Noise when clutch is in... R32 GTR with an aftermarket clutch.

[sktz-34]

Hi all,

as the title reads, i hear an odd noise when the clutch is in. It's hard to describe, so i'll do the best i can. It sounds like it's coming from where the gearbox joins the motor, and it's like a rattling/whining type of sound. My next door neighbor had a listen to it and his first impression was a throw out bearing (not sure of spelling). But then he asked if it had an aftermarket clutch, which it does - it's a OS giken twin plate clutch, and then he said he's not sure what type of noises they make.

I can't drive it on the roads as it is unregistered so i don't know what noises it makes whilst driving.

Any help would be great... thanks in advance guys.

Regards,

Shaun

Twin plates rattle a little when you push the clutch in (disengaged).. the plates are loose so the vibrations from the engine/input shaft can cause them to rattle a little. It could also be your thrust bearing if its whining a bit. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks Andrew, appreciate that.

Sounds pretty normal for an OS twin plate, don't think you have a problem buddy.

As said, normal sound. You should try having a HKS multiplate... wake up half the damn neighbourhood when you push the pedal in

Yeah my mates HKS twin is damn loud.. My triple however is nice and quiet.. Just a little rattle.. Typical though my 180SX had a loud input bearing on the input shaft of the gearbox, that car made noise in nuetral with the clutch out, this one makes noise with teh clutch in, can't win...

Cheers guys, thanks for all the help. I am relieved that it is a normal sound. The car is heavily modified so I'm being paranoid about 'different' noises.

You should go for a drive in Shivam's 32 GTR; that has a symphony of noises, all in a good way though
