Alvin and Tony!

You guys bought your coilpacks from Amayama yet????

Think I need some as my stag just started misfiring/hesitating after about 4k..... it just happens every now and then though, could be coilpacks right guys?

Check coil packs or sparkplugs

Lol Aaron. You do realise that curries are at the wrong end of the scale with regard to average penis size. We aren't black brah.

I was going to let it slide.... but since you mentioned it...

It is likely your thrust bearing rattling around in a resting state; there is nothing wrong with this. They tend to do this a lot in Skylines, as the thrust bearing will sit fairly flush against the pressure plate, which moves it around on the input shaft retainer. The moment you put your foot on the clutch pedal, it puts enough pressure on the bearing to press it firmly against the pressure plate, making the outside of the bearing engage whilst the inside is held firm in place by the clutch fork. You can spray lithium grease inside (stay away from the clutch area) to quieten the rattle a bit, or you can try to adjust your clutch so that the resting state of the clutch fork doesn't have the bearing sitting as close to the pressure plate.

Yes changing pivot ball is box out. Unless you have some very special tools, a keyhole surgery camera and a f**kload of patience.

How do I do this?

I might try the grease option, or adjusting the pedal. Is it bad to have the bearing tight against the pressure plate all the time?

Try the grease first...that fixed my rattle sound. You basically want to grease the length of the input shaft retainer, because that's what the bearing is spinning around on and causing the rattle sound. You can adjust the pedal in the driver footwell, or by grinding some material off your slave cylinder pushrod / putting in a smaller rod.

As in simulatIng your foot resting on the pedal? It's not lethal, but also not fantastic for the bearing over time. There's no heavy weight on the ball bearings inside, but the bearing is not meant to be taking load 24/7...so it will likely reduce the life of the bearing...but it's a bit like saying it'll last you 100,000km instead of 150,000km.

I think my NPC bearing is fairly firmly pressed against the pressure plate and it has worn it a bit...I can feel it through the pedal. I have a hydraulic issue causing this though; the resting clutch fork pressure increases as the system heats up or climate becomes warmer.

Unless the rattle is very loud, it's nothing to worry about. As said, all Skylines do it. Grease will quieten it for a bit and you may have to do it again every oil change or so.

See? Pretty self explanatory

I find it funny that the whitest people on this forum are also the blackest, lol you birds and ric..

:rofl:

We all black...when the lights go out...

And pink on the inside...

Ah ok, thanks for that! I don't mind having to reapply, anything to shut the damn thing up.

If the grease doesn't fix it I'll just push the pedal down further, my motor will probably let go before the bearing does lol

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
