hi all,

just wondering if anyone has experienced a slight thud/clunk when cold starting their cars. Everything else is fine and drive is smooth. Just happens if the car has been sitting for a while and the engine is cold. Otherwise, engine is smooth as and shifts are smooth.

Does the sound come from underbody, if so, could be the exhaust system knocking on start up. Could check the rubber mounts for the system, even if not broken, can stretch after a while giving enough slack to knock the chassis on cold start only.

yes it does seem to be from the underbody. Thanks, I'll have a look under when I next have the car serviced.

maybe while you at it, you might want to check the handbrake (footbrake) as well? mine made a small thud noise when driving off after start up and my mechanic told me about checking that.

gl with it.

      You could have a chat to these guys and empty your bank account, I like their de-stroked 2.5 combo. https://esslingeracing.com/mazda-4-v-per-cylinder-4-cyl-engines/mzr-2-5l

      Sorry I'm late to this, but if you're still looking or for others who happen upon this, pretty sure these are what you're(and I'm) after.....   https://www.kmakaero.com.au/r32-skyline-gtr-rear-spats-for-gtr   https://www.obsessionr.com/products/muse-japan-bnr32-n1-type-rear-spat-set   I'm personally interested in the Muse set, as they are also made out of ABS instead of fibreglass.

      If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
