ive had this noise coming from the front drivers side for the past few weeks....dunno if its from the wheel or not but it happens after ive been driving for say about 15mins it starts, it sounds like a grinding noise, sorta sounds like the wheel is scrubbing on the liner....which its not, im thinkin it could be the wheel bearings?

its not the brakes cos when it was doin it i was driving with one foot on the brakes and it was still making that sound

i seriously dont know what it is, but it comes and goes, it might do it for 5 - 10mins then stop, then come bak after 10 or so mins, its clearly herd from inside, so its pretty loud, and sometimes i can feel the noise through the accelerator pedal. also happens wen the car just gets rolling doin like 5km/h lol

doesnt seem to be getting louder when the car gets faster, so its pretty consistent

any help fellas would be great

:)

Hey, welcome to the club.

I had the same kind of thing going on and I could feel it through the accelerator too. I have NFI what the hell it was, and it was intermitant. One thing I did notice also was a growling noise when turning down a driveway or uneaven surface. It was dry sway bar 'D' bushes. Some grease, all good now. Worth trying perhaps. The noise didn't vary with speed either but at least its gone now.

after falling into a massive pothole on the weekend in the city (corner george and market street, sydney !! :P ) the noise is bak more frequently, i noticed my brake discs hav abit of a lip on the edges, could this be making the noise?

only thing is, it doesnt do it all the time, its weird, and pretty loud

does wornout suspension make this kind of sound? doesnt seem to do it wen i go over bumps/potholes or up driveways though.....

any help fellas ! ?

Hey there jst joined the Skyline club and new to it aswell since i jst bought the car 2 days ago lolz, and got the same problem when i start hittin the bumps on PARAMATTA RD (FullY ShockinG) thought the seller done me over, but had closer look, it was jst like yours getting a lip in the rotor groove, it was the rotor fenders (that shield thingy behind the rotor) it was touchin, jst had to apply good amount of pressure on top and bottom n push em back (sorta bendin it backwards) did the trick.

just had to time to pull the brake calipers off, definetly not the disc touching anything, i bent the shield like u said bak abit just incase....although it doesnt happen from the moment u start driving, usualy after 10 or so mins.

the disc is fine, no movement, spins perfectly

im thinkin its a suspension component....its dam annoying and bloody loud

good evening. i had a grinding sound that would come and go, more noticable when the wheels were turned.(how ever slightly). it got worse.

it turned out to be a front wheel bearing. (me no expert) jack up the front of the car and spin the front wheel with your hand and you may hear it faintly. ( depending how worn)

that fixed that grinding sound for me.

over bumps when the shocks are working abit i get a different noise more of a squeak (pppfffftttt I'm guessing i got a confused shock absorber in the front somewhere)

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
