G'day Guys !

I bought a R33, picked it up from dealer Yesterday Morning. I'm quite new to skyline...had one previeously but not for long.

This afternoon I put the car in the garage for general clean up.

Then i hear weird noise coming thru, I put the gear in the netural and let go of the clutch.

it's a grinding noise coming thru, Sound like bearing worn out but It's not that loud but it bothers me at the same time.

I think there is bit of vibration coming thru the gear knob as well when i'm driving around.

Any idea of what is happening? , Please help !

If you think you know what the problem is, is this a serious problem?

very common. I picked up my car with 33,xxxkm on it and it now has 103,xxxkm on it. It has had a "noisy clutch" since day 1, and hasn't gotten any louder in that time.

Don't worry about it unless it gets a lot noisier.

Some vibration coming through gear knob is also normal. You are driving a sports car now not a hatchback with a pot full of porridge under the hood!! (in FWD cars there are long linkages for the gearstick to go forwards up to the gearbox in the engine bay, stops some of the vibration. in a RWD car the gearstick goes directly into the box). My gearstick also moves a bit when I come on and off the throttle or go over bumps - again it's normal my box is mint and I have checked all the mounts are done up tight.

Thank you for the reply guys. Hope you all are havin chillin sunday.

Yeah noise stops when i push the clutch in...

So i guess it's not a too serious problem?

also i realised there is fair bit of noise when i'm driving as well...

How do you check the level for the transmission oil?

Cheers !!

Gearbox bearings are noisy and therefore on their way out. You will most likely need to recondition the thing to get rid of the noise. Will only get worse/noisier from here on out.

It is 99% NOT a thrust bearing issue.

Well if my car's whatever can be worn out at 33k and still exactly the same amount of worn out at 103k then they can stay that way. The gearbox is still mint and I'm not pulling it apart for shits and giggles!

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
