Knocking Noise

Hello all.

So, I've just had my brakepads changed and rotors replaced. The guys that did it work next door to me and will look at it for me on Monday, but seeing as I need my car over the weekend I wonder if anyone would have any idea what is making this knocking noise. Now I know 1 of my rear coilovers has a leak and is knocking but this is a totally different sound and a seperate issue (i think).

When I accelerate I would not hear this knocking but as my foot is off the accelerator I hear a series of knocking noises kind of like how if you would drop a snooker ball onto a table. It seems to be knocking as the wheel spins (from the sounds of it). Any idea what it may be?

The higher the speed I'm going at the louder the knocking is. Reason I ask is simple as I need to use my car over the weekend. Will definately take it back on monday to have it looked at but if it is something simple I may take a crack at it tomorrow morning.

Thanks in advance for any advice that is given.

- Vic

Possibly your brake calipers hitting your rims? If you replaced your rotors and pads then it would have pushed the calipers further out by a tiny bit, maybe they are now hitting your wheels?

Our skyline brakes don't work like that, the Stagea however, does work like that (it's a sliding caliper set up with pistons only on one side I believe).

My guess is something isn't done up properly :happy:

Alright, after a whole day of running around doing errands and tryign to figure out the problem with my car, I've just realized that 1 of the spacers was not bolted back properly (loose) (Thanks R31 POWER)

Now just need to find my damn allen key for my wheel nuts to get it off and tighten it all up.

Cheers for the help guys.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      I figured out what’s wrong. It’s something to do with the high beam wire short circuiting. When I measure the continuity with a multimeter on the headlight socket connector it gives me a continuous beeping noise when I put it on the ground socket and also on the high beam socket.  On the passenger side of the car (working side), it’s only beeping when the probe is on the ground socket. Which makes sense.  So that means it has something to do with the high beam power supply for the drivers side. How do I trace that? Is it the turn signal lever malfunctioning? The one that also controls the high beam and low beams.

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By EndZee · Posted

      But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me
