Hi Folks,

Have heard knocks comming from rear of car (s2 rs4) when driving over sharp bumps and have always put it down to the Tein coil overs untill Today.

I have attached two pics of what i knoticed when jacking up the car. It appears there is some seriouse movement in the rear main frame bushes. What do you think, could this be the noise ?

Do these pics look normal? i would have thought this should not move at all...

not necessarily a problem, the bushes have metal sleeves inside which create the clearance. what was the jack under when the pic was taken (subframe or not).

easiest way to get it checked out is to head to pedders and hand over $15 or whatever it is for their bush check.

Yeah thanks, i have been to pedders on two occasions and parted with the cash and first time was told there is nothing wrong, second time was told the exhaust was hitting the bumper. I know what metal on metal sounds like and its not the exhaust.

The money is not the issue here, i just want it fixed what ever it is.

And yeah it was on bricks in one pic, and the other jacked up slightly.

fair enough....I wouldn't go there for detailed set up hints but they should be able to spot simple stuff like that. probably best going to an import workshop if you need it checked out properly...whereabouts in sydney are you?

I've had the zorst knocking on underfloor noise , its a low sort of clunk, often couple in a row. whereas suspension tends to be a single, repeatable clunk. is the top nut on the coilovers tight, ie are the springs trapped properly? can you see any dodgy bushes (lots to check....much easier on a hoist)

Get under the car and see if you can push the exhaust to hit anywhere and if you can it probably is hitting. Try bending or adjusting the hangers or see if the rubber mounts are flogged out or missing.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
