Ok about 6 weeks ago my car starting making this really weird LOUD clicking/ticking/grinding noise at the rear. The clicking speeds up as I accelerate; ALSO... the noise seems to sort of change when i gently pull the handbrake up as i'm driving.

THEN, after a couple of weeks, the noise just went away. Sometimes a really really faint ticking could be heard but that was about it.

Then, all of a sudden, it came back dammit. I thought it might be pads; got those changed, the discs were fine as well.

Apart from the fact that it is REALLY annoying, the car seems to turn, accelerate, stop fine.

What is it?

Ok wtf.... i was driving home from work just before and the noise was there, just as loud as ever pissing me right off.

Then as i'm driving along normally I hear a *SNAP* from the rear... noise is gone.

At the top of my street, I turned my car off and let it roll to my house... can hear a really really really faint ticking noise from the handbrake. It MUST be a handbrake related issue. Can't be the diff... diff still seems to lock up fine, and the noise doesn't change when cornering. Maybe driveshaft/axle problem... BUT WHY DOES IT GO AWAY AND COME BACK!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE DAMMIT :)

My car is possessed.

I had this problem,

in my case it was the handbrake cable coming out of its holder and hitting the driveshaft

Because the driveshaft is spinning thats whats causing the rapid metallic clicking sounds - the handbrake cable is metal too.

Look under your car towards the rear to check if your handbrake cable is hanging loosely very close to the driveshaft

sorry for resurecting, but yes, you're absolutely right. Being the lazy guy that I am, only got around to it yesterday. It had actually ripped a fair bit of the rubber casing off the driveshaft =(

anyway, problem solved :O

Bingo! I had a custom made shaft made up with an oversized yolk and uni joint and it sounded like a playing card on a pushbike spoke. It drove me nuts trying to find it until I pulled the tailshaft and i could actually see it.

The cable is held on by a fold over tab to the back of the tunnel and the larger uni joint grabbed it under acceleration.

The cure was easy peasy. just put the cable on the other side of the tab and fold it away from the uni rather than towards it.

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]
