Hey everyone just bought a r33 at the auctions :D it went for verycheap soni couldn't resist

R33 gtr

1998

103xxx ks

No accident history :revs: and bought from a dealer

So these are my main things

Firstly is the motor is ticking alot. The motor revs out fine no missing etc, The dealer said he doesn't no when it was services last and recons the oil

Is too thin for the motor.. It happined to me before so that didn't worry me . I just serviced it today new

Plugs new oil filter (10-40w royal purple) and it's still ticking not so much as before but still there, havnt taken it

For a drive yet just turned it in for 10 or so mins.

Secondly is the bovs. I can't here the schoooosh that it's ment to make but at huger revs I can hear dose. Pulled the front bar off intercooler etc cleaned all the piping and assembled back together and still doing it. What's causing the dose???

Thirdly vibration: I've uploaded a video I hope this help but between say 1200rpm and 1800rpm there is a strong vibration

That travels into the cabin. But after 2k it's fine all the way through I was think engine mount or somthing?

And lastly suspension knock , there is a slight knock some where in the front right if the car, only happind when driving straight and

Turning right, bushing?

If anyone can help but troubled

Cheers everyone :P

you are used to the stock GTsT whipper snipper BOV?

GTR sounds nothing like it,

you like the flutter or you want to stop it?

there is a sound deadener/padding inside the airbox, check this is still there,

is the sound coming from inside the car or from the engine bay?

can you see the engine shaking violently?

have you checked the engine and gearbox mounts,

does it do it with the clutch in?

Ticking could be a noisy lifter; does it sound like a diesel engine at idle but you can't hear it when you rev it?

GTR bov's sound nothing like GTST bov's, but what you're hearing isn't dose.

Checking the mounts this week still does it clutch in or out

And yes sounds like a diesel motor when idle ing can sorta hear it when reved up.

My main concern is the vibration.

It's more inside vibration then out side and only between 1200-1800 rpm it's werid

TBH with the problems you are describing, i would take it straight to a local mechanic who is familiar with GTR's. The sounds you are describing could be anything from injectors to bearing knock, if so every km you drive it is doing more damage.

Sounds like something inside the cabin (door/dash panel, etc.) is hitting its natural frequency which will cause it to resonant. This is usually a result of mechanical looseness. Go over all your interior trims and make sure the bolts/pins are secured properly.

Yeah I agree, sounds more like something in the interior which is virating at that particular rpm. Get someone to move around the inside of the car while you hold it there, and try to isolate exactly where it's coming from.

Everything feels in place and firm ;)

Definatly something from the motor side replacing all mounts tomorrow and will see how it goes

So the bovs and sussy knock is sorted

Anyone have advice for the ticking?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Rather than speculating, and considering you don't know the cars history, get it to a reputable GTR workshop and have them complete a major service and comprehensive checkover.

the ticking will be the injectors or the fact it has solid lifters

you can shove all the chemicals you want in it but your are wasting your time

GTRs naturally have that sound and its just how it is

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
