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!

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
