Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. I hear a rattle when I go over little bumps on the road. Specially when driving around the city. The car is under warranty and the guys could not find anything. I suggested sway bar links and brakes and still i can hear them. Any other suggestions I could suggest when they next look at my car?

Try the steering rack ends. If worn, they will knock over bumps.

What is with the "guys could not find anything"? You took them for a drive to show them the noise right?

If not, you need to. It doesn't sound like it's very hard to "find"; just drive the car...

If there is a knock, they need to fix it, they don't knock from the factory. Sounds like they might be giving you the run around, so you fix it yourself.

These guys are qualified mechanics right? You shouldn't need to make the suggestions; they get paid by their employer to do that.

Best of luck.

Its more of a rattle than a knock. just sounds like two lose plates that hit each other every bump. its coming from the rear drivers rather than where the steering is.

They have checked the brakes and links on the sway bars then they said its the handbrake link. After getting the handbrake link replace it was still rattle and is definitely coming from the rear drivers. The car is warranted for 5yrs and just purchased the car this year. I am hoping they'd fix this without using my warranty because it was in the caryard's 3month warranty. Its a reputable caryard so I wont mention any names. However they dont specialise in Nissans lol.

Otherwise drives great!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
