Hi guys,

i have recently purchased a R33 GTR 96 and I'm loving it except for one lil annoying problem.

The whole car is stock besides the exhaust system. the car has done 56xxxkms freshly imported.

Anyways done abit of research and thought I would take out the restrictor. very impressed with the power gains but then sometimes when i shift up gears at higher RPM (7.5 - 8) it makes this weird slightly crunchy noise.

Anyone experienced this before?? to me it sounds like the gearbox or clutch cant handle the increased boost...

hope you can help

thanks :)

If it's a gear crunching you will feel it through the gear stick. The gearbox will handle a s#it load more than the 250 odd kw you are now putting through it. When you do pump too much through them they won't crunch a gear, they will destroy a gear, and that will be the end of your gearbox.. At what point does it make the sound? Is it only the sound? Also your car doesn't have 56,000k on it, so don't assume all the parts are that new..

thanks for the reply, Its only the sound. It happens when i change in higher RPM.

i got my mechanic friend to quickly test drive it and he thinks the noise is related to the bov not venting the air properly..

A bov does not make a crunch noise. It makes a pew noise or a cascading pew.

A crunch is a crunch. And if it only happens going to one gear then that gear has had a bad time.

Also if you dont have the import certificate or full service history then it doesnt have 50xxxx km

I dont really know how to describe the noise, crunch noise was the first thing came to mind lol.

it goes something like this "hhhhhhuuuuuuuunggghh" but if i change gears really fast then it doesnt make that sound

i got my mechanic to check the car (on hoist), and he said that all the signs lead to a legitimate kms. Even if the kms are not true i dont really care I'm loving the car and its immaculate.

I dont really know how to describe the noise,....

it goes something like this "hhhhhhuuuuuuuunggghh"

I heard that sound once too - 'twas in a film

Something to do with surveillance equipment.

...in "Meet The Parents" I think...

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
