Hey all! First post on here.

Firstly, everyone thats contributed to this stagea section has done an outstanding job! I had a few other questions that we're quickly answered by having a search.

My main issue and question is about the noise that seems to be coming mainly during rolling deceleration. Under acceleration he car moves well and feels good, though it does sound as if thermo fans/vacume or somthing similar are making a large amount of noise. Then once im off the throttle and the tacho shows the rpm drop, there no deviation in the noise untill I begin braking.

I am in no way a mechanically savey person so all I can assume is its somthing rubbing, dragging and most likely expensive but I dont know where to start.

Secondly, where and who are the best to deal with m35 alts in adelaide?

Any ideas and or help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm probably completely wrong but my first thoughts are front wheel bearings.

Drove in to work this morning and after reading afew threads about front bearings starting to go payed more atention to load and cornering.

Not a noise, nothing under about 40kmh regrdless of incline, cornering or acceleration. Few creaks here and there but i assume there just worn bushs and the like.

I did however notice that the tyers (which are new with the purchase) are "Achilles", not a brand ive herd of. What are the chances there a crappy cheap tyre making a butt load of noise? Anybody else ran or running these?

Clutching at (cheaper) straws!

Thanks Daleo, thats what im wantting to hear!

Just swung it past the mechanic who told me that the tread pattern is super aggresive and that i could go "f**king 4wding with em" haha.

Ill keep rolling around on them and see how they fair, if the noise increases ill change fronts to rear and see if the same noise follows.

Failing that i guess ill keep afew hundred spare for a possible bearing replacment.

Cheers guys.

Yeah i spose that is true Scott, though the bank balance is stretched pretty hard after the purchase.

Ill hit up the mate i purchased it from and swap back the R43 stockies an have a gander at the sound. They were on there for the test drive and i dont recall hearing the racket i do now!

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
