Hey guys

got a rattling\rocking noise coming from my engine on idle...only seems to happen after it has been driven for a while...

thought it was the clear cam cover as when i put pressure on them the noise got quiter but all the bolts seem tight.

apart from that it all seems good. Any ideas as to possible causes? its a 34 gtr motor in a 32 gtr.

cheers

Aidan.

Hey Aidan, have you tried marking the CAS position and putting the OEM cam cover back on? When I originally put the clear cam cover on the teeth on the CAS were grinding because the clear cam cover is thinner than OEM, so I had to put some extra spacers on.

thanks for the reply dude.

yeah noticed that the lower bolts had rubber spacers that were not touching the cover so i threw some more on, made it slightly quiter but its still there...

didnt actually swap the covers over so ill give it a go when i get back home. Hopefully i can sort it before dome day.

bit scared about timing...kina like the wu tang clan, aint nothin to f**k with....

use a small screwdriver or blade to scratch the position of the bolt heads onto the cas before removal then do them up in the same spot. if ever in doubt set it slightly further clockwise until you can get a timing light on it.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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.
