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 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.

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.

      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 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
