Strange Noise Coming From Gearbox Or Clutch?

Hi guys,

Lately I have been hearing a clicking/chirping noise coming from my engine bay. I went to one mechanic and i was told that it was the sound of injectors and that it was loud cause i had a cf bonnet with vents. I wasnt satisfied so i went to another mechanic and they told me that the noise was coming from either the gearbox or the clutch. I went under the car and the noise is definately coming from either the gearbox or the clutch. Ever since that noise rocked up I have noticed loss in power in my gears especially first gear, which seems to lag very much now. The mechanic took my car for a drive and says that my clutch is slipping but still he says hes not sure whether its a bearing in the clutch or the gearbox. I just would like any advice or opinions from you guys? What do you think the problem is?

The clutch is an exceedy heavy duty clutch and is about 6 months old. I learnt how to drive manual with that clutch so there was alot of riding of the clutch, only for a few weeks though.

The gearbox is an r33 gearbox but i dont know of its true condition as i purchased it from a wrecker to do my manual conversion. (It originally had a twin plate clutch with it though...)

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
