I think it has something to do with the colder weather ?

The shocks/bushes are cold and thus making creaking noises ?

Perhaps im wrong ?

Yep mine too, only started the past few freezing days. Steerings gone a little bit heavier too, or maybe just my imagination...

Had a slight creak in mine when I took off from stop. Apart from replacing a CV in the front (which I don't think was the cause), the guys tightened up all of my suspension and cross members - creaking noise is gone. Probably just contraction from the cold allowing a little more give than usual in the suspension.

seems strange but i have the exact same issue..

mornings it creaks but after like a 30 - 40 min drive it stops most of the time.

had the brushes replaced and this stopped it for a small amount of time.

but i think it is the shocks that have worn on mine.

replacing them soon anyways

my car has creaaaaking all over, coz the suspension is rock hard (and the chassis comapred to my old TX3) it feels really stiff, especially around the rear shocks, for me anyway....

my car squeaks when you change direction mainly... i.e. when you pop her in reverse it makes a little creaking noise and then back to forward gears. my suspension guru in canberra is part genius, and he reckons its just the bushes/mounts doing their thing and theres nothing to worry about.

and on that note, my bilstein/eibach suspension is slowly shaking my car to pieces. my boot rattles horribly (not stereo induced) and half my interior squeaks, rattles and carries on.

not looking forward to the day i actually pull it all to bits and fix it...

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      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?
