Ticking Sound When Accelarating From A Stop

Hi all, my v35 usually has this ticking sound when I accelerate from a standstill. It's usually just a "tick" when I step on the accelarator and that's it. No lost of power, no other issue.

Anyone has that same sound? Is this normal?

Help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Does it happen every time?

If it happens to the brake pedal, then it is normal as the V35 does self ABS check each time the you press the brake for the first time after starting the car. You will feel it when your foot is on the brake pedal.

Not all the time. I know which noise you are talking about. Yes, my car does that too and it's like a grinding noise when the car first reaches a speed of around 20kmh. The ticking noise I am talking about is different. It's a "tick" noise that happens just as the car starts moving from a standstill. From memories I think other cars has that sound too but may not be as loud.

No.. I'm talking about the 'tick' sound when you start moving..

taken from the v35 manual...

The anti-lock brake system consists of electronic sensors, electric pumps, and hydraulic solenoids controlled by a computer. The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.

This could be the sound that you are talking about.

That sound comes from your rear right wheel. if you open the window you will hear that sound. Lets lubricate guidings when you take a wheel off. You won't be able to hear that sound if you spin a wheel when car on a jack.

Alvin, yes I know which noise you are refering to. This "tick" noise is a different sound to that. It's a sound that's when you release the brake and press the accelerator, there's a "tick" when the car start moving. Not when it has moved to a certain speed when the ABS test comes in.

Nick, I do think the noise probably comes from the rear. Not sure if it's the right wheel but when I lower the window, I do hear the "tick" sound coming from the rear. Any idea what's the reason and what I need to do to sort it or is it just a sound that I can ignore? Thanks!

Hi there, I've got that ABS check noise. and the tick noise you mention maybe because of the rear wheel bearing which is a simple problem , or just lube the rear axel and maybe it will gone. have a check in the garage... should be no big deal though...

Thanks for that Will! Anyone else has experience the same noise, please share! Or anyone has ideas of what it might be, do share too! Cheers!

Hey Nick, can you explain further on what I need to do to check this out? Thanks!

had something similar to this on my first V35: apparently it was very light surface rust on the driveshafts: they were cleaned and greased, and the sound never came back... Don't know if this is the same problem you have have, but it was a simple and easy fix...

Thanks Micah! Seems like most ppl are commenting that a simple lubricating work will do the trick! Planning to send the car into City Nissan after another 1 or 2k km, so see if that can be sorted out together. Or do you reckon it's a really simple DIY job?

Cheers!

I also have that 'tick' noise in my gt8, more noticeable when in man. mode and driving with haste, usually get the noise when I am braking firmly and down shifting usually dropping into second or first, then another tick when I accelerate hard.

I will give this clean and lube option a go.

Hey James, update me on how u get on with this! Been super busy at work and don't think I'll get the chance to do this til next month. So if you test it out and it works, I'll do it ASAP as well!

Cheers!

Hey guys... I've just done a pre-purchase inspection today (after 3 weeks having the car as I can't sort out a time with my dealer to get this done with the AA).

Turns out the tick sound is coming from the rear right brake. According to the inspector, it's due to a slightly loose clip on the brake pad which cause the tick sound. He said it's a minor issue and a easy quick fix so I'll probably get that sorted when I do my service or I was thinking I will perhaps discuss this with my dealer to see if he can sort it out quickly.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
