Hey guys

I have had an issue with a small knock at the front of my car. I have tein coil overs that are fine.

I also just replaced the sway bar links as they seemed to be the problem.

But it seems as if it's still there.

One thing I just noticed while sitting in the garage till 12 at night trying to get my head around this. Is that the from axles for the 4wd system seem to have a bit of play in them back and forth as I move them towards the motor.. Bit of a mood question but is that normal???

A common place for a knocking noise is the top mount of the shock. Did you reuse the factory mount or did the shocks come with new top mounts (either bush or pillowball/rose joint). Also is the shock top nut tight?

Just jacked car up at work the lower control arms seem fine. No movement or leaks. The strut brace nut was a lol loose and it had movement in it. Went for a drive and seems ok but will know for sure tonight. But I hit another f**ken pot hole this morning and now the front left has a knock when I turn :( can't winpost-107907-13945993395038_thumb.jpg

you can overtighten them like any nuts but they are much more likely to be under tight :) If you aren't confident in how tight they should be either get a mechanic to do a quick check (should be free) or use a torque wrench to make sure you don't go too far.

Hopefully whatever the new knock is can be found....but maybe stay out of potholes? :P

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
