R34 Gearbox Rattling After New Heavy Duty 6 Puck Install

so ive purchased my self a new custom made clutch with a r33 gtr pull type pressure plate with 4200lbs pressure and a 6 puck carbotics clutch plate with standard flywheel.

now before i had standard clutch with no noises etc, although now with the new clutch install it seems to be making a rattling noise which intensifies and minimises at its own will (noise is only during idle with clutch either in or out)

its a rattling noise and i have been told by the (company) who built the clutch that its due to my r34gtt having a getrag gearbox and also due to the 6 puck clutch plate or something...

now ill be honest as much as i want it to handle the power and control thereof i also dont want to lose the prestige luxury of a quite sports car on idle.

now has anybody had the same issues and is this getrag thing right??

ive head r34 gtr gearbox's has the same issues with aftermarket clutch's

has anybody overcome it? if so how..

btw the company who has made the clutch is going to try and find a way to get rid of the noise but may come at a comprimise of losing the 6 puck clutch and going to standard carbon with heavier pressure plate.

i as told differently by jim berry.from race clutch queensland.

r34 GTR is the only box that gets noisey. The R34 GTT bos is the same as R33, we use the R34 GTT boxes in the drift car as they are always lower KMS..

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
