Yeah I get this as well, it's annoying when you're in a hurry and when changing gears on the auto (especially to reverse) at high rpms makes the car jerk...

It's not just annoying, it's damaging to your transmission. If it's a cold start, let the engine warm up a little so that the revs drop to around 1000rpm or less. I never engage any gears unless it's completely warmed up - so, well below 1000rpm.

Yeah my engine stays down on cold for about 3-5 mins when it's been sitting outside all night i have a manual so i always drive like a grandma until my engines warm shifting before i need to and minimal acceleration.

It's not as big a deal for a manual since you can ease out the clutch (at the expense of possibly burning it out if the revs are too high). Still, it's much cheaper to replace a clutch than it is to rebuild an auto. It's the autos where we need to worry. Engaging an auto at that rev range is pretty much neutral-bashing it which is never a good thing.

It certainly isn't ideal, but I don't think it is all that brutal to the auto, after all, V35 autos aren't failing prematurely.

The engine is reving but it drops fairly quick when you engage drive. So it isn't like holding half throttle and dropping it into drive and chirping the tyres.

I would wait if you have time, but not be too worried about it if you don't. It is probably worse for the engine and transmission mounts.

Yeah I always warm up my car so that at least the temperature is 3 bars above bottom cold and below 700 rpm. Still get a slight click sound and as suspect it's probably the axis click as its a common problem with our cars as mentioned on g35driver.

Yep i get the clicking from the back on acceleration. Also get a little bit of a clunk as i brake, but i do need my rotors machined pretty bad.

On a cold start 1st thing in the morning mine will fire up to 2000 rpm and then drop straight down to 1500 rpm, in gear it will be idling around 1000rpm, the click you guys are taking about is a common thing with V35s just do a search on it

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
