Having troubles with my 1996 gtst. Upon cold start up I can hear a grinding/scraping noise similar to a grinding wheel.

The noise can be heard while driving in the low rev range but I can't tell if it still makes the noise at higher rev ranges due to the car being too loud. When disengaging the clutch the noise quietens due to revs dropping.

I don't know if it's related but my alternator is squeaking as well.

Cheers for any help guys

I say get it up on a stand or jacks and search for the noise.

Sometimes when its really cold down here (this morning)

I had a grinding noise from my clutch but that is a bearing that needs to be replaced.

Just try searching for it and see if it still happens when at a stand still or not.

Could be wheel bearings or brakes

Do you think the lower rpms you are also doing a slower speed or same speed?

The noise is definitely not from brakes or wheel bearings as it's making the sound at idle as well. It is more of a schhhhhh sound lol. Sort of like the vaccuum thing at the dentist with a hint of rubbing. That's the best I can describe it haha.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
