Surely you don't have that much free play to suspect bushes. I have a sound which is just like yours a sequence of ting ting tings. Its my exhaust hitting my tailshaft when going over bumps or fast around turns. I can't see the bushings causing these kinds of noise especially if you don't have other symptoms. Get under there check the bushings out, you should be able to see such damage. Also check the clearances between your exhaust and the body/tailshaft. Also another common cause, depending on your exhaust, it could be the exhaust bumping on the diff housing. My old HKS did this, I glued a chunk of rubber to the exhaust in the exact point of contact. Shaking your exhaust generally wont recreate it, its kind of a trial and error diagnosis.

You could just take your car to a suspension shop get them to inspect the whole subframe and bushes see if they have excess play or are cracked etc.

As per above

- Get underneath and have a good look. Give it all a good shake.

- If you can't identify then take it into a shop and get them to check it out for you - Get a diagnosis and cost to fix.

- Ask them to show you so you know your not being ripped a new one. (some shops will !)

- Decide to pay or DIY.

Pedders lol. They're dodgy as f**k. You walk in there, you will almost ALWAYS walk out with a bill. They quoted me $1300 for some shit on my old car and the exact same number on my current car which has been fine for 2 years since they've checked it. Funny enough all the stuff they pick on is pretty cheap parts wise but always labour intensive, so you know they're making the most money out of you. Its not like paying 1k for suspension set plus install where they make a hundred out of you, this is about 300 in parts and 1k in labour.

      r34's love to squeal

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 路 Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
