Gearbox Bearing Noise

recently installed a heavy duty clutch to my rb25de.

I have been bedding it in by driving it work, in traffic. its pretty harsh on the road.

after one trip to work and back, there is now a bearing noise (metallic grinding noise). its not related to the clutch at all but rather to the speed of the car.

stopped there is no noise, but once you start moving, whether its in neutral or in gear, the noise is there. most noticeable at low speed.

i'm thinking maybe output driveshaft bearing? the noise does not change with gear selection, so im hoping its not anything too important.

i have a race even this weekend. is this problem going to kill my gearbox?

cheers

although i havent heard the noise in ur car it sounds exactly the same as what i have, only started a week ago after a long drive, i have and rb25de box on and rb20det, my mechanic seems to think it isnt a huge issue and is possible something to do with the gear selector. will be interesting to see how urs turns out.

by the way how do i check the gearbox oil level?? i have been looking for a dipstick or something and no luck, could even be low oil?

im having an interesting situation, i dropped the cltuch a while back and peddle got stuck coming out, then could smell the organic face of the clutch burning. Now it feels slightly hard to get into second sometimes. clutch is not slipping, however peddle distance is different. I'm guessing it related to syncho's? Ideas? sorry to hi-jack thread. hame!

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
