Possible Clutch Or Flywheel Noise. Let Me Know If This Sounds Right.

Hey Guys,

At the moment when I turn the car there is no noise at first but as soon as it warms up a tiny bit this grinding noise appears when the car warms up fully the noise seems to quieten down and even subside. The car is usually stationary when this happens.

The grinding type noise is coming from underneath the car around the clutch/clutch fork area. You can audibly hear it.

I was just wondering whether this could be a fly wheel issue. The noise is definetly coming from underneath (around the middle of the car) not the engine or the wheels.

Just hoping some of you have had this kind of thing appear. I have taken it to the mechanic but the car did not make the noise then. Which was really annoying.

does it change when you apply the clutch?? does it change if its in 1st or neutral?? most likely a bearing in that area.. throwout being the most obvious, input shaft being next.

I havent noticed any change when the clutch is in.

"most likely a bearing in that area.. throwout being the most obvious, input shaft being next."

If it is this how much would this bring me back money wise??

When I put the clutch to friction and reverse the car out of the garage it sometimes becomes louder. The noise is tempermental though which is annoying. Also in neutral it goes louder and silent then louder and silent. Once warm usually dissapears.

sounds like a throwout bearing... $20 for the bearing, but the gearbox has to come out.. so if your not handy with tools and have an area to work in.. you'll need a mechanic with a hoist to get it out.. changing the bearing takes 2 min with the box out.

Whats the best way to determine if it is infact a throwout bearing??

Does the box have to come out completely?? Thats going to cost a fortune isnt it for such a inexpensive part.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
