Anyone had a similar experience on a 32, Gts-t, no that it matters really caus its definately an interior item making the noise (I THINK), and they are more or less the same.

Anyway, evcerytime i find a pothole in the rd (Adelaide roads are shocking so this happens many times), it sounds as if something towards the rear seats or speakers etc rattles, ive checked the seats and they seem to be down firmly (i got a seat rattle ages ago but fixed that all up) but now there is another problem.

Anyone had anything similar happen????

otherwise open the boot, and on the passengers side under the carpet there is a hole (where some cars have their jack). check down in there. i pulled out a matchbox car, some makeup, and a few other random pieces of junk from previous owners.

Worn bushes can make a variety of noises, tho usually a knocking noise depending on which bush it is. Get under the car and go over all your bushes with a torch and a pry bar making sure you flex them enough to see any cracks or sloppyness.

I had a similar rattle over bumpy roads from the parcel shelf area of the rear of my r33 gts-t , turned out it was loose top mounts of the rear suspension struts , which mount in the parcel shelf area (a bugger to get to as well!!!!!).....easy to tighten up once you get to them....

lMAO who stores makeup in a hole under the carpet in the boot? was it a white powder?

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
