Hi All,I have an annoying but apparently not detrimental problem with my r33gtr starter motor,when I start the engine the starter squeals for about 10 secs after it fires up,I can beat it sometimes by being quick on the key release at the exact time it starts but it doesn't always start exactly when I think it will so I have to try again.

I would like to fix this annoying problem while my gearbox is out,but being an import I may have trouble with parts,anyone had or heard of this noise before and how or what to do to fix it.Cheers Grey Pearl.

yeah a few teeth of my flywheel were worn off which caused a horrible sound sometimes when trying to start the car

surely not something which could last for 10 seconds AFTER the car is running...

(note never had starter problems myself but sounds odd)Sorry guys, I thought a bit harder about the noise ,as I haven't driven it for a while and had obviously exaggerated how long the noise lasts for ,probably due to my annoyance that it exists at all.

It is only about 3 secs after startup,I'm sure it's the starter, and sounds like the bendix spring cog is slow to be thrown out,would it be possible to just get a new cog or is it part of the shaft that runs right through the starter,?? also are starter motors the same on imports as aussie made gtrs,as I had terrible trouble trying to source a new compressor for my air-con because of the differences.??

Also thanks for the responses guys it is the best I've experienced since being on the forum.Cheers Grey Pearl.

Ps; Could anyone tell me which state Darkside lives in as I would like to talk to him about some other problems I have with my 31's??.

OI i didn't say all that :banana:

PS. He use to be in Vic wasn't he - maybe PM and ask him?

Yes you did. The quote said so! :)

Rob, just take the startermotor to an auto electrician, they'll sort it out. Gave the same advice to a friend with the same elusive skyline starter motor noise, works fine now.

Thanx mate,did your mate tell you what they did to fix it?? and are all r33gtr starters the same, import or not??

And would it be easier to remove while the gearbox is out or just as hard,as I heard they can be a real bitch to get at the top bolt out??Cheers Grey Pearl.

He said they replaced bearings and contact points. Costed him little over $100 i think. Haven't taken one out of a gtr yet, so can help you with that. I dare say its easier without the box in the way, but still do-able with the box on.

Thanx hojak,Anyone else had experience with starter removal in gtr33 and could answer all my questions from earlier post Grey Pearl. Edited by grey pearl

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
