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!

Get it up on a hoist get someone in car and let it run in 1st gear then get ya buddy to let clutch in and out and listen/feel the x-members, arms, etc get ya sexy little fingers on everything you will find it that way, OR as GTRPSI said could be easy uni, c'v bung exhaust rubber!!!

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
