R34 Gt-t Problem

Hey,

The other day I took my R34 GT-T for a spin with a couple of the boys from the ACT,

it was all well and fun and full off speeding around corners as you do. etc.

but now when my revs are around about 1100rpm-1500rpm when the car is actually moving

I hear a small rattle from somewhere up the back. I think it might be the diff, but I haven't noticed

any other problems like it being any slower or any worse for wear.

Has anyone else experienced this sound its kind of like a buzzing/rattle, metal on metal and has a brrrrrrr sound but whiny.

That's probably the best I can describe it. I'm taking it to a mechanic tomorrow but I thought I'd check up on here to

see if anyone had any idea what it might be and what its gonna cost me.

Cheers, Dean.

don't use 5th at 60kmh.

as for what it is, it could be 1 or many things. could be something loose in the boot (jack, etc) or something down one of the side passages of the boot. it could be the diff, it could be a diff mount, etc. the list is rather long of possible causes.

What kind of clutch are you using? I have the same noise as well and I"m using twin plates clutch

I think it could be thrust bearing on the way out. The sound disappear after you've gone past 1500

rpm isn't it? IMO I think it's okay to cruise in 5th gear at 60km/h, saves me more fuel :D

that really depends. in a turbo car, with their lack of torque at that sort of revs, the moment you come to the slightest incline, or even hit a headwind, you will end up using more fuel than if you were in 4th. i've done tests in my pulsar (natro sr20) using a consult cable and program and the difference in fuel used between 4th and 5th on dead flat ground cruising at 60kmh was 0.5L/100kms, however the moment you get to the slightest incline, or have to accelerate after slowing down a bit, 4th gear is more economical as you can use a lower throttle percentage. in a turbo car where there is much less torque at the lower revs i'd say that this would be even worse. remember that fuel economy isn't just based off revs, it more has to do with throttle percentage. you can be in 5th gear at 2000rpm with your foot flat to the floor and use more fuel than being in 3rd gear at 4000rpm using 20% throttle

It still has the factory clutch, but it stops after you accelerate past that, I took it

to the mechanic to day and he said that because the exhausts have a heat shield around them

sometimes rocks get stuck in there and can make a rattle, because when you don't press the

accelerator to hard while at a standstill it makes no noise but when you give it a bit, you hear the rattle

but i always hear it around 1400rpm no matter what gear I'm in. So i'm not really sure the stock exhaust

is being replaced with a full 3' in 2 weeks so if it's how the mechanic said then the rattling should stop.

Fingers crossed.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
