when the gear pops out of alignment, does it cause this rattle?

sorry to revive this old thread but i wonder if this might be the problem with my r32 gtr: since i bought her i've had this ticking noise behind or in the dash cluster. it sounds like, to me, a box full of cockroaches running around inside. the noise happens regardless of the speed at which i'm travelling. having taken my dash apart, i am 90% sure it's the speedometer cable making the clicking noise because i can localise the sound to the cable when the dash is removed. it's the only thing clicking. the cable is spinning, it's a square metal cable with a spring around it. i do not think it is a speed limiter. anyone else have this? it's driving me nuts!

in my case the ticking noise occurs regardless of the speed at which i'm going - usually much less than 100 kph...any ideas?

aha, just discovered this thread having been working on my r32 gtr. since i bought her i've had this ticking noise behind or in the dash cluster. it sounds like, to me, a box full of cockroaches running around inside. the noise happens regardless of the speed at which i'm travelling. having taken my dash apart, i am 90% sure it's the speedometer cable making the clicking noise because i can localise the sound to the cable when the dash is off. it's the only thing clicking. i do not think it is a speed limiter. anyone else have this?

are you still having a problem with this? i have the codes on my other computer, can post up if you like.

think i spotted chintami in woden last night and i think baconer (he knows where).

I decided a while ago not to get into arguments on the Internets because it just isn't worth it. >yes and no to a point. i always think that learning at an early age is imperative as its easy to learn young. Yes, it is important to begin learning early. It's easier to learn when you oare young because it is easy to do many things when you are young. It is also easy to learn the wrong things when you are young. After all, the same argument could be used for firearms and narcotics. Similarly, markimak I don't think you could easily argue that your young friend is somehow also a quick learner - if he was, shouldn't he have been able to get into your car without smacking it into something? Shouldn't he have been able to better predict the results of stomping the accelerator? Shouldn't he have been able to think, "this is a weapon, and i don't own it. I must respect this or it could cost me." In fact, it's this impetuousness that is at the heart of this issue: young people are much more likely to incorrectly assess and impound risk. pretender, you don't need a sister working at the insurance firm to be listed as rating 1 - you can just call them up and tell them that that's what your rating is. They are happy to engage in such a deal on good faith. When the time comes to claim, however, their diligence process will reveal your true rating. From there, it's sayonara claim, sayonara paid premia, and sayonara sister's job. Possibly also sayonara future insurance. >If he can't afford insurance each year, how the hell is he going to be able to afford a house loan? This is the nature of disposable income. I won't pay $3,000 p.a. for insurance on a $20,000 asset, but I would have no problem repaying $3,000 a month on a $250,000 loan. Finally, not all cars cost the same to insure - it's not just the value, the vehicle's age is also important. Sorry for the rant.

as per pm, pix of the dash unit?

What? Of course houses depreciate. Everything physical depreciates. The difference is (a) the amount of time over which the depreciation is amortised and (b) that with a house you also acquire land, or licence over the land. Other than that, sound advice.

sad story, banger - did i see your ride in a magazine last year? pinkish paint job? if so, my gf is jealous - that's a very sweet truck.

spotted a dark blue r33 this morning on barry drive. gave a big wave out the window but driver was far too cool for that kind of thing.

woohoo!! :sorcerer:

yep i can see it now, cheers!

think some people in here really need to take a chill pill.

looks great deren. definitely something to show your kids one day, eh? would love a photo of the engine bay showing the whole thing if you get time. i think this sort of thing is really informative. keep it up mate.

fkn go, mushroom. you will love it.

yep, i'd say when jetdat gets back we'll be good to go.

no, they weren't messages to you, they were messages to anyone who had admin for the wiki (i don't have admin any more according to my user prefs). i don't have msn - i'll pm you instead.

i reckon it will. you could try T0P4Z or T0PAZ?

the main thing is that we don't want thieves to be able to work out where our cars are likely to be. these bastards have a great deal of time on their hands. as the snooze notes, it's mainly a problem if we spot parked cars, because over time it's likely that the same cars will be in the same places. R3sp3ct is right, this thread really is a social thing - i just think we can have our cake and eat it if we're just a bit careful about what we post up here.

guys, can we please not post locations of cars. saying "in woden" or "on drakeford drive" is sufficient.

yeah, no worky...and oops should have said 'torque gauge'.

but this wouldn't fit a bnr32...would it? looks different - missing a boost gauge?

this is the only other one i have of the 350.
