Hey guys, just wondering what you guys think about this...

Have a weird repetitive sound, sounds like metal on metal. Happens when im driving at any speed, and if im driving in a straight line, and nudge or turn the steering wheel right it goes away but still continues if i turn left. Had also a bit of a bingle with a gutter on that wheel a few months ago though just started happening constantly 2 weeks ago.

Whats a way to diagnose if its the actual wheel bearing again?

Thanks again

Yeah i did that last week and they seemed to be fine. I think i may have found the problem though going to check the front brakes tomorrow. All this time i had been thinking that there was plenty of meat left as i had replaced them last year though realised now i did the rears not the fronts *facepalm* my friend was standing at the front of my house, and could hear it at least a good 80metres way... thank god they didn't seize. :(

re-checked nuts and that today, and also the brake pads. the fronts look brand new.

in the process of this i also found that my front right tie rod end bush was split in half and collapsed. but i doubt that would make the sound.

anyone else have an idea?

clutch - yeah im thinking its that again... dam!

Also get your park (hand) brake serviced/re-greased - it may not be retracting properly after many years.

I had the same problem on my R34.

Had all my brake pads changed and rear rotors machined - the tech noticed the park brake system sticking.

He gave it a clean and a grease - no more problems.

I think you should always park the car in gear....

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
