Hi all,

New to this board but enjoying reading through eveything!!

I have an r33 Gts-t Series 2. Std clutch as far as i know, bought it 2nd hand locally nothing in the receipts to say its been touched.

P/O ran Royal Purple syth gearbox oil.

With the clutch engaged (foot to the floor) quiet as a mouse- but

With the clutch disengaged (foot off) there is a rattling noise coming from the bellhousing/ gearbox area. As soon as i depress the clutch again the noise stops immediately.

The noise has become louder in the last month or so (i probably drive it harder than the P/O did)

There is also some shudder when pulling away under low revs or when i ride it a bit too much (been there since i bought it about 2 months ago)

Im thinking its the release bearing or something that is rattling but would like to know if anyone else has had similar probs.

Cheers all,

Chris

Going to answer my own post- I found another topic on this and it looks like its the mainshaft bearing-

Is it going to be worthwhile to have it replaced or wait until i replace the clutch?

Is there a risk of it seizing/ damaging something else?

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
