Hey guys. Yesterday I was driving around, parked the car and came back. Drove for 5 mins when I started to hear a loud knock/thump from my rear right corner. Almost as if my tyre is flat (and it isn't) the noise only comes when in not on the throttle but is silent when I'm braking it on the throttle..

Whats going on?

the noise only comes when in not on the throttle but is silent when I'm braking it on the throttle..

Translation / clarification please

Meantime, check:

wheel nuts loose

wheel bearing shagged.

+1 for wheel bearing, have you checked the wheel for movement side to side?

just on the weekend i had a wheel bearing go on a boat trailer, when your accelerating the wheel seems to straighten up, but when breaking or cuising the the wheel wobbles and that makes the bang noise,

try throwing some water on the wheel after a drive and if you get a big cloud of steam then you know its about ready to fly off the car, i think you might be close if your hearing that noise anyway.

Be careful of doing this if your brakes are hot, not good for them

Possibly drive shaft?

CV's, Handbrake on and put the drivetrain under load (first gear, slip clutch) listen for clicks

    • 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.
