hey guys i need some major help...

(i posted this in mechanical but nobody is helpful at all) anyways... here goes:

every time i drive, EVERY TIME... whether it be slight acceleration to soft and/or hard braking AND when i go on soft bumps i hear this strange squeaking sound coming from my right hand side...

let me try to explain it a tiny bit better...

it's like a squeaking/squealing/whistling sound that is related to bumps in the road like also similar to when a tyre is flat but the flat tyre can be heard on a stand still...

this is only heard when car is in motion and has been like this for around a week now

i HAD an idea that it could be one of my air screw things because i only have 3 out of the 4 on my wheels so one of my wheels is missing the air screw thing (you know, the one you take off to pump air into the tyres) yeah and thought it was that, i changed it from the back to the front (still on the right hand side) and didn't notice a difference in the volume, in saying that i haven't changed it to the left but i don't think it could be that either...

it's also a similar sound to where your locknuts are loose and the further you drive the looser they get, they have that weird metal on metal scraping sound... i've checked my nuts, they seem to be quite tight (LOL that sounded quite funny but please keep the jokes to yourself) so i don't think it's them either...

ANYBODY have a theory they can throw at me?

i am just hoping it's not my suspension or my wheels as i suspect and that i just seriously don't want to find myself losing a wheel on the freeway or whatever during peak etc. well losing my wheel or having my car fall flat on its hole because of it...

any guidance would be insanely appreciated, i'm stressing here!

cheers,

Andrew

P.S: i have an unknown suspension setup, car was brought from japan basically as is, yet to find out what suspension it has... ta

Yeh, its something around there. Did you want to bring it over and I'll pull ur wheel off and have a look for you. I was thinking something along the lines or bearings or something. Altho I dont think Skylines have any grease nipples? Txt me if ur interested mate. I'll see what I can do.

no no, its a gerbal aint it Andrew...lol... such a funny word!!

Joo lost ya gerbal innit!!

BTW, ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO TIMING ON 34... NEED IT DONE... FREE OF COURSE...LOL

Another thing that happened with my R33 was my intercooler piping was slightly touching the inside bit of the front bar at the bottom, where they had cut in order to fit it in the first place, so was making this sweaking sound while driving and when going over bumps etc, have you got an after market FMIC?

try playing with the little lock pins in the centre of ya wheel... i got it once, i was the only one that could hear it too... played with em, as in pulled them out and put em back in so they were tighter.... worked for me, spray a little crc, sweet as!!

    • Back on topic for you for a post Will it be on pump or ethanol? 2025 Spec RB build: G30 660 .83 would be good  artec manifold turbosmart 45mm external gate 1000cc Injectors Kelford cams 264 and springs Pistons and rods for insurance Oil pump with billet gears Headdrain and all good oil mods Quality intercooler 3.5 inch dump pipe to decent exhaust Link plugin Ecu or what ever your tuning is comforatble with Bolt on Trigger Kit - Nzwiring kit is go to ARP Headstuds Quality headgasket quality fuel pump- a TI/walbro 525lph PWM would be the go Quality fuel reg Will be over $15K AUD Enjoy the noise of rb on gate at over 7400rpm. Start looking for gearbox conversions if your hard on the gear. Now I've been there and done that with rb powered street car (2007-2022) much prefer newer stuff. Anything 90's Japanese is not a great experience these days and highly over rated. My 2015 Brz with a heap of suspension mods is such a better car even with out the power of my old s chassis' even on track. If wanting to play light chassis and decent power for a  giggle a k swap 86/brz would be the go Check my old build for engine stuff I really need to pay attention to post 2016 BMW stuff but seem all very heavy 1600+kg  
    • I mean, the 240i is not a Supra... make it drop a few hundred kg, have a sportscar chassis, clearance for wheels etc... Maybe I want a hardtop Z40i XDrive or something :p I do agree with you though and have long said the B58 Supra/240i/340i/440i is the new R Chassis/JDM90's turbo rocket for mod lovers to ... not always appreciative response lol. Doesn't make it not true though.
    • I will do the build myself but I will be paying for the tune because I don't know how much about that and would rather it be done right and by a professional 
    • Will you build and tune it yourself or do you need to pay for labour? 
    • Mechanically that's essentially what the M240i is, it's just not pretending it's not a BMW
