hey guys,

I've noticed ever since i've had the car that the car seems to be really noisy. The engine has a pretty loud ticking sound and not only when it's cold. But one thing that i'm really worried about is that my gearbox seems awefully noisy. i can hear the some sort of whining when i'm in gear and also this whirring noise that is directly proportional to my speed. i could be in neutral and rolling down a hill and the whirring noise will be there. it sounds like my drive shaft is scraping across something. Can anyone help please! i hope i don't have something wrong with my gearbox or anything eeep!

"does the noise go away when you push in the clutch?

does the noise happen in all gears?

is the noise relational to speed or rpm?

does it happen in netutral?

what kind of car?"

no i can be rolling down a hill with the clutch in and the noise is still there. the noise happens in all gears. it happens in neutral. It's a r32 gtr.

ps. the ticking isn't worrying me too much i assume it's the injectors but the noisy gearbox and metal on metal scraping noise does.!

What modifications have been done to the car? If its directly relational to speed not rpm, could be straight cut gears, could be worn gears and/or bearings.

Ticking noise is probably a combination of solid lifters and injectors... RB26's have noisy top ends :)

"so the pitch of the noise changes with speed and not rpm?

Where does it sound like it comes from? can you hear it inside and outside the car? can you feel any vibration from it?"

the scraping noise is directly proportional to the speed that the car is moving at not rpm. the noise sounds is coming from the center of teh car rite at the gearbox. someones the noise is really loud and sometimes the noise is soft so i have to listen to it but it's always there. the noise is most noticeable when in higher gears prolly coz in first and second the drone of the engine hides it. i have a short shift kit aswell and the gears are not happy going into first or second. have to give it a bit of force.

ps. I'm not sure if the gearbox has been modified but i'm not aware of any mods in the transmission. i can feel vibration on the gear stick when i let go of the gas mostly in third. but there is some vibration on the gearstick. i don't know if u can hear the noise from outside the car coz i have no one to listen to it :).

Don't worry about the 1st and 2nd shift, they all suck in that department.

I would almost second Amaru, straight cust gears with synchro by the sounds of things. If so, lucky bugger, you're set up for big HP. If it were a dog box, the shift would be noisy and a bitch to change gears in normal conditions.

Take the box off, have a gander...

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
