Hey guys, im new to the forums here, i recently swapped my Evo 6(dont judge me lol) for a r32 GTR.. amoung the list of stuffed needed to be repiared is this wierd sound i can hear when above 80km/hr now this noise is only on deceleration or when coasting with very light throttle..no other time, It sounds like a dry bearing/ metal guide grinding...Now i have checked gearbox and diff fluid and they are all good, Checked to make sure no guides are rubbing like exhaust and tailshaft and i cant see anything...

This noise is not everytime eather most of the time but not every.. now if i put the clutch in while coasting or decelerating the noise goes away? clutch was done 2months ago with a heavy duty unkown brand as ABS mechanical did it which was before i got the car, receipt jsut says Nissan clutch (lol)

I have no idea what it could be, ive been doing alot of reading and some one will say rear output bearing, then others say input bearing and could be crown and pinion bearing in the diff...where should i start??

Ok last night i fully replaced the oil on the gearbox, and i found a metal plate attached to the magnetic drain plug... Harts transmission in brendale has told me this part is NOT important as it is only designed to slow the oil down under hard breaking and fast accelerating, I was thinking hmm ok then why do they put it in there then??.. but anyway the noise is still there, I have been reading that the brake pads can cause a similar rattling noise to what i am hearing? any1 heard of this? I am yet to go on the high way yet to see if the rattle is still there under light braking while coasting, will post back once i have done so.

Dude I had something very similar in my R32 GTR with over 500rwkw. Thought it was gearbox. The noise would go away with the clutch in and on deceleration. You know what it was ? My front diffs' crown wheel and pinion gear were totally rooted. The gears were that sharp you could shave with them. Have a look at your front diff mate, put the car on the hoist and you'll pick it. I have one here if needed too.

not intending to commandeer the thread, but ive had a similar problem occur to me today on my way home from work, but its a squealing noise almost like a break pad rubbing on the rotor, and its on and off as if its a particular section being affected, its only during cruising speeds and deceleration, so not when accelerating and you can hear at low as 10km/h around the street. my car is a r32 gtst, and ive had diff clunking when its being engaged, ever since i put in some alloy rear cradle bushes. am i up for a new diff?

hope you get your car sorted out too Skizza

?hey guys thanks for the info, I have pulled the front diff out and had it checked, and turns out the isnt even 5000kms on it...they said they can still see the forming patterns on the teeth, and the bearings are brand new... I put the car back together and took it to Hart Transmissions in Brendale and they said it sounds like the clutch aswell as tailshaft chatter.. the clutch is a heavy duty exedy or extreame..i think? the clutch cover is a pink colour so i assume its those brands?.. and they tailshaft chatter well i wonder if the rear cradle bushes and rear diff bushes will help solve that? i found out the rear diff mounts are boned there is no rubber left on them and same with the rear cradle, and i also noticed the drivers side CV comming out of the diff is leaking diff fluid and it moves up and down :S which isnt good imo haha. So i think i might have to take the rear diff out and check it over too.. I'll post a update once i find out

Ohh BTW the noise sounds like a BURRRRRRRRR with a squeel to it but now its only from 110km/hr and up most of the time

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
