Hi Guys

Last night i gave my R33 A quick and hard gear change from 1st-2nd causing the car to step out a tinybit but once i got home when the car was idleing in my garage i could hear a small funny noise then I put my foot on the clutch and the noise go's away. foot off the clutch comes back.. did i damage my Throw out bearing or is this normalish for Skylines??

thanks :)

Sounds like you have a main shaft bearing noise there, when you push the clutch in the main shaft is not turning so the noise stops .

the thrust bearing noise would be when you put load on it ( that is clutch pushed in ) .

Is this something to be concerned about? i wasnt hoping to touch my G/B for a little while..

your clutch can not have a noise if your foot is not on the pedal, its spinning as an entire assembly locked up to the flywheel and front of the gearbox assembly.

wrxhoon is 100% correct on theory of operation and diagnosis.

if its only there when the pedal is not pressed in, its either normal noise from the gearbox (they all make a bit), or the input shaft bearing is worn/noisy or its the gears on the input and cluster gears have the hard casing worn off the teeth and thus causing excessive noise.

not worth worrying about really if you know you have the correct oil and amount in the box, all you can do is add some nulon g70 gearbox/diff additive to quiten it down a little bit.

and to add to this Bearings have a grumble not a whine , also the gears dont always wear the can stretch and flaten out and this also causes a niose .. Its extremly common on all gtr all the ones i have ever driver have made it lol

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
