I also have this problem. Both sides from the struts, pretty much only when its cold. Im assuming may have something to do with strut brace? It may be too tight or too loose? Can someone verify please, it is quite annoying.

Could be a worn out shock. Worn out shocks usually make a 'rubbing' 'creaking' noise when going over speed humps.

Like what's said above, probably best to change the bushes while you're at it.

My r33 has been doing this alot lately, i can hear it the most when turrning the wheel at slow speeds(ie speed humps), and when pulling into a driveway at angle etc....it sounds like the squeel is coming from the rear, but i can hear the front as well.......sound travels though,.....what is this?and will it progressively get worst?

Well, i took my car to the mechanic today to show him and of course the noise wasnt there, not even going over speed humps. He said when it starts again to go straight to him so he can have a look. Until then, ill never know.

haha don't you hate it when that happens? You go to show someone to show them what's wrong with the car and the problem never happens.

did camber/castor bushes front, rear camber kit, whiteline swaybars with the associated bushes, new bilsteins means that the eye in the bottom of the shock in the rear wont squeak, it was the bushes/bars that stopped my creaking.

Do urethane bushes squeak?

Basically NO. squeaking is caused by high frequency vibrations that can be heard rather than felt. Usually the cause of squeaking is the incorrect application of grease (not greasing the correct areas eg: flange faces & internal bores), greasing the incorrect areas (outside of bushes designed to be installed inside the suspension component) or even over greasing (applying grease everywhere), however the presence of rust, paint or rubber deposits between the bush and the component or housing can also be a major factor.

check your brake pads..

i had this same "creaking" noise on my R32 but could only hear it at low speeds

turns out it was the fact that my break pads were so lowthat the pistons in the caliper were creaking from having to move so far to engage the pad!

Haha reminds me of my old VN SS. It was an auto and was stalling constantly. So much so, I wouldnt bother driving unless I really had to. Took it to a workshop, they had it all day running and constant driving. No stalling...

Got it back the next day. Stalled constantly and I then sold it to a mate and never had the problem EVER.

(And no, it didnt have a clutch! :thumbsup:)

Back on topic, my car does this too.. only out of my driveway in the morning.. I suppose everyone has to wake up :D

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
