tomedwards Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Hi, I seemed to have developed a knocking noise coming from the front of the car. I sounds like something catching as it is a repetitive drumming that gets quicker when I speed up. Ive had a look underneath and nothing looks obvious, I can kind of feel it under the car near my clutch foot when driving, although it could be coming from anywhere towards the front of the car. Does anyone know what it might be? Is there anything that is common that I should try to rule out? Thanks Quote
M350ZB Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 When you say knock, and it speeding up, i would not say this to common. The Z engine does give off a little knock now and then, but without hearing it i really cant say, have you taken it anywhere ? Quote
tomedwards Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 no, I haven't taken it anywhere yet. I guess I should take it to a garage and ask them. It doesnt seem to effect the car in anyway, no warning light or strange levels. Thanks Quote
M350ZB Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 The Z including mine does give a little knock now and then from the engine, but never gets louder/faster when driving, and as said is every now and then. Is it under warrenty at all ? Quote
Chris`I Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Where abouts are you based mate? I havent heard of this before, but sure we can get someone to sort it or put you in the right direction Quote
tomedwards Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 not under warranty im afraid, im based in Brighton. I have just had a replacement nismo front bumper fitted, perhaps that is vibrating or catching on something. Thanks for your help Quote

Thanks for your help where did you get the work done, might be worth taking back and making sure its all secured e.t.c Quote
tomedwards Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 yep I think I will take it to the same place, it was Crawley Down Nissan. It all feels quite secure. That said, before my new bumper the plate that protects the underside of the engine bay was very loose, this is now secure again - maybe this is rubbing against something. Cheers Quote

marzman Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Is it a constant noise - i.e. related to wheel rotation? As if it is then its not related to any loose body parts... Quote
tomedwards Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 it is constant, sounds like it is related to rotation of some kind, probably the wheels. I dont have any damage to the wheels or anything. It definitely speeds up as I do. Quote
M350ZB Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 this is un-usual, i would defo get it looked at bud Quote
