Bit Of A Problem

hey guys got a bit of a problem i need some help with

whilst driving lately ive noticed alot of noise coming from the passenger side rear wheel, its like a creaking groaning noise, you can only hear it when driving slowy through carparks etc. Anyway my rotors were due to be changed out so the new ones have been fitted and ive now noticed that when i turn right i can hear the back rotor grinding on something.

So today i jacked the car up and took the wheel off to have a look, the caliper and pads all look fine (the pads are brand new) but it looks like the rotor has just been hitting the inside of the caliper as it has scrape marks on it. While fiddling around i noticed that i can move the whole rotor and hub up and down, its got about 10mil play in it, when the wheel was back on u can put one hand on top and one on the bottom and wiggle it quite easily which is pretty alarming.

anyone got any clues as to wat this could be as my mechanical knowledge is average

cheers Nick :blink:

have you had the tires changed latley? it could even just be off balance. If its the wheel bearings the centre of ur wheel gets hot check it after you go for a drive or jack it up and give the wheel a shake to see if theres any play from the hub

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
