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)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
