Hey guys

Since some weeks I got this metallic sound from the rear of my car. At first it only appeared on the left, meanwhile on both sides.

It appears when I start moving the car, forward and reverse. Also when changing into 2nd and start accelerating.

It does NOT appear in every gear or always at the same "time". It sounds like 2 screwdrivers hit against each other.

Also you can not "make" that sound with "shaking" the car for example, so theres nothing haning around, nothing lose or not in place

and so on. A friend of mine is mechanic but we could only check without a lft but he couldnt find anything. Not the wheels, nor the suspension, not the exhaust, not the shieldings bla bla bla

I srsly got no clue what to do, and since a week, this guy has the same problem. Actually it´s not a real problem, at least so far. But everytime I stop and keep moving again, there´s that annoying sound and ofc that´s not how the car should be so I rly wanna fix that.

Sry for bad english, and sry for not being able to explain it better ^^

Here are two short vids, in which you can hear that sound. Sry for bad quality, cellphone sucks :) When you hear it, you´ll straight know what I am talking about.

Thanks a lot

I jacked the car up and tried to shake and turn the wheels in every possible direction. Should I hear it then too? Cause there was nothing. But I´ll have a look again.

if there play in the wheel when u tried? u might not hear it unless the wheel is under load being driven

Nah I´d say nothing. I turned and shook em in every possible way. Like said before, if you would hear it while checking, you´d also hear it while the whole is getting kinda rumbled by driving over a curb for example, I guess. But that doesn´t happen

Somebody meant while driving by might be something to do with the "struts" ( if I got the correct Translation ). I can´t see how this could be oO If, it would be more centre of the car, not obviously down and rear, correct?

A stainless exhaust can make a similar noise when tapped, on take off the exhaust will tend to move/vibrate more

also if there was some loose fragments of broken cat converter, they could be tapping inside the pipes.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
