Hey guys,

Pretty new to the scene and very overprotective of my car hehe just need some help to calm my paranoid mind about my car...

I got 92 R32 GTR and i get this loud mechanical sound upon acceleration at low rpm which almost sounds like its coming from the middle of the car. Usually happens when im 2nd gear and going over a speed bump then accelerate once i've gone over it, as well as driving around a car park or at low speeds in street the noise comes on accelration and then after about 2k rpm the sound just dissappears. Took it to a mechanic and they said everthing is fine and its just a common sound from the gearbox and its normal. Still i find the noise loud and annoying and was wondering if it could be something else such as cv joint or diff. Was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?

Also had a new Bosch 044intank installed and the car doesnt wanna start as nicely as it did before the swap (spark plugs? battery?)any ideas on this would be a big help

Many thanks

R32s are awesome, of course you are protective ^_^.

Sounds like the transfer case, may need some more fluid. Get your mechanic to check it out (common problem in R32 GT-Rs I believe). When it gets very low it will make a sloshing sound so I don't think yours is serious if much more than normal :) so don't stress. The other possibility is the clutch engagement but without being more specific on the sound I would be inclined to think the first is what you are hearing.

As opposed to Walbro, Nismo, stock fuel pumps the 044 doesn't keep fuel pressure when car is switched off (I forget the exact reason). With that pump all you need to do is let the fuel line prime for 1-2 seconds before you crank the engine. You'll learn to hear the sound when the fuel reaches the fuel rail.

also in regards to the sound possibly being a clutch issue, i have recently installed a 4000 pound heavy duty single plate clutch. to be honest the sound is a bit hard to describe but i would definitely say its a rough mechanical turning sound almost shuddering. dont know if it will help, but yea

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
