Hey guys

I dont know if anyone can help me, but im getting a really annoying noise coming from the rear. It shits me to death :)

Whats happening -> anytime i go over a bump, ill get a noise from the rear. Now its not a squeak. Its more of a 'gas' noise. You know how you drive normally and you get a 'gas' noise coming from the shock as it goes up/down ? Thats what im getting and its fairly loud.

I took it in with my mechanic quickly and they said it wasnt the suspension. Possibly a bush or something, but they would have to check

Im just wondering whether someone has the same symptoms as this

Cheers ;)

Tom

Where is a suspension place in sydney that I could goto say tommorow?

Shock absorbers don't make squeaking noises, they just leak fluid and sag. If the shocks were making the noise, you would notice a very substantial lose in height and response in one of your shocks. Bushes and ball joints make squeaking noises. If thats the case I wish you the best of luck trying to find out which one it is coming from because there definately not easy to diagnose. I would recommend you change all the bushes and ball joints to acelethane (is that how its spelt???) bushes as a solution to your problem and a performance upgrade. However this upgrade also transmits a lot more road noise into the car but gives the car a more firm feel. So it really wouldn't be a solution to your problem then I guess...

I think I should stop talking now....

Well ive really only noticed it as a 'gassy noise' since i removed the rear seats and the parcel shelf ?

I know my parcel shelf is being squeaky, but at the same time, eh :S

Ill give it a go in sound dampening the parcel shelf, and if theres anything more, then its my bushes and i'll have to get em replaced

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?

Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
