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....

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
