Since the last month or so I've had this weird vibration noise coming from behind the dash, somewhere around the glovebox and centre vent area....

It happens when braking due to vibrations until you come to a stop, and also does it now when driving, I've noticed if I'm on a smooth bit of freeway doing more then 90km/h or so it goes away

It sounds like maybe abit of plastic is slightly rubbing against something and the movement of the car is enough to make it vibrate

Any ideas what it could be or how to find the issue?

Very annoying !

GF's earings in the ashtray :whistling:

been in the glove box lately and slammed it shut??

done any work in that area lately - last few months

usb cable from the ECU ?

have to try stick your head under and grab and shake a few things gently and go through elimination

nothing I can say oh yes that happened to me and it's .....

doesn't sound like leaf litter etc..

(ps. I'll go grab some photo's of the GT'R's steering wheel today - still in shop :( )

edit: just a thought - you haven't got any crusty plastic dried out from age fall off. like front dimsiter vent clips

aftermarket radio chasis or screws..

Edited by Sinista32

I emptied my glove box still does it, doesn't sound like leaf litter or anything more of a metal on metal vibration sound

Haven't touched anything in that area either but I might remove my glovebox and see what I can see up there and if I move a bunch of cables and see how it goes

I don't want to remove my dash just to find te problem but if it continues I have no other choice !

Re steering wheel, thanks mate !

Ok I found the problem !!! Well my wife did actualy

It was my electronic highway tag that clips onto the windscreen, the clip on holder was abit loose and it would rattle and vibrate !

Hahaha

Glad I found the problem lol

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
