Hi, i get a rattling sound -I think its coming from my exhaust- at about 40k's.. when im revving it.....

when its on neutral it doesnt make the sound, only when im driving... i recently got my cat converter replaced so its not that, my muffler replaced (i thought it was that but it wasnt) so now i have no idea what it is and my mechanic doesnt know either.. any ideas? thanks

You would think itd be something like that, theres not much else it could be if its comming from lower areas near the exhaust :S

You said you replaced the cat and wasnt that, did they check the piping from the extractors etc? maybe something isn't holding/stuck there.

But the word rattling in general is quite broad without hearing the noise for ourselves...is it a deep rattling noise? A tinny rattling?

I don't know much myself but if it doesn't happen when your idling but happens around 40km/h and continues it could just be that a section of piping is loose and not held in place properly, and when more pressure is passing through, the noise therefore occurs??

I could be waaaay off the mark. Goodluck hope you get it resolved soon!

mines doing the same aswell and its a r33 like all of you, i sware it comes from the gear box........

i think it is bearings somewhere that are worn down?

the sound and where its coming from sounds like a bearing, are all of you getting the same rattle from the gearbox thats really deep at 1500rpm and once it hits 2000rpm its more of a quiet tin rattling sound then stops after 2000rpm.

anyone confirm that they think its bearings now

I'm getting the exact same problem in my R33 SI GTS-T..

I just finished installing a FMIC (which was a bitch, damn clamps flying off) and only just started noticing it now that I'm listening extra carefully..

I did some diagnostic and noticed that if I push my clutch in while it's rattling the rattling immediately stops. I was in second gear, stock ECU.

if it stops when you put the clutch in it could be the trust bearing but id be dam soprised if you could hear that making noise while ur actually driving! when sitting there ideling you can normally pick it because it will sound like something mechanical rattling around and when you push the clutch in it stops.

but i doubt it would be a thrust bearing.

changing the clutch and all components of the clutch soon (after my 50thou rebuild is back together in a week :P ) so ill soon be able to see if it helped me or if its a problem that nothing to do with manual and auto differences. it might be the cat r the muffler because there relatively close to the gearbox to be mistaken because its just a crazy noise =\

i got the same problems, with the stock muffler it was loud on take off. it rattle hard.

thought it was a broken muffler so i got a a cannon it was still there wasnt that loud tho. i was thinking it was the cat or the resonant

seriously its going to be the clutch or gearbox. THE SOUND IS A DEAD BEARING!!!!!!! thrust bearing probity auto or manual i guess its got to be the same component, that is if were are getting that noise that we all say we have. someone take phone and record it. my car has no engine in it at the moment because of mods so i cant :)

I think you will find that only manuals have a thrust bearing as it only works when with the clutch, i know the noise im talking about is not the thrust bearing as that is making a different noise :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
