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

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
