My gtr does it and it is a pig of a job to do!!

I ain't tacking it that's for sure!!

to the op- there is a thread in the DIY section about a temporary solution to get the clutch dust out and quieten it down.

to Z1LLA- bring it round on a weekend and we can take it out and ill strip the starter down and give it a birthday. pref a sat morning incase we need to go get new brushes etc

Argh, I've got the same issue. I've pulled it out a few times and cleaned it out which seems to work well for a while, but eventually it comes back again.

The starater motor gear / flywheel ring gear on the bnr34 appears to be different to all other r32 - r34 skylines, I guess due to the dual mass flywheel, so you can't just pick up a spare easily and bolt it on either :(

Just got a quote from Ni$$an for a new unit; $1585 and a week or so wait from Japan.. I've got a feeling the bearing may be shot, I think I may pull it apart this weekend and try replacing it.

wow $1585 for a new starter motor, i just got mine done on Wed had it refurbished (re-grease + new brushes etc...) plus a 12 month warranty on the job/parts replaced only cost $209.00 (labour for removal/refit included). have you re-conditioned your one or did you just add grease to it? may be you could have a auto elect have a look at it next time you take it out.

but only time will tell with my one if the screeeeeech comes back or not.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
