My R32 GTS-T is making a clicking noise at the rear end when driving at low speeds (taking off, 2nd/3rd). Can be heard when I start backing the car out at the start and also when I put it in gear to drive back in.

Any feedback/suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex

I had a look under there today and everything looked quite solid. I'll have a proper go soon. Could it possibly be my diff or HICAS system? I still haven't put in a lock bar or changed my diff oil since I got the car about 5 months ago. Who knows when it was changed before then lol.

Thanks!

CV's if everything else looks fine. Can also be the Nut that holds the shaft into the hub is a little bit loose. They run a castleated nut and split pin. If you can isolate if it is one wheel or both then you can tighten the noisey one up by one hole. Unless it seems way to tight already

I took the car to a mechanic today and he tightened 6 cv bolt nuts up however the noise is still there. He also told me there is diff backlash. Still not sure what it is. The car has a heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks everyone for the input

The centre hub nut is all tight. Had a fiddle with a few things under the car and then went for a test. As soon as I started backing out in reverse.'click,'... Anyone in Brisbane area want to come take a look? lol :(

You mean the nut behind the centre cap that has the pin it it? What should it line up with? I'm still figuring out how to upload pics on this thread lol. The noise is most predominant when I'm at the end of letting the clutch out. If I let it out with no revs then it does it most loudly. :(

Yeah thats what I mean. Has a torque spec. Then you put the pin through. If the pin wont tighten go a bit tighter

If it were me id get a second person to have a listen to see if they can pinpoint the noise.

Was the nut loose? If no look somewhere else mate. Something has worn out.

Take it to a garage and ask for an opinion. They shouldn't charge if they think they might get a job out of it.

I think it's either UJs, CV or diff back lash. It could be anything really. I had a Subaru at work that was making a clunk noise on rough ground. Believe it or not it was the brake pads were loose in the caliper and were jumping up and down.

The point I'm trying to make is it could really be anything and unless you have dicked with something tighting all of the bolts in the world isn't going to solve your issue. And if it is a loose bolt thank you lucky stars your drive shaft hasn't dropped Out...

Hey guys,

Don't worry I had it at a workshop and they checked everything visible in the undercarriage of the car so I haven't just been loosening random bolts off. I'll be taking it to tuner soon to get another opinion. Cheers fellas.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
