Hope you guys don't mind I warm up this thread again...

I had a brand new Daiken Exidy clutch... is it normal to have that "ringing" sound (heard from outside car) and "wind whirring" like sound on the inside when I let it idle in neutral.

The sound goes away when I press the clutch pedal.

I have an OS twin-plate, and as the others have suggested getting noise from your twin is quite normal. As long as the clutch grips that is all you have to worry about, the extra whines and rattles all add to the character of the car.

ok this is what ive been told by my tuner....

a twin plate that rattles (ie clanging noises when the clutch pedal is depressed) its on the way out. a slight scraping noise is ok as the clutch stator between the plates has nothing to hold it in place... most of the time when i press the cluch pedal in there is NO noise at all which i thought was quite unusual. the other reason for noises is when the spline on the plates wear or the clearance is to great (ie worn out) Hope this has helped

blur,

I would disagree with your tuner, all twin plates will rattle some, even the brand new ones we have put in. There are two plates which come together, so there is always more noise than a single plate. Definately nothing to worry about.

the rattle is from the thrust bearing contacting the much heavier sprung pressure plate. When the noise is more a bearing like squeal or metal on metal grinding then you can start worrying.

The noise can be reduced a little by adjusting the clutch. but it will always be there.

Thanks Guys , i spoke to a few more R owners they reckon its a characteristic of the clutch you have and the noise means your clutch is slowly on the way out , also i havent heard other skys apart Rs with this noise ?:confused:

Sorry for reviving an old post - but i did a search on my issue and found this so...

i just got my beloved R32 GTR and love it.

When i press the clutch in all the way you get a nice clear metal on metal scraping sound, i can only assume from this thread that the thrust bearing is on its way out? The only thing that is making me hesitate to believe so is that the clutch catches perfectly.

If anyone has anything to add or comment i would appreciate it.

Cheers guys.

Just wait till you need to replace your clutch, nearly the same labour to replace the bearing by itself.

thrust bearing cost about 60 bucks, but if your not capable/comfortable pulling the box out to install it you might be looking at 400 or so in labour

Alright thanks guys, in the process of purchasing an r34 and notice the bearing was noisy under load, wasnt sure if it would cause any damage of some sort.

Got quoted roughly $350 to take the box out plus bearing and any oil, so yeh might just wait until the clutch goes IF i buy the car.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
