I also have this problem. Both sides from the struts, pretty much only when its cold. Im assuming may have something to do with strut brace? It may be too tight or too loose? Can someone verify please, it is quite annoying.

Could be a worn out shock. Worn out shocks usually make a 'rubbing' 'creaking' noise when going over speed humps.

Like what's said above, probably best to change the bushes while you're at it.

My r33 has been doing this alot lately, i can hear it the most when turrning the wheel at slow speeds(ie speed humps), and when pulling into a driveway at angle etc....it sounds like the squeel is coming from the rear, but i can hear the front as well.......sound travels though,.....what is this?and will it progressively get worst?

Well, i took my car to the mechanic today to show him and of course the noise wasnt there, not even going over speed humps. He said when it starts again to go straight to him so he can have a look. Until then, ill never know.

haha don't you hate it when that happens? You go to show someone to show them what's wrong with the car and the problem never happens.

did camber/castor bushes front, rear camber kit, whiteline swaybars with the associated bushes, new bilsteins means that the eye in the bottom of the shock in the rear wont squeak, it was the bushes/bars that stopped my creaking.

Do urethane bushes squeak?

Basically NO. squeaking is caused by high frequency vibrations that can be heard rather than felt. Usually the cause of squeaking is the incorrect application of grease (not greasing the correct areas eg: flange faces & internal bores), greasing the incorrect areas (outside of bushes designed to be installed inside the suspension component) or even over greasing (applying grease everywhere), however the presence of rust, paint or rubber deposits between the bush and the component or housing can also be a major factor.

check your brake pads..

i had this same "creaking" noise on my R32 but could only hear it at low speeds

turns out it was the fact that my break pads were so lowthat the pistons in the caliper were creaking from having to move so far to engage the pad!

Haha reminds me of my old VN SS. It was an auto and was stalling constantly. So much so, I wouldnt bother driving unless I really had to. Took it to a workshop, they had it all day running and constant driving. No stalling...

Got it back the next day. Stalled constantly and I then sold it to a mate and never had the problem EVER.

(And no, it didnt have a clutch! :thumbsup:)

Back on topic, my car does this too.. only out of my driveway in the morning.. I suppose everyone has to wake up :D

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
