Hey guys, im new to the forums here, i recently swapped my Evo 6(dont judge me lol) for a r32 GTR.. amoung the list of stuffed needed to be repiared is this wierd sound i can hear when above 80km/hr now this noise is only on deceleration or when coasting with very light throttle..no other time, It sounds like a dry bearing/ metal guide grinding...Now i have checked gearbox and diff fluid and they are all good, Checked to make sure no guides are rubbing like exhaust and tailshaft and i cant see anything...

This noise is not everytime eather most of the time but not every.. now if i put the clutch in while coasting or decelerating the noise goes away? clutch was done 2months ago with a heavy duty unkown brand as ABS mechanical did it which was before i got the car, receipt jsut says Nissan clutch (lol)

I have no idea what it could be, ive been doing alot of reading and some one will say rear output bearing, then others say input bearing and could be crown and pinion bearing in the diff...where should i start??

Ok last night i fully replaced the oil on the gearbox, and i found a metal plate attached to the magnetic drain plug... Harts transmission in brendale has told me this part is NOT important as it is only designed to slow the oil down under hard breaking and fast accelerating, I was thinking hmm ok then why do they put it in there then??.. but anyway the noise is still there, I have been reading that the brake pads can cause a similar rattling noise to what i am hearing? any1 heard of this? I am yet to go on the high way yet to see if the rattle is still there under light braking while coasting, will post back once i have done so.

Dude I had something very similar in my R32 GTR with over 500rwkw. Thought it was gearbox. The noise would go away with the clutch in and on deceleration. You know what it was ? My front diffs' crown wheel and pinion gear were totally rooted. The gears were that sharp you could shave with them. Have a look at your front diff mate, put the car on the hoist and you'll pick it. I have one here if needed too.

not intending to commandeer the thread, but ive had a similar problem occur to me today on my way home from work, but its a squealing noise almost like a break pad rubbing on the rotor, and its on and off as if its a particular section being affected, its only during cruising speeds and deceleration, so not when accelerating and you can hear at low as 10km/h around the street. my car is a r32 gtst, and ive had diff clunking when its being engaged, ever since i put in some alloy rear cradle bushes. am i up for a new diff?

hope you get your car sorted out too Skizza

?hey guys thanks for the info, I have pulled the front diff out and had it checked, and turns out the isnt even 5000kms on it...they said they can still see the forming patterns on the teeth, and the bearings are brand new... I put the car back together and took it to Hart Transmissions in Brendale and they said it sounds like the clutch aswell as tailshaft chatter.. the clutch is a heavy duty exedy or extreame..i think? the clutch cover is a pink colour so i assume its those brands?.. and they tailshaft chatter well i wonder if the rear cradle bushes and rear diff bushes will help solve that? i found out the rear diff mounts are boned there is no rubber left on them and same with the rear cradle, and i also noticed the drivers side CV comming out of the diff is leaking diff fluid and it moves up and down :S which isnt good imo haha. So i think i might have to take the rear diff out and check it over too.. I'll post a update once i find out

Ohh BTW the noise sounds like a BURRRRRRRRR with a squeel to it but now its only from 110km/hr and up most of the time

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
