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

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
