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.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
