I've got a rattle in the passenger side rear end , sounds like a blown shocky or loose rear strut , but it aint , because I've got new rear struts and I changed them myself and I know they aint loose.

It dosen't do it all the time but I can bring it on by giving it a bit if boot on a sharp lefthander as long as there is a bump in the road on the corner--you would be amazed at how many corners do have a bump in them.--or maybe not. :P

I've jacked up the back at both sides and can't get anything wobbling when tugged or bushes hanging out or obviously fraked.

Any ideas anyone ???

Oh yup ita an R34GTT.

after I up-specced my sway bar and exhaust I had the zaust swinging a little when turning and/or on a bumpy surface, so I got the occasional tap between the two. Solved the problem by getting some hi-temp silicon (rad pipe would do) and zippy tieing it on so that any clang is minimized... :P

try you'r zaust and bash it around next time it's up... see if that makes a noise....

Zorst AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGH :blink: gotta big oval 3.5" in and out Varex at the end of my system -culprit---I'm bettin' it is. Thanks mate.

KeeperPosted Yesterday, 05:50 PM checked the subframe mounting bushings??? look for crap dripping out of the front ones, looks like jelly.

Thanks for that-just checked and still dry as- no aeroplane atall- good call though I'll keep an eye on them as the front castor rods sprang a jelly not long ago so as the rear subby's are jelly too {which I didn't know)they may be going to follow suite :cool: .

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
