ok i left this morning,.. car was cold only had it runing for about 1min max so i took off nice n slow as usuall til she warms but anyways as i reversed out of the driveway i was on and off the clutch and one time when i p[ushed the clutch in (it was in reverse still) there was this noisy 'scrubbing' noise form the engine bay.. im assuming this was probably the flywheel rubbing on the clutch coz the clutch didnt disengage properly ? but im not sure.. what's the best way to tell if the stock clutch is gunna die soon and time to get a new one ?

also when i hit speed bumps, more so at higher speeds, i get this 'crunching scraping sqeuaking noise' my car aint lowered and i casn't see much hanging underneath to be scraping, could my front suspension be ****ed ?

cheers guys

My clutch does that in reverse sometimes when its really cold.

I've read a thread on here somewhere before where people said it was the thrust bearing.

I've been told not to worry about it as you don't have a real issue with the thrust bearing until it starts doing the same thing constantly while you're driving normally, ie going forward, or sitting at a stand still.

I'm not sure if this is true or not though!!!

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
