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.

    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)
