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

I guess its probably all of the above with this car hey...

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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
