gday fellow skyliners and import people,

over the last month my 32 gtst has develop a really irrataiting sqeaking noise coming from the rear of the car (right hand side)

i had a similar problem with the car about 10 months ago on the same side and the guyse from tyrepower rekon the previous owner stikytaped something together in one of the joints and that wat was sqeaking anyway, the problem has come back and i was just woundering if you guys have any idea what it could be and perhaps give me some this to start looking at ?

all help and opinions are welcome,

thanks in advance guys.

Q1. Is the noise mainly occurring when going over bumps and speed humps?

A1. Get a 'free' check with Pedders or Jax (- maybe $25) and they'll give you a list. The urgent one is probably the problem one. Some of them, might not be urgent at all and they want to make $$ out of you. Pick their brains. Could be bushes/ball joint etc.

Q2. Is the noise more pronounced if you're going through a corner and applying mild acceleration? Or doing tight circles left and right?

A2. Tell your mechanic to check it over. Perhaps the previous owner used the sticky tape over the drive shaft boot?

Your question is a bit too indistinct - lacking detail. But it's hard to describe a noise I know.

Hahah sory mate,

Um the noise definatly seems to be there mainly when im gong over bumps, but sayi g that its akson there whilst normal drivng is in action, so yea, also i might point out that when i push up and down, and side to side on the rear of the car the noise is akso occouring?

What do you reckon mate?

And i do have coilovers but there brand new and i mean 1000k, if that.

Thanks for your help guys appreciate it :P

Sounds like a bush.

Just take what Pedders say with a grain of salt. Well known to tell people "every bush needs to be replaced, front to back", so don't be a sucker.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
