Hey when i bought my car it had a slight rattle sound coming from underneath.. The rattle sound would only come on if my foot wasnt on the gas it sounds like a rock hitting something or a bit of metal knocking against something. After a month of having my car I was nearrly involved in a acident which caused me mount a curb to miss this car. Lucky no cosmetic damage was done but it made a big Boom when i hit the curb..(I hit the front tyre and yer did a sorta bunny hop over it).. I pulled over to check if any damage and yer none as i said.. then i start driving and i notice after a few minutes that the rattle sound was gone.. I WAS LIKE WOOOPP WOOOP.. then just today ive hit a curb by being a fkn idiot having my seet all the way down and driving gangsta styles lol.. And now the rattle has come back to haunt me.. If anyone would be able to help me with this curb ball :P its doing my head in already .. makes me not want to drive my car :P and i love driving !!! HELP PLZZZ

Is it coming from the cat area? Sometimes the welds break inside the pipe and you get bits of metal caught in the cat that rattles like a mofo, better or worse depending on gas flow. The other option is to get it up on stands and just take a look.

Let us know how you go.

i mounted an island once because some old man with a stupid acubra hat didnt keep his lane,,,,, I used to get a grinding sound when i put the car in reverse or when i dropped the gear without accelterating, it sounded like stone grinding..... anyway lifted it up and it was a piece of mettal that got bent and was rubbing on the rear axle, i just bent it out of the way..... cant remeber if the metal was from one of the exhaust mounts or an axle guard...

anyway it would be something simple like that

IM going to get it checked out tomoz.. a mate of mine he looked under my car and where the cat is like that metal shield going over . he taped it with a bottle and it sorta made the same sound.. but yer im gona take it in tomoz get it up on the hoist and diagnose this mother licker.. no more gangsta driving low rider styles haha :banana:

i took it to the mechanic the other day it was heat shield the bit on the exhaust which makes ur exhaust sound softer dno what its called i forgot.. but that was rubbing against the little turbine that spins (located dead in the middle under the car) dno what thats called lol .. But gona get it fixed and just remove that shield i think it is and get a 3 inch pipe and stick it in and chuck out the shield thingy lol... so gona be alot louder :down:

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
