Wierd Tapping Noise

Ok Ive done a search on tapping noises but I dont think they could answer my question. So yeah, I did a full block rebuild on my 33 at the start of the year, also had the clutch replaced.

About a month ago it was making a tapping noise from the rocker cover, so i took it back to the rebuilders when it was due for a service and they told me it was something touching one of the belts, they fixed it and it went away.

But I've noticed a different tapping noise recently, more noticable at cold start and only at idle.

The wierd thing is that when I place my foot on the clutch, even very slightly, the noise completely disappears. If I step the clutch in, theres no noise.

Now Im not too worried about it but it is annoying and I dont want it to become something bigger than it is.

Is this pointing towards my clutch having problems? I replaced my old one with an Exedy heavy duty 6 months ago. I feel like if my clutch pedal could be adjusted even slightly to push in, the noise wouldnt be there but i hav no idea how to get that done.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ben

Ben, bring your car around and I'll have a listen. Does your engine idle speed change at all when you do the clutch thing to stop the noise?

If so, it could be a resonance at a certain engine speed.

If not, then I would say your thrust bearing is on it's way out, or an idler bearing in the gearbox.

      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.
