Noise On Acceleration (On Gear) - Feels Like Around The Exhaust Or Cat?

Hi All,

I hear this noise much like some rattle in cylinder on acceleration - or like a pinging noise coming from under the car around (say mid) where the CAT and exhaust I think joins.

have you heard this on your car? its more on medium acceleration rather than hard acceleration.

it doesn't have on gear change only when, you suddenly see a gap and put your foot down to catch up.

like I said like a pinging noise but not quite if it makes sense.

I have a feeling it could be my CATALYCTIC since ive done around 66k kms.

I have a 2005 V35 coupe. its due for service so I will mention it to them but it would be great if someone can give me pointers.

sorry don't really know much about what is under the car as I normally rely on the service to find these things.

What are you thoughts?

have only used BP98 or shell 98 or Caltex 98 (try to avoid this as somehow my fuel consumption on Caltex aint very good).

Its 5speed automatic ? can it ping on an auto? sounds like its pinging but doesn't feel like it is.

I have a catback exhaust so I doubt its from there well doesn't feel like its there.

I sorta also sound like rattling in a cylinder some loose particles of some sore.

Sounds like you don't actually know what pinging is.

The type if trans makes no difference and there is no feeling associated with it.

Just the exact rattle type noise you have described, under the conditions you described.

Did it just start happening since last tank fill?

A mate accidently filled up with 91 octane and his car pinged. When you are sleepu you can do silly things.

ever since I bought my car 3yrs ago when it had 35k kms I have always used 98. That sound has always been there. not gotten worse or better.

I just didn't bother with it. I figured i'll mention it this time on my next warranty service.

I was hoping its not like the transmission or anything like that.

Sounds to me like the innards of one of your cat converters has come loose - makes a noise like this at certain revs, and not at others. Get the workshop that does your next service to pull them off and shake them around to see if they rattle. It also could be one of your many heat shields come slightly loose and rattles at certain revs.

+1 for heat shields coming loose. They are spot welded together and combination of rust and vibration can break them. Just get it up in the air, and find out where it's coming from.

oh btw I hear it more when the exhaust system is cold too. like first thing in the morning when I take off mid-acceleration... felt like some little stones (low pitch) moving around a cylinder....

I have a similar noise in my Stagea, I'm pretty sure it's just a loose heat shield or possibly the outer wall of the exhaust corroding away and rattling against the inner lining. Not sure if the V35s have a twin-wall exhaust too though. Mine is only noticeable under light-moderate acceleration and always around 2000-2500rpm, suggesting it's a harmonic frequency causing a vibration.

I haven't had much time to check everything thoroughly, I pulled away some of the outer wall but it didn't go away. OHNOES!! NEW EXZORTS TIME!! :P

ok just did my service. I barely couldn't here it. I am assuming its the oil that they used? they went from halvoline to valvoline 10/30. so im guessing the car was pinging.

My question now is every couple of thousand kms' i see my oil goes to 3/4 full. Do i need to top this up? i did in the past on what is the recommended grade oil and i used shell. Do you think since i topped it up its causing the pinging on the car?

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
