Hey Everyone,

Just recently my GTS-T started making a knock sound as you start it up cold just serviced it and the oil level is where it should be. It only make the sound probably 2 out of 5 start ups could it be a coil pack getting tired ? any help would be much appreciated Ive got it booked in to get looked at on the 5th but im trying to sort it out asap

cheers

I had a similar problem to you a while ago but as it weird as it sounds, it turned out to be one of the pipes from the 'cooler that was a bit loose and was rubbing against something during startup.

We found this out by letting it to roll to a stop whilst in gear so that it shudders (I know, bad for the car) to the point of stalling and voila, the knocking noise appeared due to the vibrations. Maybe give that a go?

Did you change oil filter brands? I used Drift filters a couple of times and found the anti drain valves leaked overnight.

I had the exact thing with the drift filter I used - won't ever use one of those again.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
