Strange noise

[T.K]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum and the Skyline family. I've recently bought a V35 automatic from a dealership in Sydney. The car is awesome but I'm a bit worried about a certain 'metallic' noise coming from the front of the car when driven first few meters after starting it.  It sounds like it's coming from the front right side. It's short, loud-ish and much better heard from the inside than outside of the car. I know there's not much to go on but may be some of you had a similar problem? It only happens when the car completely cools down. 

NB. I always warm up the engine before driving.

Thanks heaps

TK

Hi T.K, this noise is your car doing an ABS test. It should sound almost like a robotic whirring, or like someone pressing the trigger of a drill for 1/2 a second. 

I hope you enjoy your car.

and don't 'warm up'.. give it 5-10 sec maybe for oil pressure to build, and rpm to settle a bit, then drive gently for 10 minutes.
