Ive noticed lately when I take off in first with a not so perfect take off and the car shudders abit ( has an OS giken twin plate, solid centre) I get this unusual knocking/tick sound from the front, seems like drivers side, but been a passenger once I felt it on the passenger side too

Once the car gets rolling it will do it 1 second later, then another second later the same noise again. Always two knocks if I don't take off right and the car shudders ?

With a perfect take off, it does not make any noise.

Does not make any noise going over bumps, speed humps, pot holes etc.

I've also noticed when turning fast it knocks once as I can feel it on the floor, but this doesn't always happen only noticed it afew times

I've checked my front upper arms, has some sort of urethane (I think) red bushes for adjustable camber, those screws were loose so I greased the nipple and tightened the bolts up.

Checked sway bar links they r fine, coilovers are tight

But what I just saw was the gearbox cross member has one screw that won't tighten, so it's realy only held by 3 bolts

Is there anything else to check as I realy want to fix this, it's nothing major but I want everything to be 100%

Thanks

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
