Hi guys,

Recently ive realised that my cars been making funny noises especially in the cold morning when turning the car on for the first time of the day. Problem is i don't know whether this sound was always there or not cuz its really not THAT loud enough to hear from inside the car.

What happened was, i was doing an oil change so my bonnet was open then i turned the car on to let the oil circulate, then when i turned it on i hear this short "crunching" sorta sound from the passengers side whereabouts the a/c thing is but couldn't precisely locate where its coming from. It happens everytime i turn the car on and on and slowly goes away till when the engine is completely warm. So please could anyone help with some suggestions or have had similar issues like mine and tell me what this is?

I would appreciate it alot as im in a tight budget go actually go see a mechanic for this at the moment as my rear bars been hit and need repairs :D

Cheers

To give abit of info to those with GTT R34:

- It usually makes a similar sorta noise when turning the climate control knob from high/low but its from the dash that i hear it.

- The issue is i hear it under the bonnet so i lift the bonnet up and try looking for the noise and its whereabouts the BOV is

What im again curious about is, could this come from the same matter? Anyone have these climate control sounds? then similar when turning car on?

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
