Hi All,

Ive had this anoying sqeak for the past week or so only notice it when im going slow and theirs minimal road noise (under say 40km/h). Tonight decided to investigate it a bit more. Ive worked out that when I push down on the Passenger front guard to compress/move suspension it makes the sound.

I removed the wheel and sprayed some inox on the any moving parts i could see to see if somethings just super dry or whatever and then put the wheel back on and had another push and the f**kers still their. :blink:

If i was to remove the coilover and completely remove all the suspension components lube them up and re install will I loose any camber or toe/alignment settings?

Any ideas?

Cheers

i had the same thing. and i know the frustration in trying to find it. but i ended up finding it.

pull the wheel off and undo the bolt at the front of the upper control arm. the is a bush in there with a spring assisted lip seal on it. get some lubex or inox or similar and spary it inside that bush. i poped the spring off and gently lifted the seal up with a small flatblade screwdriver and spayed a heap of Lubex in there.

when you are putting it all back together, put the bolt back in and just nip it up. then lower the car first before doing it up tight.

Yep, QWK32 has it right: I had exactly the same issue from both sides at the front: lubed up all the bushes and it was fine... I'd give that a shot first, and chances are it'll fix the issue.

what am i being carefull for when it springs up will it bash the guard? or just keep my hands clear?

If its just to avoid hand injury ill get cheffstagea over here to do it and not tell him... ive bled many times due to his cars :@!

yeppp cheeerssss

Bang on the money here guys!

Jacked the front on stands. off with the wheel.

Took the bolt out and removed the spings from each seal and pried the seals off. Sprayed some inox inside and then pulled the inserts out of the bush and greased the life out of everyhting. Put it back together and put wheel on dropped car down and snugged the bolt up.

Queit as a mouse =)

Thanks a heap josh!

You could just use the whiteline adjustable ones, I've got them in but I'm starting to get the noise on the RHS. I just had a wheel alignment so I'm not going to bother stuffing up my front camber settings just to get rid of a slight squeak.

Just tried to get the MF out. No can do with 17mm ring an two foot lever. Need to get my rattler back.

Incidently when I wanted to search for this thread I typed in "squeak' and got no response. The original post was "sqeak".

Typed that and bingo.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
