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

      Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)

      +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.

      Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.

      I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Any updates on this? Although not a stroker, nor built especially loose, my car has the exact same symptoms. Although I feel they were not there to begin with. Since rebuild with forged parts I have done about 40k kms and it feels like during the last 15k or so, the oil consumption has gotten progressively worse.  Compression test showed - what I thought at least - similar 10-10.5bars in each hole without oil. I have not yet done blowby test though, due to limited garage access. #2 plug is the looks the most foul and that was the one with 10bars. Nothing in the breather tank. I only recently disabled PCV and left only the hoses running from the valve cover via smallish tank to turbo intake pipe there and did some mildish 2nd gear pulls so the car was definitely on boost (1.4bar or so). Removed a hose from the tank and it was basically dry - meaning, the wipe I used had basically no oil on it. Last time I checked, the turbo and IC piping seemed dry as well (will have to see about that again after those pulls). For the past year and a half though, the car has been driven like a granny would for 99.99% of the time, since it mainly serves the purpose of carrying the family around nowadays. A lot of slow, stop and go city driving and most of the trips it barely sees any boost, but gets up to temp properly every time. Although there can be weeks it is not started at all. The car does not smoke, or at least not that I can see. (CAT is in place though). There is slight visible sweating at the Ex cam cover seal and I recently tightened the oil cooler lines as there was some mist on them too. It runs and idles extremely nicely and feels all around healthy. Like TurboTapin, I too am suspicious of my turbo. I have had IC pipes pop out from 1.6-2bars of boost a half a dozen times during the years. The turbo is a HX35/40 hybrid. So, a very similar mystery. Around 1500kms and a litre of oil surely cannot disappear to thin air. Apologies for the wall of text, not sure if any of the above is useful for best guesses/things to check next.
