Ok so bit of an update on this issue i'm having-

Took the car back to the workshop and got it back on the hoist. Got in it and went through the gears whilst i was in the air, went through all the gears and started hearing a fair bit of rattle once the car got under more load. 40km/h in 6th gear the noise was horrible, coming straight from inside the gearbox.

My mech says to give it a few hundred more km's and if nothing changes i need to speak to Coz about it. We pulled a bit of gear oil out looking for steel shavings, put a magnet in the small amount of oil we dropped and pulled out next to nothing. Probably the little bits were from the new synchro's meshing together.

Apparently, my mate has had plenty of cars up on the hoist doing the same thing as what we did going through the gears troubleshooting listening for noises and has never heard this happening before.

I guess i will drive it for a few hundred more km's, then change out the oil ($120 down the drain) for a thicker mix. Amsoil is very light, maybe the car doesn't like it. Then go from there, my mate thinks it's a gearbox bearing. We'll see!

Well i've just got used to it i guess.. my mate has a s15 with a similar noise he thinks it's normal. One thing that i have noticed though is a creaking noise i get from the clutch mostly when the car is cold every time it engages. I assume this is normal too because it stops after i've been driving for 5-10 min. I figured that since i'm not having any issues with changing gears or the clutch slipping or any form of driving problems that this clutch noise is normal.

That sucks. That would do my head in to spend that sort of coin and come out with a less than 100% result. May as well strip the interior and cage it and tell everyone one "because race car" !

It might just be a sound like the nismo clutch.

I have one, and the thing makes the gearbox make a terrible noise on decel, at 2200-2000. You can read about it on the nismo website itself as a noted characteristic.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
