  1. You forgot 1 thing on that list. Run 10's[emoji6]
  2. Window reg for s15 or r34? I have a complete s15 passenger reg with motor.
  3. Bit of an update, swapped in the standard rear shocks yesterday, no change other than smooth boating around corners and bulk traction on launch. Replaced the tein back in today and also replaced rear brake pads while i was at it. Went for a drive to bed in pads, no change. I stopped at 1 stage and popped the boot and my eye caught the aftermarket boot release solenoid, i just remembered the cable had popped off this a couple of times over the last month or two so i had a closer look. The internals seem to be loose as a goose and knocking around. I tightly secured the cable coming out of it against the frame of the boot with a zip tie and went for a drive, BOOM problem solved. FML, the time spent stuffing around on this could have been used to do useful stuff but just glad it is now solved and wasn't anything major. Ill try upload a video clip.
  4. f**k yeah, impressive result. Enjoy[emoji106]
  5. Im 90% sure its rear right but you know sometimes strange things happen and these noises can travel from elsewhere. Im trying to keep an open mind. One good thing has happened so far, i found the source of an unrelated front end knock which was a couple loose bolts on a castor arm. My next move is going to be to get a friend to drive while i get in the back/boot and listen to try and track it like that.
  6. Hey@Ty1 coilovers are tein, i have already removed and swapped them from left to right with no change. I have a set of stock shocks and if i can't evetually find the noise i can always throw them in to 100% rule out coilovers. I had a look in the fuel tank and found the float level tube loose and it was knocking around when wiggled. I was pretty convinced this was the source of the noise, i secured the float properly and went for a drive but noise still persists. Fuark! I'm still on the hunt.
  7. Bump and price drop. $200 for the lot or will seperate Adaptors $100 Rda Rotors $50 A1rm pads $50
  8. All of that has been removed, including spare tyre, all boot trims,rear seats, trims, inspection hatch, parcel shelf. Even drove it without rear bumper bar and sway bar. Car is looking pretty bare atm.
  9. Thanks for the response@hardsteppa i had another look today, found nothing but an empty plastic money bag inside the 1/4. I also removed the removable panel at the rear firewall. Noise is now heard clearer so definitely points to back end. I was able to get the noise happening while stationary and i was in the back of the car rocking around. Im going to check out the fuel filler neck and inside the fuel tank for something loose. The noise is a weird one, its only heard in changes of motion briefly, like something is swinging around and hitting something when it gets enough momentum. I'll check the above and if its not that, I'm willing to try anything. Ive got a spare set of wheels i can throw on to rule out any wheel/tyre mounting issue. Whatever this ends up being, ive got a feeling its going to be something silly.
  10. Wow, mind blown. Please sell me your ecu and callibrate it for me King Rice. I will forever feel privileged i found you, your wankness.
  11. Had a quick look over everything again today and didn't find anything. I ended up going to the local mechanics. We put the car on the hoist and he checked/pryed everything and couldn't find anything obvious either. He agreed that although the diff backlash wasn't great, it wasn't the culprit. He was saying i may just have to keep on driving until it gets worse and shows itself. At this point he hadn't driven the car yet, i had just demonstrated the noise in his driveway. I encouraged him to take it for a quick drive around the block to hear it for himself while driving. When he returned he said the noise isn't anything mechanical and sounds like something knocking around inside a panel, which was my initial thought also. Now that i think about it, this only started happening after a recent rear end respray at a panel shop. Im thinking they've left something inside the rear right quarter. Either a tool, can/bottle of red bull or something. I had thought of this earlier and have looked everywhere except below the rear quarter windows, reason being I've got to remove the roll cage to get the trims off to get in there. Fuark, well i know what my next move is now and beats removing diffs and subframes. Should only take around half an hour to remove. The saga continues, I'll update when and if i come up with anything.
  12. Yep still oem bushes. It is the last thing i hope it is. Cbf removing the subframe but if i have to, i'll strip it down and take it to a shop to press out/in. Edit, i doubt it is the subframe because there is stuff all load occuring when the knock happens and i couldn't budge it with a pry bar but never say never heh.
  13. How do you think the noise developed in the first place.. Watch ACA for upcoming skid vid feature[emoji6]
  14. Thanks for the response, i did already inspect the tail shaft centre bearing which was ok. When i get time, I'll have a better look at the rh driveshaft, from memory i do remember that one in the past having some unusual in/out play compared to the other side. I may remove it if i need to for a better look. I'll let you know how i go.
