So I replaced my ceramic button clutch with a streetable heavy duty organic.

In the process I replaced the spiggot but did not replace the input shaft bearing

(I think that's right, when I depress the clutch stationary it gets noisy as hell, clutch in quiet)

My question is what will happen if this bearing goes unchanged for a while?

I won't be able to pull the gear box out gain any time soon. What will the actual effects be? Or will it just be noisy? It's loud but I feel no actual effects.

If it is the input shaft bearing, if you keep driving it the bearing will eventually collapse and quite possibly wreck a gear or 2 costing you more in the long run. Did you replace the clutch throwout bearing that sits on the fork?

Sounds like you mean the throw out bearing, which is the one that the clutch pedal pushes onto the pressure plate. Here's mine;

The clutch kits i've seen all come with one. Just change it. Eventually it will fall to pieces and you wont be able to release the clutch.

Hang on OP, you said the noise is there when you depress the clutch and it disappears when the clutch is in...these are one and the same, so which is it?

Foot on the pedal pushing it in...is the sound there?

Foot off the pedal...is the sound there?

Which one comes with an exceedy clutch kit? Spigot?

Nope, the throw out will always come in a clutch kit. Throw out should always be replaced when you do the clutch, spigot is often ok. If the throw out is dead it will squeal when you push the clutch pedal. Spigot is the bronze copper ring in the center at end of the crank;

no. "depress" means you are no longer pressing in, and when the clutch is in, as in you "press" the clutch in, it goes away, make sense?

Was the noise there before you installed the new clutch? What kind of noise is it, a whine/grind/squeal/rattle? Which bearing did you replace, spigot or throw out (see MrStabby's pics).

To depress the clutch pedal means to push it down. You can't just make up your own definitions - you'll just confuse people.

So to press my clutch means to let it out ?

Does anyone have an answer to which beating that is instead of more insights to a specific word? I even put a video showing the clutch position can we move on?

I wouldn't assume oil as the gearbox is not moving but more a bearing inline with the clutch,

Is that most likely the thrust bearing?

I'll start off with my usual disclaimer, " I'm no Mechanic but "

It is my understanding that when you are sitting still with the car running in neutral with your foot off the clutch ( I'll avoid the press-depress issue :rolleyes: ) the input shaft is obviously turning at the same speed as the flywheel and so is other stuff in the box, so I'd take on board what turboedsloth says I'm pretty sure he rebuilds gearboxes :thumbsup:

does sound a bit raspy to be throw-out bearing,,,, could wrong,, either way its box out

Yeah box will come out, I guess it's good practice to replace both the throw out - input - thrust bearig just do it all for the sake of doing it while were in their. Are any of them specifically difficult

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
