Was informed by Main North Nissan today that they have three owners with the clicking problem at the moment and are narrowing down the cause on a test mule. So they told me to hold off bringing in mine till they sort it out. I told them about the info available on the US forums regarding missing top anti rattle springs and loose tie rod ends and it appeared to be news to them! We'll see if they can come up with a permanent fix soon.

Theres a few different things the clicking noise can be. There is the pins through the calipers have a small piece on them which can rattle over bumps, and also puting a slight bit of grease on the wheel to hub matting face seems to fix a few of them when its not the pins. Alot of them its from the drivetrain, and is normal operating noise.

Went to book my car in to Main North Nissan to fix my rattle/creaking front wheels only to be informed by the Asst Service manager that they have NO fix for the problem and theres nothing I can do except drive around with an embarrassing noise coming from my wheels on even mild turning now. I asked him if Nissan is happy with the situation that their premier model sounds like a 20 year old clunker and even causes heads to turn for all the wrong reasons when maneuvering around a shopping centre car park. He didn't seemed to perturbed by that idea. So what should I do now? Kick up a big stink with Nissan HQ and argue that if a camry made that noise they would definitely fix it and that I find it amazing that Nissan cant find a fix for something that clearly does not afflict every GT-R out there? Do you think its concern that if it is brake related that they are up for the whole shebang 4x rotors and pads if thats what it takes to fix it? Id at least have a go at the anti rattle clip solution, i mean what have they got to lose?

Thoughts please?

just had moorooka nissan fix this for me last week during the POS.

perhaps your guys can call moorooka?

they cleaned down the interface between the rotor and hub and applied grease.

not there anymore.

I am not sure how long this fix lasts as some people have this recur.

Last time i had this clicking noise, i tightended the tie rod ends and it went away. However, i need to report back and say it came back a few days later. I had a track day a couple of weeks later (swapped track wheels and road tyres a couple of times) and the noise has been absent since. I've never done any deliberate cleaning of hubs etc. I'm really starting to wonder if anyone knows what this problem actually is. Could it be something simpler, like the hub making this noise if the wheel nuts aren't torqued properly? Maybe just try torqueing the wheel nuts to try? I know it sounds silly but i would give it a try if you can be stuffed.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
