Ricos Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 hi guys had this rattle for a while now but now its really getting on my nerves when in low revs and in any gear, there is a real "fuzzy/buzzy" type of rattle on the passanger front seat side, sounds like its coming from infront of the glove box. At first i thought it was the pod rattleing against the guard but then i padded the pod up and it still happened so i eliminated that out of the factor. the sound only happens when driving in low revs in any gear and once u pick up some revs, the sound dissapears. i thought maybe a gasket? sounds like its coming from somewhere around the turbo has anyone heard of this as a common problem or have any suggestions on what it could be cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tek_01 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 do u feel it through your pedal? mine vibrates/makes an aweful sound from 2000 to 2500 rpm in 2nd, 3rd and 4th ive been told its just the clutch out of balance at that sort of rpms so not to worry about it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/#findComment-2935928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPN-O33 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 My car has that same rattle or whatever it is. When it first reared its ugly head i got nervous, but it still does it 3 months on and has been on the dyno for a few hours where it made good power and the tuner didnt comment on it at all....So it cant be that bad i reckon, if it gets annoying just turn the stereo up lol....

jake33 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 maybe its the head shield around the turbo. might have a screw loose and be tapping metal on metal (sorta vibrates on it at low rev). just a thought.. make sure all screws and clamps n stuff are all tightned around that area. if they are, then it probably an iternal thing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/#findComment-2938023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricos Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 was just concerned cause it comes from the same area as where the turbo is located. It sounds like a vibration like something is vibrating against something else. it wierd cause it goes away after about 1.5-2k revs. Strange Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/#findComment-2938467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmahnovetsky Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah I have exactly the same thing, But I'm sure my comes from the gearbox. As I removed the rubber surrounding from the gear stick and it was crystal clear it came from the gearbox. I notice the sound only happens if my motor is laboring or just off it.

DrewII Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 mine does the exact same thing. at low revs. i have a twin plate clutch though. theyre tradtionally very noisy things. and its the plates and the disc that sits in the middle thats moving and virbating and making the noise. nothing to be worried about IMO Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/#findComment-2952072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tek_01 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 wouldnt a single plate clutch do the same thing? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/#findComment-2952082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmahnovetsky Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 My clutch is single plate. I dont think the single plate make any rattling sounds. Might be worth a search though.

MBS206 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I've never heard any clutch make any noise whilst fully engaged. If it's slipping, it'll make noise. But once engaged, there's really no moving parts in relation from clutch to flywheel.

NSA11N Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Make sure the noise isn't coming from the front of your engine.... How many K's has your car done.... Sounds like you may need to replace your cam belt, cam bearings, and seals..... But yeah, check the black case on front of engine at dizzy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158082-r33-series-1-engine-rattlesound/#findComment-2955905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you may need to replace your cam belt, cam bearings, and seals.....But yeah, check the black case on front of engine at dizzy sounds like my problem though i wouldnt have a clue... check the black case on front of engine?

Ricos Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 done like 110k its not coming from the front of the engine. it sounds like the sound is coming from infront of the glove box ,engine pay side (not inside the car ) thats why i suspected my POD was rattling against my guard...but it wasnt that the sound comes and goes fairly quick its only when the car struggles on low revs dunno what the hell it is, and its not like i can pop the hood and look in when it makes the noise cause it only happens when moving, does happen on idle or when reving the car in N.

bluey33 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Get somebody to rev it for you I had another look at mine and the rattle seems to be coming more from the plenum/under the cross over?
