Hi guys,

i have recently purchased a R33 GTR 96 and I'm loving it except for one lil annoying problem.

The whole car is stock besides the exhaust system. the car has done 56xxxkms freshly imported.

Anyways done abit of research and thought I would take out the restrictor. very impressed with the power gains but then sometimes when i shift up gears at higher RPM (7.5 - 8) it makes this weird slightly crunchy noise.

Anyone experienced this before?? to me it sounds like the gearbox or clutch cant handle the increased boost...

hope you can help

thanks :)

If it's a gear crunching you will feel it through the gear stick. The gearbox will handle a s#it load more than the 250 odd kw you are now putting through it. When you do pump too much through them they won't crunch a gear, they will destroy a gear, and that will be the end of your gearbox.. At what point does it make the sound? Is it only the sound? Also your car doesn't have 56,000k on it, so don't assume all the parts are that new..

thanks for the reply, Its only the sound. It happens when i change in higher RPM.

i got my mechanic friend to quickly test drive it and he thinks the noise is related to the bov not venting the air properly..

A bov does not make a crunch noise. It makes a pew noise or a cascading pew.

A crunch is a crunch. And if it only happens going to one gear then that gear has had a bad time.

Also if you dont have the import certificate or full service history then it doesnt have 50xxxx km

I dont really know how to describe the noise, crunch noise was the first thing came to mind lol.

it goes something like this "hhhhhhuuuuuuuunggghh" but if i change gears really fast then it doesnt make that sound

i got my mechanic to check the car (on hoist), and he said that all the signs lead to a legitimate kms. Even if the kms are not true i dont really care I'm loving the car and its immaculate.

I dont really know how to describe the noise,....

it goes something like this "hhhhhhuuuuuuuunggghh"

I heard that sound once too - 'twas in a film

Something to do with surveillance equipment.

...in "Meet The Parents" I think...

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
