Can anyone help me? i have a clicking noise on my r32 .. when ever i take off it clicks, change gears it clicks, turn a bend it clicks, gear down it clicks, even boost spools up quikly it will click under the load. the clicking sound is kinda like the sound if you got a pebble stuck in you tire and it clicks as it rolls over it.

i have no pebbles

i can also slightly feel it on the peddles. has anyone ever had this problem b4... if so please ease my pain..

thanks guys!

How about a description of WHAT causes it?

does it increase in frequency with speed (drivetrain) or rpm (engine)?

how does cornering affect it (suspension)

from your 'pebble on tyre', perhaps you should try rotating all the tyres individually (by hand?)...

EDIT: fixed spelling

Edited by ebola

I have had this problem (attributable to increase in speed) it occurs for me when going over 80km/h and then disappears about 100km/h

It was not engine related. Why the past tense well...

I did the following

Secured fron fog lamp leads

Secured inner guard after lower section removed

Got tyres pulled off rims to remove dirt balls the build up sometimes

A HOST of other things to ni avail

Then one day...it just went away...had me stumped, mechanic stumped

Fulcrum stumped...its the little gremlin, maybe I went fast enough that he finally f#cked off

i had a constant clicking sound

it was one of the vents in the aircon system not closing quite properly, and it'd keep trying forever

click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click

hmm. has it had a manuel conversion done?

ive had it where the dust cover on the back of the box had a dent in it. rubbed the tailshaft each revolution.

also check the tailshaft for ware. ie.centre bearing(midle bit) and the unis.

also stones can get behind the brake disk backing plate. similar sound

but i really need to know if it speeds up with the car/engine ctc

ive got the same thing. firstly it was a screw in my tyre. got some coilovers put in and then got the puncture fixed. noise is still there. only happens on certain types of road surfaces and whenever i turn right. it is also relative to speed too.

Its got nothing to do with engine... now that you mention CVs. my mums camrys CVs were about to go and the sound was similar. my clicking noise only comes when i take off, gear down and sometimes when i plank it and boost picks up quikly....it is definatly at my right rear wheel... it clicks alot going up my drive way because of the up hill.... i just changed the shocks but i had this problem b4 hand so its not them ... im so confused

Can you swap the drive shafts left-2-right? See if that causes the sound to come from the left. That would start pointing the finger at the CV joint (which is my guess, regardless).

I dont know if this helps but my car clicks whenever i turn the wheel cos my steering rack needs to be overhauled. The r32s steering racks bugger up pretty quick around the 100k mark. But id desnt sond like it comes from there all the time but.

Another thing is i have on my car is cos its a fourdoor the seat belt is pretty slack once its on(due to the sorter front door). The socket or whatever u want to call, it clicks everytime i move it clicks dunno why but it clicks, very annoying.

clearly im wasting my time :)

Ooooooooooooooo! What an angry frog :(

By the looks of this thread you haven't checked back in since you started it but if it makes you feel any better i to have an R32 with the exact same click noise from the right hand wheel as well!

I'm a mechanic and have been meaning to have a crack at tarcking this gremlin down but haven't had enough time to even start the car let alone fix things for months. I also have access to a skyline Guru so i might even ask him if he has struck it before and will try to keep everyone informed

On mine = when stationary engage the clutch for a brisk take off and straight away as if with the torsion applied to the rear a very quick "click,click" and also occasionally after a stong acceleration with a sudden off throttle, same thing.

Once i held the hand brake on and tried it = still there = rules that out

Possibly a CV but thats an awful big call when there are so many other things You'd check prior and without disassembling you car! also when ever i've had CV's clicking it does it all the time in many driving conditions.

I think a pair of chassis ears will be the go.

But my first port of call would be to really clean up the rear brake pads and apply brake grease to any contact surfaces and make sure they hve the shims they're supposed to!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
