hi

the car is a R33gtst s1. i hear the noise when i drive slowly (straight and around corners), if im slowing down, and have notived it more if im turning left on a hill (at an intersection). i dont think its the suspension as the car has new coilovers and the sound is still there. the previouse owner said the noise was the Hduty clutch going on and off. i have jacket the car up, put it in nuteral with the handbrake off and rotated the back wheels and didnt notice much play (both wheels moved together). i havent done the diff oil yet so ill be doing that soon. the nuts on the wheels are tight so its not that (read in a diffrent thread that loose nuts cause noise). anyone have anything else i can try before i take it to a work shop and them say " *cha ching* yeah mate u have to buy all this un-nessasary crap and that may not fix the problem"

thanks in advance,

Aif

does the car have an lightweight flywheel aswell?

my 33 has a twin plate clutch and lightweight flywheel, accelerating under 2000rpm the car makes a rattling noise which sounds like its comming from the gearbox, the previous owner has said that its just the flywheel being to light causing the gears to rattle or something, seems consistent with other skyline owners with aftermarket clutch and flywheel, they all say the same thing, if this is what it is its nothing to worry about

i may have read wrong but you havent even described what kind of noise and where you think its coming from. abit more precise and im sure you'll get a helpfull answer.

i have a lightened flywheel and it makes a "gara gara" low rattle noise at low revs. do yo have a solid short shifter? is it grinding or clunking noise? coming from the front, gbox, or back? could be any thing or something silly as something in your glove box...lol

the noise sounds like a clunky rattle *CLUNK CLunk clunk* from the back left of the car, it sounded like a shagged shockie but i got coilovers and the noise is still there. and i get it if im accelerating and then let go of the throttle *clunk*

i dont know if the clutch is a hduty clutch with a lightened fly wheel (is there an easy way to check other then opening the gearbox?), because it felt like the guy i bought the car from was telling me crap to cover what this noise might be.

i have a stock shifter. i have emptied the car inc. the partial tray, boot linings and spar tyre and the noise is still coming from the back.

i hope this helps you guys help me :/

Have you checked the drive shafts / half shafts going to the wheels?

I get a clunk on/off acceleration and when changing gears and there is a little bit of slack somewhere near the CV joints there.

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
