Strange Sound From Front Wheel Arch

Hi all

I'm getting this strange noise that sorta sounds like a plastic peg hitting concrete. Sounds like it is coming from the driver's side wheel arch.

It's not a constant sound like a pebble in the tire but tends to happen at low speeds and when the car is accelerating or decelerating.

I actually hit something on the road a few months back, what ever it was grabbed onto the flange that connects the Y-Pipe and the rest of the exhaust. It pulled it back at least an inch which completely destroyed the vibration absorbers. Long story short I have a new exhaust from the Y-pipe (the guy saved that and just fitted new absorbers).

So now I'm thinking I also f**ked something in the suspension, anyone heard this sound before?

sounds like the classic V35/350z axel click.. there is a TSB for it.. i will see if I can find it.. it involves removing the rear axel, cleaning up and greasing the spline and re-assembling.

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
