i have searched these forums and couldnt find what im after.

the last week or so ive been having this blackboard scratch/type sound on sold starts, sort of sounds like as if someone is scratching a black board.

it sounds like the enging is struggling abit to rev when i turn it on, and its not my turbo because ive heard this sound on n/a cars too.

it only happens in the mornings and after work.

its a r33 rb25det.

thanks

Hey i think im having simular sounds... like it sounds like its struggling to start up?> it could be cold... thats why... only when its cold start it does that yer? like its chugging up? If you could put a sound on youtube.. it would be good.

Obvious guys.

Struggling to start? Noise after it starts?

Your starter motor is on its way out and its weak. The gear is not retracting after it starts the car thats where the noise comes from. Change your starter motor. Do it yourself and save money.

yeah after doing abit more research ive come to the conclusion it is the starter,

a more detailed description od the sound is; it sound like you turn the key in your ignition when the car already is started and it grinds.

gonna get another starter and replace it myself, from what i hear its not the hardest thing to change, ill have a look first though, thanks guys.

REDGTT is on the ball.

def the starter motor not retracting.. well the relay. Happens to me too. Happens to my mate with an R as well. No biggy unless the sound is VERY loud, then you need to pay some attention.

What i do is that I crank it a few times without letting it start.. then start her up and the noise wont happen.. or will but very little. Not a fix but will reduce the noise.

  • 2 weeks later...
mines been doing it for 2 years...still does it and i still dont care.. :O ..as long as it starts

just out of interest how much did a starter motor set you back

i payed 70 bucks for mine, but ive seen them cheaper after i bought mine, second hand that is..

put it on your self and youll save a bit of money there.

also gave me a chance to check my car over for leaks or anything out of the ordinary while the car was over the pit.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
