Hi All,

I have this issue with my car when i go over little bumps. None can quite detect where the noise is coming from. I took it to where i got the car for warranty and pedders and they can't seem to find any issue with brakes or suspension.

Now i found this forum in america below (apologies if i can't attach the link here.)

http://forums.nicoclub.com/rattling-noise-over-bumps-from-rear-of-car-t426204.html

I think that is exactly what my issue is. I did a bit of research and found some clips and images.

I have a few questions?

If i adjust the nut does it affect my disc brake?

On the images i have found, it looks like a parking brake is a shoe type that is different to disc brake? so in other words if i adjust the adjusting nut to tighten it, it wont clamp my disc brake to the rotors?

Are the disc brake and park brake pads different to each other?

I have 2005 V35 and it seems pretty common issue for this model. It so annoying when you have the window down.

thanks hope someone can guide me. i have been driving this car for 2yrs now and the place where i got it from has no clue!

I have heard of this issue on the J31 Maximas, but not on the V35.

Parking brake is a totally separate mechanism to the rear disc brakes.

You only want to adjust the park brake cable to take up the slack when it is released to prevent the noise, you don't want the park brake to be held on slightly when the lever is released

With a noise like that someone has to pick up a screwdriver... Can you drop the disk off yourself and take a picture for us at least? I think you will soon find the issue once it is off. Not sure I would be trusting the park brake atm...

When i tried tightening the park brake cable (under the foot brake pedal) the disc brakes started to have uneven marks on disc rotors when braking. Unfortunately i dont have the tools or expertise to even play around with the removal of the rims.

Would i need powertools to remove and place the rims back on to make it tight?

If you don't have the experience or confidence to remove the wheels, please don't try working on your brakes - take it to a mechanic......

What would you do if the tyre went flat?

I would be putting the pedal adjustment back where it should be, as the drum pads may be dragging constantly now.

Ok so took the car to a reputable mechanic. hoisted it and said took the park brakes apart and said everything looks ok. They spent an hour and half trying to tap the whole car to find it. They said they can hear it but they couldn't find it.

I am wondering now if drive shafts makes rattle noise when it goes over bumps? (i muchly doubt it)

They would be able to find a driveshaft issue surely.

Where are you located? If you are in Melbourne I could get it on the hoist for a minute and check it out for you, just so you know what the issue is...

Scotty thanks for the offer man. But im in Sydney.

I figured it might be those. But the mechanic said its all in tact.

They tapped the car while hoisted but couldnt hear. However they hear when they are driving over bumps.

Pedders checked it already but couldnt here it when its on them suspension shaker. But can hear it when driving over bumps.

I figured if it was drive shaft they would figure it out straight away.

Should i take it for another nth time opinion? Wasting $$$ paying for no result. :wacko::wacko::wacko:

The noise is definitely coming from the inside of the disc rotor. I wonder if i need to adjust the park brake adjuster as well?

Wait.. if the noise only occurs while driving, and you can't hear it when tapping around the area or on a suspension shop 'shaker', how can you know that the noise is 'definitely coming from inside the disc rotor'?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
