Hey guys,

Pretty new to the scene and very overprotective of my car hehe just need some help to calm my paranoid mind about my car...

I got 92 R32 GTR and i get this loud mechanical sound upon acceleration at low rpm which almost sounds like its coming from the middle of the car. Usually happens when im 2nd gear and going over a speed bump then accelerate once i've gone over it, as well as driving around a car park or at low speeds in street the noise comes on accelration and then after about 2k rpm the sound just dissappears. Took it to a mechanic and they said everthing is fine and its just a common sound from the gearbox and its normal. Still i find the noise loud and annoying and was wondering if it could be something else such as cv joint or diff. Was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?

Also had a new Bosch 044intank installed and the car doesnt wanna start as nicely as it did before the swap (spark plugs? battery?)any ideas on this would be a big help

Many thanks

R32s are awesome, of course you are protective ^_^.

Sounds like the transfer case, may need some more fluid. Get your mechanic to check it out (common problem in R32 GT-Rs I believe). When it gets very low it will make a sloshing sound so I don't think yours is serious if much more than normal :) so don't stress. The other possibility is the clutch engagement but without being more specific on the sound I would be inclined to think the first is what you are hearing.

As opposed to Walbro, Nismo, stock fuel pumps the 044 doesn't keep fuel pressure when car is switched off (I forget the exact reason). With that pump all you need to do is let the fuel line prime for 1-2 seconds before you crank the engine. You'll learn to hear the sound when the fuel reaches the fuel rail.

also in regards to the sound possibly being a clutch issue, i have recently installed a 4000 pound heavy duty single plate clutch. to be honest the sound is a bit hard to describe but i would definitely say its a rough mechanical turning sound almost shuddering. dont know if it will help, but yea

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
