gday crew i have myself a little clunk that is gettin to me.

when i slow down say at a set of lights nice and calm like i shift down into second gear and just before its time to put the clutch in (15-10km/h) and come to a complete stop the car jumps forward and makes a nice big clunk from the mid to rear of the car. it feels as if the car is relaxing with some free play somewhere in the drive line after being bound up. i dont know wether its a bind up issue or if its something completely different. anyone had this problem or got any ideas? as always all help is appreciated and feel free to ask questions.

cheers

First off, waste of time and energy to shift down when coming to a "nice and calm" stop at lights.

Anyway, back to the problem; when you are off-throttle, the injectors shut down. When you get to something like 1200 rpm, they start up again. Do you think it's happening in this rev range? Maybe wear and tear in the drive line is accentuating the pickup of the injectors.

First thought to me - engine mount?

They can make some weird clunk / thunk noises under acceleration / braking because of the engine moving more than they should (Have had that on cars I've owned before ... )

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
