Scraping Sound When Pulling Away In First Gear/reverse

Hi, I spent a few minutes after work making this video: -


https://vid.me/SsST (very prominent)

https://vid.me/TXKc (pulling off a little more quickly)


It's reproducing an issue that I'm having with my car right now which sounds horrible.


Basically, whenever I pull away in first, it usually (more so when pulling away very very gently), makes that horrible scraping sound. That's a particularly bad sounding one as I attempted about 20 times to get the worst sound one that it makes and tried to prolong it.


The clutch is a triple plate clutch greddy and has no problem holding a lot of power, as you would imagine a clutch like this could, and can launch without problems just fine. I hardly ever launch it but I did a few lately just to test for any issues and it was fine.


I spoke to one of the guys who's worked on my car before and I was told that it was probably just an unsprung clutch and that the sound was not a problem, as long as I could put up with how horrible it sounds. I'm beginning to think it's a bit more than that though and possibly a throw out bearing? The clutch behaves like most triple plates and makes the funny rattling sound when the pedal is pressed in.. that's cool, I actually like that noise. I think it's getting worse though and I need to take it somewhere but I would love to know what you guys think!

My car makes the same sound, been told its probably a button clutch. Had the car for 3yrs no issues with the clutch other than that god awful sound. Not sure what clutch is in it though. It's stood up to a decent beating here and there too so dont think theres anything wrong. I'd be interested to hear what more knowledgeable people think though. Good luck.

Edit: Button clutches don't like to be rode whereas a normal clutch you can ride it a fair bit (still shouldn't but you can). I guess that's why on faster take offs they don't make the sound as much.

Ah right, so it's just because I've got a ridiculous clutch.. that's ok then.

It definitely only occurs when slipping the clutch; if I launch or pull of spiritedly, it's like a dream!

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
