starting to do a burnout each time you take off?

After some troubleshooting we have basically put it down to a stuffed thrust bearing OR the shaft that the bearing sits on being dry (ie the people who replaced the clutch didnt grease it).

We think this because if you squirt some wd40/silicone spray in through the clutch fork hole and aim it at the input shaft then the noise will go away for a day or so.

Not a massive problem but its a box off job to fix properly. None of the spray on shit weve tried seems to hang around long.

NEW CLUTCH eahy...

LOL! You probley got lazy and got use to how the old clutch works. With new clutch, its very "Catchy" friction point hits as soon as you lit ya left foot up. You gota re-work your left foot and practice getting a good control over it.

:)

I know cuz I switch back to a Nissan GTR single plate and the thing catches compared to my HKS Twin Plate which was total burnt.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
