Things that go bump ...

[JiMb0]

Recently I've noticed a few annoying noises in my car which I can't place and don't have the technical know-how to fix. Basically theres a rattle from the rear parcel shelf and a high pitched squeak coming from my passenger door when driving over moderate changes in the road.

These are really starting to get to me and was wondering if theres someone out there who can hunt out and fix these problems.

I'd assume in this day and age there would be people who specialise in sound deadening of sorts, stopping rattles etc. Any ideas ? Located in the Sydney area.

It's just too hard to try and find the problem yourself whilst driving to try and create the situation where the noise occurs ...

This may sound stupid but try Lubricating the hinges on the door and the check strap pin. I has an s13 that over some bumps and so on there would be a really annoying high pitched squeek. It ended up been the pin in the check strap.

Hmmm, I'll give it a try

hey i just bought a 180.. well couple of months ago came with a whole heap of gear one thing a after market clutch.. buggered if i know the brand of it is but i know it must be heavy duty coz my leg gets a hell of a work out. hey and do you know how i can find out what kinda unit it is without pulling the bitch out.. but hey ive got this problem when i drive the car kinda easy ( hey what am i talking about you dont drive a drifta easy ) ok anyway.. it kinda goes klunck as i let the clutch out but when i drive the car and give it a little stick there's no klunck.. so there klunck and no klunck but mostly no klunck.. what do you guys think

That's just a heavy duty clutch for you ... depending on what clutch it is it's probably a button clutch tho, so either on or off.

The reason it's going clunk is because your trying to ride it and not giving it enough revs. Atleast thats what I've found, same thing happens to me sometime when I'm entering my complex at 5am and trying not to wake the neighbors .. it's just the pickup, sounds like somethings about to fall off your car eh
