Hey guys,

A mate of mine has a car similar to mine and when the motor vehicle is cold mostly and reversing out of garage with the clutch a little bit under friction point the underneath of the car begins to shudder and goes away with clutch is pushed in. When doing it again while accelerating it does not do it.

Once warm its pretty much fine. Any ideas?

Thought it could be the clutch even though it doesn't slip, could this have something to do with gearbox? Not too sure if anyone has experienced something similar I could try and arrange a video if need be.

There is also a strange slight scraping/scratching/rattling type noise which comes from underneath the car near the gearbox area when the motor vehicle is turned on and warming up this may have something to do with it but no idea. If anyone has experienced this it would be good to know what it is also.

Cheers

i have this problem too.. but when taking off in 1st when its cold... i think its the clutch because depending on the way you give the clutch, it happens.. if you rev it abit and let the clutch out, it doesnt happen.. not 100% tho

I get that too. It almost feels like a 5puk clutch that is trying to slip. Or it feels like my ITR did with my 5puck solid center.

I think its just the way we drive, not enough rev? too much slip? Could be anything :bunny:

Does he have a standard clutch or aftermarket?

My heavy duty clutch does a similar shudder noise at low rpm's. But it just needs a little more rpm i think.. i have heard numerous noises from other peoples cars with heavy clutches so I think its normal.

The clutch is standard from what I know.

Will try and get a video with sound to give you guys an idea.

Same as me, stock clutch/pressure plate. So id say its just a driving issue. It will be fine :) (or not an issue.. just whatever)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
