Hi all, my v35 usually has this ticking sound when I accelerate from a standstill. It's usually just a "tick" when I step on the accelarator and that's it. No lost of power, no other issue.

Anyone has that same sound? Is this normal?

Help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Does it happen every time?

If it happens to the brake pedal, then it is normal as the V35 does self ABS check each time the you press the brake for the first time after starting the car. You will feel it when your foot is on the brake pedal.

Not all the time. I know which noise you are talking about. Yes, my car does that too and it's like a grinding noise when the car first reaches a speed of around 20kmh. The ticking noise I am talking about is different. It's a "tick" noise that happens just as the car starts moving from a standstill. From memories I think other cars has that sound too but may not be as loud.

No.. I'm talking about the 'tick' sound when you start moving..

taken from the v35 manual...

The anti-lock brake system consists of electronic sensors, electric pumps, and hydraulic solenoids controlled by a computer. The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.

This could be the sound that you are talking about.

That sound comes from your rear right wheel. if you open the window you will hear that sound. Lets lubricate guidings when you take a wheel off. You won't be able to hear that sound if you spin a wheel when car on a jack.

Alvin, yes I know which noise you are refering to. This "tick" noise is a different sound to that. It's a sound that's when you release the brake and press the accelerator, there's a "tick" when the car start moving. Not when it has moved to a certain speed when the ABS test comes in.

Nick, I do think the noise probably comes from the rear. Not sure if it's the right wheel but when I lower the window, I do hear the "tick" sound coming from the rear. Any idea what's the reason and what I need to do to sort it or is it just a sound that I can ignore? Thanks!

Hi there, I've got that ABS check noise. and the tick noise you mention maybe because of the rear wheel bearing which is a simple problem , or just lube the rear axel and maybe it will gone. have a check in the garage... should be no big deal though...

Thanks for that Will! Anyone else has experience the same noise, please share! Or anyone has ideas of what it might be, do share too! Cheers!

Hey Nick, can you explain further on what I need to do to check this out? Thanks!

had something similar to this on my first V35: apparently it was very light surface rust on the driveshafts: they were cleaned and greased, and the sound never came back... Don't know if this is the same problem you have have, but it was a simple and easy fix...

Thanks Micah! Seems like most ppl are commenting that a simple lubricating work will do the trick! Planning to send the car into City Nissan after another 1 or 2k km, so see if that can be sorted out together. Or do you reckon it's a really simple DIY job?

Cheers!

I also have that 'tick' noise in my gt8, more noticeable when in man. mode and driving with haste, usually get the noise when I am braking firmly and down shifting usually dropping into second or first, then another tick when I accelerate hard.

I will give this clean and lube option a go.

Hey James, update me on how u get on with this! Been super busy at work and don't think I'll get the chance to do this til next month. So if you test it out and it works, I'll do it ASAP as well!

Cheers!

Hey guys... I've just done a pre-purchase inspection today (after 3 weeks having the car as I can't sort out a time with my dealer to get this done with the AA).

Turns out the tick sound is coming from the rear right brake. According to the inspector, it's due to a slightly loose clip on the brake pad which cause the tick sound. He said it's a minor issue and a easy quick fix so I'll probably get that sorted when I do my service or I was thinking I will perhaps discuss this with my dealer to see if he can sort it out quickly.

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana 路 Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus 路 Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
