Fishpaste~ Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175366-car-noise-r32-gtr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 mike Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175366-car-noise-r32-gtr/#findComment-3214284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanrb25 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 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!

ecenshu Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 You've now gotten me paranoid about my engine noise Although mine has been that loud since I've had it and no workshop has said anything was strange with it.

Sinful Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yep I have that noise but yours sounds louder Does it drive ok? Cause you would know if there was something wrong with it.. I agree tho get it compression tested Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175366-car-noise-r32-gtr/#findComment-3215887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotwire Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175366-car-noise-r32-gtr/#findComment-3216144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisskid Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 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.

Didnt know there were that many R32 GTR's on the site lol 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.

Fishpaste~ Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175366-car-noise-r32-gtr/#findComment-3218186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
