hi guys,

funny noise appears but only when i go over a sudden bump (regardless of speed) i can be doing 10km/h or 60km/h & a little divit in the road will set it off - sounds like a thump "DOOMP" when it happens.

what can i check? ive got it jacked up so i can go over all of the nuts & bolts...maybe its a worn bush?

Could be the wooden board in that back of ya boot (The one sitting on top of ya spare tyre in the boot under the carpet), if not, do you have aftermarket suspension? Could be the shocks / springs 'rebounding' as the car bounces up and down.

I also have a knock sound but mine sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car. It happens over sharp bumps but is also very bad when turning Left over bumpy road but not when i turn right which is funny. It also keeps clunking over bumps not just one clunk. I also got a $14 28 point suspension safety check done and pedders could not find anything either. it is Like a rattle hopefully i can find it and if any one has any ideas let me know because it is driving me INSANE!!!!!

i just found the front end knock - after checking & confirming all nuts are tight i then jiggled the front wheels whilst on the jack, the noise is from the top arm where it mounts to the inside of the strut tower.

i can actually hear the noise from the top & see it move back/forth a couple of mm (when it should only move up/down)

hopefully this helps anyone else out there - now where should i get these bushings that sit in the top arm?

^^Sounds like you might need a new CV joint Boot / Cover...?

Did you check out ya tyre / caster rods? And I think there is one more rod, can't remember the name, LOL!

Check all around that area and see how you go...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
