Just got my GTR a few days ago.

Been going really well for a few hundred kms.

Tonight, while in some traffic so I was on the clutch alot, I heard this disgusting winding/screeching noise as I came of the clutch to accelerate. I noticed this a fair few more times. Also as I was slowing into corners and shifting down, with clutch right in, just shifting was making the drive train engage such noises...

Could it have something to do with the clutch? or the gearbox?

I'm very nervous at this point.... HELP

I'm thinking you may have burned out the clutch because you've been riding it too much.

I have heard quite a few people comment how most gtr's burn out the clutch pretty quickly because people make the mistake of riding the clutch and relying on a bit of slippage.

Hey thanx for the speedy reply :D

I was fearing it may have been the case... although there doesn't seem to be any slip. Also from other cars I have burnt the clutch out in, they don't make such a crazy spinning noise, they simply rev alot and go no where... Is there something in this? or do GTR's act differently in this way?

Say it is the clutch? where and how much for new one?

its not the clutch

is the clutch bearing (or thrust bearing??)

Im having the exact same issue today. Was giving it a bit last night, and today the clutch makes that screeching noise. Its to do with the bearing, which is apparently a $20-30 part from nissan, but you need to take out the whole gearbox to fix it, which is alone, $2-300.

Its a matter of, either live with it, or fork out the $2-300, or fork out $800 for a new fitted clutch. Choice is yours.

I personally would like to know what causes this bearing to Fcuk up

Thrust bearing went on my supra. Was told that its got nothing to do with driving hard, its just a bearing, sometimes they go, but its just a noise so don't worry a great deal...

Also, I was told when the thrust bearing goes, putting your foot on the clutch shuts up that noise all together, because there is pressure on the bearing so its stops making the noise, which is exactly how the supra acted and the opposite to how this is acting.

The difference is, when that happened, the noise was always there, this has stopped again this morning... I would be happy to know it is just the thrust bearing though, cause then it would be a $20 - $30 fix + a few hours on the weekend... I'm just a little concerned it has something to do with some other drivetrain components, when my mate had a listen the other night, he said it seemed to be coming from further back... he may have been mistaken though, doesn't know much about cars, he thinks skylines are lines in the sky....

So you think it would be some sort of bearing? not syncro type stuff at all? It just concerns me that it makes it sometimes when I am actually shifting the stick with foot flat on clutch...

then again

Ok, my source for all car info, who always seems to be right... said GearBOX.... oh no!

So does that sound right to some GTR owners who have had gearboxes die in the past? A yukkie howling noise?

If that is the case, I am looking into some PAR straight cut gears as replacement, say they are good up to 750hp, which I will never have. Any recommendations for where to go and what to get for gearbox work?

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have no idea what the power steering control module is on a non-HICAS car because I've never seen one. But it is a fair bet that is essentially the same thing as on any other Nissan of the period with variable PS. So, Maximas, that sort of thing. It will pick up the ECU's speed signal off the "bus" (there's not really a bus - any consumers of the VSS are all just connected to that output on the ECU). The output should (most likely) be a PWM signal to give you an effective average voltage between the minimum and maximum values. You could possibly look at the HICAS part of the R32 manual to see what that range is likely to be (for non-HICAS, as it should be about the same).

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      Thank you for the info!    Did you get a 33 gearbox speed sensor to have your speedometer to work? Does the Speedo work but not accurate?

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      Took me a while to answer that.... Funny thing is, the across the river neighbour did put in an airstrip, built a hanger, and buy a cessna, because strangely they aren't allowed to build a house on the property but there is no problem building an airport terminal They've used in 3 times, once for an attempted landing where they misjudged a little, aborted and missed the trees by so little that new underwear was required. Second time the landing stuck, then a few weeks later the plane left and never returned, so I don't think aircraft noise is going to be an issue. Funny looking back through the last few posts too, I've spent a heap of time lately redoing the roads  and drains so I guess it is a 2 yearly thing to add to the calendar. Those big drains did overflow in the rain about a month ago so that is pretty disheartening....just a reminder that you can't stop nature I guess.

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By D.phantom · Posted

      So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.
