Hi! From NZ and a quick question

Hey! I’m Rahz from Wellington NZ. I have a deep love and appreciation for RB’s and Im so happy to finally be here :) 

my question is:

We’ve just done a new clutch (D1 Racing) change on my turb’d R33 and bled the clutch but when it’s driven at a low speed in a higher gear it creates a low rumble vibration and noise. We’re trying to figure out what this is. Everything has been tightened and torqued to spec. 
Has anyone had this issue before or know what it might be? 

Thank you

Doe that clutch plate have a solid or sprung center?

Spring :)

 Well there goes my first theory.

Here's a silly question, did you previously drive at low speed in a high gear? Or are you trying to find weird noises?

An internet diagnosis of a noise is pretty hard, especially one that doesn't seem catastrophic or even to be concerned about.

Hopefully it all checks out when you dig deeper. Typically straight after doing things you tune into noises that were normally there, but your mind makes you think the worse. opposite of when people change their oil and feel like the car is heaps faster!

I'm pretty sure my car picks up 50kw after an oil change :)

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
