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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
