Hey guys,

My names Josh and got my 1st 01 m35 yesterday. All is going good but i have this little niggle. It may be nothing but i have had it on full boost then when i let my foot off the accelerator, there is this like crunch sound/ feel under my foot. It doesn't do it all the time just every now and then. Any ideas guys. Just not hoping its much.

Get under the dash and check out the condition of the throttle cable, make sure its not slightly frayed and making that sound. Also WD40 the linkages too and see if that shuts them up :D

That'd be a good start ... eliminate them as being possible problems if anything.

good advice, except M35s dont have a throttle cable

they have a potentiometer attached to the pedal. apparently early V35s had problems where this would wear out.

but like Ruby said, stick your head under there and have a listen to where its coming from

keep an eye on it. if youre backing off the throttle from hard acceleration, it might be a worn or dry bush in the front suspension that is making it happen.

Alex, you like that huh? thats its actual name. its a variable resistor :ermm:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
