Gts4: Clicking When Cornering

When i corner in my R33 GTS4 i hear a clicking noise coming from the outside wheel (so when turning left the noise comes from the right wheel and visa-versa). I presumed that the noise was bad CV joints so i had them inspected, however they are in perfect condition.

The noise is relative to speed (The faster i am going the more often the clicks are), and seems to be affected by temperature, on cold mornings when the car is cold the clicks are louder. Today for example (its pretty hot outside) i havent heard the noise once. The same thing when i took it to the mechanic, he drove it for 30 mins and never heard the noise.

Any idea what could be causing the sound?

not sure from both of your posts if its a constant clicking noise similar to the cv joint noise, but if its a simple 2 click or three click noise your getting it may a front bush.

For example on my silvia i had a front lower control arm bush i think (could be wrong it was a long while ago) and everytime i would hit a drive way or a dip followed by a rise it would basically dislodge and hit steel on steel (bolt to mount).

one weekend took the car to pedders and paid my $14 for a sus check and they picked it right away.

sounds like you boys could have a problem with a bush somewhere.

Whatever the problem is its getting worse, i am now getting a vibration (in a constant pattern, so every x seconds i'll feel a vibration/jutter. The faster i go the more frequent the vibration).

Should i try taking it to pedders, or go to a 4WD specialist? I took the car to AUtech last week, but the car never clicked once the whole time it was there (this is before the vibration started though :-/

i second the wheel bearing as the problem, i had a similar issue and was wheels bearing, one very easy way to tell jack the car up and see if you and move the wheel side to side (as not in the rolling direction) if you feel play in the wheel it will be the wheel bearing. the other things to look at are the steering rack mounts they can do simialr things

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
