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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
