Guys,

Have had a major service and hada hicas lock bar put in. Over the last couple of days i have started to hear a knock from the back of the car when driving, sounds like somthing swinging in the fuel tank as its not constant but not sure, will have to have a look on the weekend.

Just want to see if any one has had an issue like this and what it was?

cheers,

First thing I would check is the exhaust- Specifically, make sure the mounts are still secure, or have a look at the clearance the tie-rod has with the exhaust while the car is on the ground now that the hicas set-up has been modified. Whoever installed it may have messed with the exhaust hangers or something in that area. You've gotta use pry bars 'n shit to do work on that stuff. It's tight in there too, with a decent sized 'zorst.

jack the car up, have it in gear and try to turn the wheels suddenly.. see if it makes that sound.. that will discover if its drive line related

MAKE sure the handbrake is off for this one, also try it out of gear aswell

also while its up.. shake the exhaust to see if it moves enough to make that noise

take it back to mechanic who did service. let them figure it out.

it sounds like it could be some part of the exhaust hitting, maybe the tailshaft or one of the driveshafts. That happened to a friends silvia. I think flange on cat was hitting tailshaft.

on deceleration there is no positive force/pressure on the axles. they are spinning loosely, really. Same as why i was getting diff chatter on deceleration and constant speed, but never under load.

Just see if you can get it on a hoist, and anything that moves, move it. Turn it. Shake it. Process of elimination.

Check to see if the handbrake cable hasnt come of its bracket as this can occur hitting the tailshaft

Farkin bad!!!!

Both rear tyres had loose nuts, (were not tightened after service just over 1 week ago).

Lost one nut, another 5/10 k's the wheels would have fallen off.

I didn't even check the wheels at first as it is something simple i thought the workshop would have tightened!

Called and expressed my feelings.... :whistling:

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
