Hi I have got a GTR R34 and I have got a knocking sound front/rear suspension, noise sounds just like the shock mounts are loose but I have checked them and they are fine, I have also checked the suspension arm bushes and doesn't seem to be any play there, only get the noise when the road is a little rough, it is not there on the smooth road.

Does anyone have any ideas, I seem to think the ball joints on the outer bearing carrier for the axles have got play in them???? I am going to replace them anyway the front has got a large one on top and a smaller one bottom and the rear has got one on the bottom where can i get these...

Hopefully sort it out giving me the sh....ts. Just had the car of the road for 9 months gettingnew engine,PPG gearbox,brakes now want to sort this.

Cheers Dave.

It must be damn hot working up there in Cairns David!

Can you take your car to get an 'efficient but cheap' 24 or 50 point check with either Pedders or Jax?

Then you can act on the report yourself.

My 1st cousin, also a David is a head mechanic at Cairns Toyota. I believe he's a good diagnostician if required. He knows me as Terry, not Tez

Hope this helps.

Tez

let me know how you go with this, i have some interesting noises that ALWAYS disappear whenver i drive near my suspension place, so damn annoying!

mine are 99% from the rear only though. They have also checked once to make sure everything is tight.

Does your happen whilst turning or just going straight over bumpy roads?

Thanks for the reply's from everyone, no its not the coil overs they are Ohlins Flag R the best you can get brand new when I did the engine, only happens when Im going over a potholed road or a rough road, more noticeable at low speed because of less road noise in the car.

Will have to take it in but dont want some dickhead working on it......

How stiff have you got the damper settings?

Hello Bakes,

I have got them set at mid setting, is not coming from the shocks but the rear noise is associated with wheel travel, Im pretty sure it is the ball joint the rear bottom arm is mounted on.

OK, good luck with getting it all sorted. Try and take it to a specialist place that work on GTR's etc. Id avoid the mainstrem places

Think I have found the problem there is excessive play in the Hicas rod ends, the ball joints closest to the rack. I will have to source new ones..

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
