hey,

my GTR is making some noises which the guys at boosworx say are normal for a GTR to make... only problem with that is, when i first purchasedt the car, they didnt exist and only started to appear after an SAU cruise

i was wondering if there were any GTR owners around the place (preferable south of the CBD) that would be kind enough to meet up with me somewhere so that i could have a listen to your car ideling with the bonnet up just for my own peace of mind

either that or confirm that the attached sound file is the normal sound a GTR should make

thanks for your help

hey

i listened to your sound file.

GTR's make loud lifter noises as they have a bucket and shim arrangement so they are noisy at idle also ive noticed they have a prenouned injector pulse noise too

this sound could be either of those two

the noise does sound very loud compared to mine and all my mates GTR's so you could have a problem there either some head issues or something top end

yes it is a std GTr noise but should be checked out by a compression test to see if valves are leaking or something

id be glad to meet up and hepl you but i do live north east of city mate

hope it helps

like someone mentioned it sounds a tad louder than normal, but that all depends on recording etc...

i had to listen to a mates 32 GTR cos he was concerned about a noise. was simular but a bit more knocky. turned out to be a bottom end bearing spun.

thats not meant to scare you! hehe. youd know if it was!

How did it compare to others fishpaste~ ?? Any cause for concern or not?

Just thinking, have you changed the oil at all since the noise started? It does sound like noisy lifters, perhaps the oil used is not the right viscosity causing it to be louder (not sure if you would need runnier or thicker oil)?? Just a thought

checked it all last night against 2 gtrs, same noise, same loudness so I guess its nothing to worry about. :bunny:

ahhh nice one

a good point of the oil change though if it aint been done in a while id change it

possibly will quiet'en it down

i use and recoment motul 15/50 300v crono fully synthetic

pure ester

its the bomb all skylines and GTR's i know run it and they love it

compeltely depends on the recording, obviousl the closer u record to the source of the problem the more pronounced its going to be. when u stand at ur engine bay u arnt very close to the engine, really need to hear it in real life.

Exactly, I had a listen to it last night and sounded no where near as loud as the recording. Was as loud as mine and my mates GTR as well. The car had an oil change 2 weeks ago from memory not sure what brand/viscosity though.

Yep, just had mine running, that sound is a whole lot louder. Didnt know there were that many R32 GTR's on the site lol :thumbsup:

yep there seems to be a few on here, now that everyone has been made paranoid of there engine noises we will have to organise a r32 gtr cruize in the coming weeks so that we can all compare engine noizes & sound levels.

lol, i hope i havent made you all paranoid, but like i've explained a billion times, i could swear the noise wasent their when i first got the car, all it did was purr. i have caught up with a few guys since posting this and every car makes the exact same noise, so its all good, nothing to worry about!!! =)

and yes, i changed oil probably 3 weeks ago now to some nice motul 300v, and i got shaun to do a power run checking mixtures etc and a leak down test while it was in at boostworx and everything came up fine.

so thank you all, my confidence in both boostworx and my car has been restored, and yeah, would be keen to meet up with a few more of you at some point =P

PS> are other people keen on a GTR cruise? im sure it wouldnt be hard to organise

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!

      Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p

      Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
