Hey guys i got this slight problem and its starting to give me the shits, when the car is at idle and in neutral, i can hear the heavy duty clutch spinning, when i push the clutch pedal in the noise stops and all i hear is the normal tune of the exhaust..

I've had the car for just about a month now, the dude i bought the car off said he just fitted a heavy duty clutch....

Could it be that its just wearing in or its not fitted correctly..

Anyone experienced this before?

Sounds like either the Thrust Bearing or Gearbox Input Shaft Bearing. Either way, if the noise is loud enough to shit you, get it checked out.

It sounds like the thrust bearing in the clutch is screwed, i have seen the problem before especially in r32's is it clunking or just whining, it seems to be different for different clutches, chances are that it wasn't installed properly or he used the one from the old clutch which is getting tired. pm me with which noise it is if you could or tell me if i am right if it has been fixed already. cheers, slippery

Had the same noise in previous rb20, ca18 and current r33 - when you let the clutch out in neutral you have a 'whirring' noise - I allways hear it in my dad's corrigated iron shed where it echoes. Just the g/box input shaft bearings I'd say as long as it's not too loud - after all the shaft/gears are spinning in there. If it happens when the clutch is in it'd be the clutch throw-out bearing. Hope this helps

I have the same noise and a few others, if you just rest your foot on the clutch its worse and then like you said push it in a bit and it goes away. My mate is pretty good with this stuff and he said something just needs to be adjusted, cannot recall what he said but there is to much slack or something like that :D

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
