hi,

i recently got a r32 gtr and i dont know if i have a problem or not.

when i take off slowly it shudders a bit like something is slipping.. but if i get the revs up a bit higher and take off it doesnt slip at all.

i have been told that it could have a tripple plate clutch?

also the gear box is very loud, in 1st 2nd and 3rd it make a prety loud winding noise. could it be after market or is it normally like that?

one more thing... when i turn 90 degree corners the inside wheel skips, does tnat mean it has a locked diff also? or is that normal

From what youve said it sounds like theres a bit of work been done to it, but dont want to jump to conclusions.

Does the clutch make a metallic ringing noise when you push the clutch pedal in? Also if it was a gearbox bearing, you would assume the gearbox would whine in all gears. Judging from everything else youve said, I wouldnt be suprised if it had straight cut and/or dogged 1st 2nd and 3rd gears.

As Morgs said, what else is done to the car?

there is only an exhaust from turbos back and slightly bigger frount mount and lowered.

it doesnt whine in other gears, well i cant hear it so it might, but just not as loud.

when the clutch is out and im in neautral the gear box/clutch makes like a loudish grinding type noise (not THAT loud), it goes away when the clutch is in, and when driving it makes a whine noise..

the clutch is also close to an on/off clutch.. there isnt much to ride if you get me. and shudders when slowely taking off, and inside wheels skip when turning

If its got about 2 - 5 cms from the floor before enguaging its a aftermarket clutch. Its either ON or OFF no riding it :) - other wise bunny hop time!

The throwout bearing makes a wineing noise with the clutch out on idle ?

If you'r diff makes a clicking/ticking sound when you turn - going slow then its a locker diff.

well i would say its an aftermarket clutch then.

i cant hear any ticking noise, just the tyre skidding.

i just dont want anything to be wrong with the gear box.. it drives hard and doesnt perform any less then it should, just has some concerning noises

its a multiplate clutch for sure which makes the ringing noise when you push the clutch in. nothing to worry about really..

tho it could be worn?? maybe you'll have to pull gearbox off to find that one out

the skipping wheel for tight turns would be a tight lsd i gather??

the other gear box noises i have not a clue about.. get them check out by someone who knows what they are on about.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
