Has anyone notice when first starting up, most times for me, and when the initial rev occurs a rattle type sound?? (hope that is a good description!)

Also as mosoto stated about when in idle there is a slight rattling occuring, you can here this on the outside on the drivers side?? (sounds like a flywheel type sound I suppose)

First start up?..yes..same here...no issue with that, as it happens so rarely, and certainly doesn't mean impending doom. (I've also heard it on other V35's)....oh, I think it's more of a bumpety bump, minus the lower frequencies.

That farking 'idle' rattle/ticking??....I got a new gearbox..(for lots of other reasons).....all good now....I believe that particular noise has to do more with the crazy/ over engineered flywheel the 35's have......inspect/look at a stock one if you ever get the chance....way too much going on with that design.!!

Yeah who knew?  Mot me. But the mechanic at Tokyo Prestige was straight onto it. Whipped the wheel off, smeared a small amount of grease on the mounting surface, reassembled with wheel nuts done nice

Yeah yeah I think I know what you are talking about!...

A very slight rattling noise that is over in less than 2 seconds? Sounds like something from the gearbox.

Only occasionally comes out during the first movement of the day, even though I warm up my car before moving off....

That's called a fart............... :closedeyes:

but seriously as spit said, it's more a knocking than a rattle. Sounds like the tappet noise you get in an old holden. It has been attrributed to the flywheel on Gdriver forums as well which makes sense given mine does not go away, hot or cold.

Ok!!

Tonight disarmed my car, got in, and due to force of habit I pushed the drivers side lock latch so that both doors would lock, and I noticed that the passenger side latch did not move! pressing the central locking button made no difference. If I manually push the latch it feels as if it is not catching (if it is suppose to) and the door will lock, if I then either unlock with the drivers side latch or central locking button the passenger side latch will unlock fine, just not with my side latch or locking button.

Anyone seen this before? is it something I can look at myself by removing the door trim?

(Also freakishly the BOSE CD player was just going through all the CDs as if they weren't in there!! but now seems ok! :))

my problems......

1. my bose cd player is goneskies. wont read any cds. solution? i got chris to put an ipod cable so now i can listen to ipod. this will tie me over for 1 yr or so until i decide to get an aftermarket stereo system. its not a priority right now, as i think the stock BOSE system does an ok job.

2. The paint is weak as anything. These cars scratch very easily! i have a few scratches here and there which i will get taken care of when i get my bodykit put on, i might go and respray the whole car at the same time.

3. The leather on my drivers side seat, where it meets the plastic on the right hand side near the lever to make the seat lean forward so people can get in the back.......... it has started to crack. I plan to retrim the seats too so i really dont care, want to get some better leather trim put in the car.

4. Rear Axel Click - this started happening on my car but i took the TSB to pro concept in west ryde and Joshua there fixed it for me. no more rear click!

Thats all my problems i have had so far

actuator time. I have a few on order if you need one.

I've had the same problem with my driver's side door not locking automatically.

When Chris comes down to Melbourne again in August to install my alarm, he will fix that for me too, it's a little expensive to get it all replaced, but will need to be done!!!

It started working all day today! :)

I really hope it doesn't keep happening cause I can't afford to spend anymore $$ for a while!

Also if I really had to I'd probably use my extended warranty to do so. I wonder if they will still cover it if I say I can get the part?? hmm!

has anyone had any issues with the auto motor on the drivers seat not working when you flip the seat? otherwise the seat works.

just looking at a car at the moment and I know I need passengers window motor and possibly the central locking is gone if its no the remote/key battery.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
