I think it has something to do with the colder weather ?

The shocks/bushes are cold and thus making creaking noises ?

Perhaps im wrong ?

Yep mine too, only started the past few freezing days. Steerings gone a little bit heavier too, or maybe just my imagination...

Had a slight creak in mine when I took off from stop. Apart from replacing a CV in the front (which I don't think was the cause), the guys tightened up all of my suspension and cross members - creaking noise is gone. Probably just contraction from the cold allowing a little more give than usual in the suspension.

seems strange but i have the exact same issue..

mornings it creaks but after like a 30 - 40 min drive it stops most of the time.

had the brushes replaced and this stopped it for a small amount of time.

but i think it is the shocks that have worn on mine.

replacing them soon anyways

my car squeaks when you change direction mainly... i.e. when you pop her in reverse it makes a little creaking noise and then back to forward gears. my suspension guru in canberra is part genius, and he reckons its just the bushes/mounts doing their thing and theres nothing to worry about.

and on that note, my bilstein/eibach suspension is slowly shaking my car to pieces. my boot rattles horribly (not stereo induced) and half my interior squeaks, rattles and carries on.

not looking forward to the day i actually pull it all to bits and fix it...

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
