Hope you guys don't mind I warm up this thread again...

I had a brand new Daiken Exidy clutch... is it normal to have that "ringing" sound (heard from outside car) and "wind whirring" like sound on the inside when I let it idle in neutral.

The sound goes away when I press the clutch pedal.

I know 08LUR, Black GTR in bris just had a twin plate solid centre clutch installed and is very impressed.. Sorry i have no more detail but am sure if you pm him he could pass on more info..

I was absolutley gob smacked by this car!?!? F***ing AMAZING!?!?

and for a twin plate clutch to be so drivable and quiet ..AWESOME!!!!

I have an OS twin-plate, and as the others have suggested getting noise from your twin is quite normal. As long as the clutch grips that is all you have to worry about, the extra whines and rattles all add to the character of the car.

ok this is what ive been told by my tuner....

a twin plate that rattles (ie clanging noises when the clutch pedal is depressed) its on the way out. a slight scraping noise is ok as the clutch stator between the plates has nothing to hold it in place... most of the time when i press the cluch pedal in there is NO noise at all which i thought was quite unusual. the other reason for noises is when the spline on the plates wear or the clearance is to great (ie worn out) Hope this has helped

blur,

I would disagree with your tuner, all twin plates will rattle some, even the brand new ones we have put in. There are two plates which come together, so there is always more noise than a single plate. Definately nothing to worry about.

dont want to be rude but no rattle from my car, only slight rubbing noise, and thats a fact!! no its not completly silent there is nothing to hold them together but NO rattle its an os giken twin plate solid centered brass button on a chrome molly flywheel... took jnr79 for a ride on saturday, he would verify this...

the rattle is from the thrust bearing contacting the much heavier sprung pressure plate. When the noise is more a bearing like squeal or metal on metal grinding then you can start worrying.

The noise can be reduced a little by adjusting the clutch. but it will always be there.

Thanks Guys , i spoke to a few more R owners they reckon its a characteristic of the clutch you have and the noise means your clutch is slowly on the way out , also i havent heard other skys apart Rs with this noise ?:confused:

Sorry for reviving an old post - but i did a search on my issue and found this so...

i just got my beloved R32 GTR and love it.

When i press the clutch in all the way you get a nice clear metal on metal scraping sound, i can only assume from this thread that the thrust bearing is on its way out? The only thing that is making me hesitate to believe so is that the clutch catches perfectly.

If anyone has anything to add or comment i would appreciate it.

Cheers guys.

Just wait till you need to replace your clutch, nearly the same labour to replace the bearing by itself.

thrust bearing cost about 60 bucks, but if your not capable/comfortable pulling the box out to install it you might be looking at 400 or so in labour

Alright thanks guys, in the process of purchasing an r34 and notice the bearing was noisy under load, wasnt sure if it would cause any damage of some sort.

Got quoted roughly $350 to take the box out plus bearing and any oil, so yeh might just wait until the clutch goes IF i buy the car.

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
