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..

    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
