Hello all,

just wondered if any of you have heard of this. Whenever I acclerate at low speed, I hear a loud click, coming from outisde (or underneath) the car. It also happens when i stop accelerating.

Could it be that the center bearing is stuffed? Seems to happen when there is an intial change rpm?

Any thoughts are welcome.

Cheers,

Eek:alien:

mine does this too, the clicking isn't that loud though.

and it's only a single click when accelerating at low speed or, the transition to de-acceleration at low speed. sounds like your car has the same problem though.. it's a bit annoying, i too am interested to know what it could be, as i want to get it fixed soon, when i do my 80,000km service

IRS? As in the boot around the steering arm? If thats what you mean then no. I had a laser before that had that and it would make mechanical clicking noise when turning. Its completely different in the skyline. Its more electrical, like a relay.

The 32's have a common problem with the brakes making noises. Get someone to stand beside the car (crouched down) when you take off and see if they can hear it.

It could be the pad taking up free play in the caliper.

It could also be a universal joint in the tailshaft as these make a crack when you accell and then come off accell.

Rear driveshaft's in those are pretty strong and seeing as though they don't turn too much then I doubt this will be your problem (don't rule it out though)

I would check brakes then check tailshaft.

You could remove the rear pads temporarily to see if it still does it.

With the tailshaft it will make a loud ping when you apply/remove torque. (like banging your tailshaft with a small hammer)

Hey Igor,

if you think you're going nuts... I was about to type up a reply saying that I have heard a similar clicking coming through the passenger window, sounding like something metal stuck on my tyre, then I remembered that just this afternoon, we found a nail stuck in my front left tyre...

Before I was laughing because i'm going loopy, now i'm just thinking about the time and money it'll cost to get sorted out... dammit..

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
