R32 Gtr - Transmission Problems

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight into what may be the problem with my r32 gtr.

I was driving it over the weekend and it started making a loud knocking sound which sounded like it was coming from around the middle of the car. The sound appeared after driving the car normally (wasn't booting it) and it would increase in frequency the quicker I was driving. After pulling over the sound would stop and it wouldnt make any noise from just revving the car.. Only when I was rolling or moving...

So after this I started to head home about 5 mins later the sound disappeared.. After driving the car since this happened I havent heard the sound again.. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be? I was thinking uni joints but I am probly way off..

Cheers,

Mitch.

Yea, sound was happening whether clutch was pushed in or out.

Just seems weird, I have been driving car for days now since sound occured (happened on Saturday) and it hasnt re occured at all, I am just a little worried as it was a very loud noise so obviously something is wrong, just dont know where to look.

So it was only making the noise while the car was moving??

Didnt matter if the clutch was in or out??

The noise changed as the speed got greater or less??

The noise stopped when you stopped moving??

Sounds like you may have picked up some crap in your tyres or possibly got something caught in the driveshaft that has since parted company with your vehicle if the noise is no longer present.

this is a great trick in the workshops... Wack a rubber band around the tailshaft with a nut on it. As the speed increases the nut flies further from the tailshaft tilll it eventually start "tapping" against stuff. When ya stop and look under the rubber band has contracted and you cant see it on the tailshaft. :P

Yea it was only making the noise whilst moving, didnt matter if clutch was in or out, and the noise sped up as I was moving faster (noise was probly louder when driving slow), noise was there whether in gear or in neutral and rolling and yes noise completely stopped whilst I was not moving.

I once had had a screwed diff / uni's in my old car and the noise was much like that, although it didnt sound like this noise was coming from as far back as the diff...

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
