V35 skyline knock

[JDMV35]

Hi, guys i have just acquired a Nissan v35 skyline coupe and i bloody love it.

One thing that has got me startled is that when i start the car it has a knock that only occurs once like a "thud" coming from where the manual gear stick is under the car.

It occurs once the car turns over and only when it is cold any ideas?

(I  hope i didn't buy a lemon)

Ill put up a video in a bit.

P.S i did a search for this and apparently this has occur ed on another skyline in perth but there were no answers for it on that thread the user i think was sleekr33 or something

 

Cheers.

Get the car up on stands and have a look at what could be hitting.

Mine doesn't do that.  I have never heard of this issue before though.

As said, you should start by getting it up on ramps, stands or a hoist and having a look around, it could be an exhaust hanger broken, a transmission mount failed or something similar.

i noticed it only happens when the engine is cold so im guessing it would be more likely exhaust because once the car is warm is goes

What exhaust do you have? Do you have extractors?

It might be an after market part hitting
