hi guys, recently i've noticed a squeaking and scraping, (sounds like metal on metal noise) coming from the right hand side, sounds like its from the rear. its very loud and is consistent with how fast i go. ie. if i speed up the noise will speed up, when I roll it in neutral, thats when i can hear it the loudest. just as i'm about to come to a stop it sounds really horrible, very squeaky, otherwise when i speed up you can only hear a tat tat tat sound.

any ideas? the car appears to be driving normal.

thanks

just quickly jacked the car up before, didn't notice anything unusual. it gets dark so quickly these days! i think its time to take the car to the mechanics, it sounds so sick :)

recently i changed the rims, but i'm pretty sure that it isn't effecting anything. i mite change it back on the weekend just to be 100% sure.

thanks for the tips.

I had exact same noise mate...i constantly drove with my head outside the window and it sounded like the noise was coming from rear right...

As i came to a slow stop the noise was really loud...when i accelerated it didnt seem to be that loud

I ended up taking it to mechanic and in the end they found out it was the tag on the exhaust had come lose near the resonator or inside the actual head..i.e the pop rivet had come off 1 side and it was the tag hitting...thus the metal on metal sound..

You could have the same problem :)

Well basically i thought it was something in my caliper or wheel somewhere seriously didnt have a clue..it was really really annoying sounded like a metal rattle snake!!! a loud one

I took it to my mechanic he told me to rev constantly so i kep revving the sound only seemed to occur around 4000 rpm + and when i decellerated it seemed to happen aswell

Decided to hoist the car up

He told me to keep revving he followed the noise down the resonator or head wasnt sure! ive got a kakimoto full exhaust...basically on pretty much all exhausts u have internal badging held on by pop rivets in my case 2 pop rivets held the badge to interanal wall musta been near the head or resonator? externally in that case

He basically got pliers and pulled the tag off...it was a simple tag causing the rattle.

They also said it could of been a hole in your resonator or heat shield. theirs your 2 other options :rant:

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
