hey guys i have a s2 rs4s and its knocking/rattling. ive checked it with a stethascope, and the noise is coming from the rear of the engine or bellhousing. i believe these have a dual mass flywheel and this is where the noise is coming from but looking for some clarification from anyone whos pulled a fly wheel out of one.

cheers.

Never seen a dual mass flywheel on an RB but then I haven't seen that many RB flywheels. I would think it very unlikely. On the other hand it is quite possible that someone has fitted a twin plate clutch if your engine has been heavily modified (they are not standard).

Or else you have a screw loose somewhere?!!

this is an oem replacement for a dual mass flywheel on an R34 GT-R

OEM equivalent clutch kit including DMF NSK-7725DMF

this is also for sale on SAU

from an R34 GT-R VSpec

Stock used

Used dual-mass flywheel now for sale - Will inspect condition and update. For now price = $250, may go up or down $50 depending on confirmed condition (will post pics)

so skylines definalty have them and i thought, being a NEO engine, with gtr gearbox(if that waht the awd box is), it may have the GTR dual mass flywheel. im not sure if the GTT had them, but its possible aswell.

Well I remain unconvinced. From my "research" the only Skyline to have a dual mass flywheel as OEM is the R34GTR with the 6 speed Getrag although aftermarket dmfs are around.

I have an R33GTR box and clutch in my Stagea and the clutch and flywheel came out of a low mileage R33GTR and its a solid flywheel. I'll bet quids that the RS4s came out with a solid flywheel.

mmmm i guess ill just have to pull it out, because its really the only explaination for the noise that i can come up with.... it doesnt sound like piston slap, and all of the cylinder compression are good, i thought it may have been the idler or tensioner pulley for the timing belt, but they have been checked and are fine. the car drives beautifully so its unlikely to be an internal bearing.....

this has really got me by the short and curlys, its all thats stopping me from sending the turbo off to hypergear, got the FMIC, fuel pump, z32afm, hard pipe intake, all i need is the turbo and ecu + tune, but im not going to send it off and power it up if its going to cause more problems...

As stated before, 6 speeds get dual mass flywheels a la 34gtr and s15

Quite likely to have copped a twin plate clutch in japland, extra likely if your clutch is quite firm

Disconnect either injectors or spark down the back end of the motor (one at a time) and check if the noise goes.

If it does it will more than likely be big end bearings, Happened to me on my R33 a few years back.

i think i answered my own question after further googling it seems the Rs4s from 97 onwards has a dual mass flywheel
:D

My RS4S is a 98 and as i have the flywheel out sitting next to the gearbox on the floor, i can tell u its definately NOT a dual mass flywheel. The noise is prob the throw out bearing. Mine was noisy.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
