Hello,

I have a query about a noise in 3rd and 4th gear (it may be in all gears, but isnt notable) - after said gears are engaged and letting the clutch out and applying throttle at the same time, a groan at the length of about a second is heard. Its a deep groan, and no vibration is aparent through the stick or pedal so I dont think its the clutch. I have been told that these gearboxes are just noisy, but I'd like more opinions.

There's a slight sound when the car is idling in nuetral, and I suspect the thrust bearing - but not sure if its related.

Your thoughts and expert opinions please...

Michael.

If it is the Thrust Bearing, when you clutch in, the sound goes away. Clutch out, whirring sound comes back. The R34 GTT doesn't have noisy gearboxes. Wait till you hear the Getrags :banana:

I have this on my car. No groaning, but a constant "sshhhhh" whirring noise when I clutch out in neutral.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

+1 getrag plug light flywheel and twin plate clutch is awful.

OK,

But I'm just talking about a standard gearbox and clutch here...

I assume from the veiwed/posts ratio that no-one has experienced this sound?

Perhaps this car may be a risky purchase.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
