Strange Things In My Car.

[lilcrash]

Over the 5 years I've noticed a few things making noises an moving. Just curious if anyone else had noticed it too.

My clutch pedal clicks and dips sideways a little like there is a piece worn out of the pivot point.

The front of my drivers seat lifts with acceleration. Like the rails are worn badly.

My rear hood lining isn't stuck to the roof anymore on the front edge. Like the clips just won't hold the weight. And as far as I know it's never been removed.

These are the little things that go wrong with older cars; this is exactly why people sell perfectly good cars; a little time & investigation can yield very cheap, easy repairs.

The clutch pedal will have a nylon bush on the pivot point; these do wear.

You should be able to buy a new one from Nissan, or if you are friends with a machinist; they could spin you up a new one if you provide the old one as a sample.

Seat rails may well be wearing; but there may be something you can tighten depending on their construction. I've also tacked little shims into frames to tighten the slides. Have you pulled one out to have a look?

Due to the amount of heat that the roof lining cops, if it is held by plastic clips; these may well have gone brittle & broken.

Not sure how yours is assembled because I don't have a C34; I'm sure one of the guys who've had the headlining out will know.

The roof lining check whether plastic is broken or if it has done Wat mine has which is the glue has come unstuck between the clips nd the lining. So would need new glue put on.

Il probably get a bush made at work for the clutch pedal

If that's the case. It only got really bad when I put a hd clutch in.

I need some more back friendly seats anyway so some new rails and seats will fix the moving seat issue.

I've got one glue patch unstuck and 2 clips just not holding.

I'm not really worried about it just curious what others have noticed over ownership.

Mine's been pulled apart a few times, so I'm starting to notice a few rattles behind the dash: eventually I'll tear it all out and find the culprits... clutch pedal requires regular greasing, as it squeaks... other than that, not much to report, happily....

My roof lining needs attention. The stock seats offer little in the way of lateral support - GTR ones bolt right in - I have a set of Recaros out of a late model Honda - just needed a new seat base and sliders - hold me in much better on corners.
