Ok my tranny has been making this noise you are about to hear in the video. It started off very quiet but now has gotten worse and louder. No one in the video could say what it really was, so just wondering if anyone here knows. Mods not sure if im placing this in the right section, please move if its not in the right section.

 

aftermarket clutch/flywheel? maybe a bolt getting loose? i'd try not to drive it around like that..

 

yes i have a stage 1 JWT clutch and flywheel.

 

wtfffffffff maybe it's a transformer

 

lol i wish

 

is that sound coming out as you start to engage your clutch?

if so, I think you've cracked your pressure plate.

 

yes it only sounds when the clutch is in gear.

 

I read JWT and was thinking the typical loud chatter. Then I saw the video holy hell man. That sounds horrible. Sounds like a bolt backed out, or maybe your pilot bushing is shot and your input shaft is rattling around. I had that happen on a friends 240. Sounded pretty similar. At idle is was fine, put it in gear and slowly release and it would make thus god awful screeching/whirring sound.

 

dropped it off at the nissan dealer, lets see what they say.

 

so its not the tranny its the engine. they have to change out the piston rings, flush the engine and clean it up. and that's to see if they can save the engine cause they aren't sure it's savable. my engine has been burning oil for a very long time, i always have to add a quart after every 2k cause it eats it right up. fml

 

that sucks man.

my 03 burnt a ton of oil but thank god back in 05 i got the new short block under warranty.

 

worse case has struck, looks like my car needs a new engine according to the nissan mechanics looks like i'm going to try and sell my car to carmax and see what they'll give me for her. very sad day, i was hoping on holding on to her for a few more years.

 

dayummmmmmm man that sucks. best of luck to you.

get another Z!!

 

Damn man, yeah I check my oil a lot just in case. But luckily my 04 has like no miles nor signs of this. I knew it happened with red-up engines but not the VQ

 

well i got an offer from carmax for 5k, looks like I'll be leasing my next car. Any suggestions? I went to look at the new Acura ilx and tsx.

 

I personally like either both have good features and performance. Leasing can get you into a better car for less money. Only downside is you never own it.

 

Jesus, that sucks. I always thought the rev ups burned oil from what I've been reading on these forums. My heart weeps for you man. I'm going to check my oil right now, and you should get a FRS or a BRZ, those little buggers are fun as hell.

 

I want something automatic/paddle shift and a little more luxurious, I'm done with the sports cars for now until I can go buy myself a porsche or GTR. lol

 

im really leaning towards the 2013 iLX, found a lease offer for $169 a month for 30 months.

 

But when your lease is up, you have the option to buy the car at whatever the amount left is. It has it's ups and downs.
