In the light of recent posts re noisy things on 4bies and things going 'clunk'............or 'klonk'
When I bought the GQ 2nd hand with 265,000K on the clock the gearbox made a vibrating noise. Eventually I found that the flywheel had been singed severely by someone unknown(previous owner denies any wrongdoing). Replaced fly wheel and clutch. All quiet with clutch for a while but gearbox rattles like a box full of steel beercans on startup. Eventually the noise subsides when it all warms up. Now, after another 80,000K same clutch noises back again. Maybe its a Nissan thing...............
Theres a rattle under the dash....a Nissan thing. Live with it.
Then earlier in the year a noise emanating from front of truck when reversing...hmmmm....found out today need new engine mounts. That solves the 'RRrrrrrrr.....' Maybe not a Nissan thing but just a driver who expects the truck to go anywhere without breaking
Every now and then a belt squeals up front. All belts tight, all pulleys running sweetly....must be a Nissan thing............
Buy a set of MRF crossplies. On bitumen it sounds like the noise outside a 747 window when the air harmonics come in to play....must be a MRF thing....
Build new storage compartments in rear of truck. Squeak, squeak, squeak......Ahhhhrrrr!!!......must be a Willem thing....
LOL

"Theres a rattle under the dash....a Nissan thing. Live with it."
It's not just a Nissan thing believe me!
I hate rattles in the 4WD. It is the most single thing that annoys me whilst driving along - anyone who has been my passenger will tell you that. Eliminating every noise that comes from the back of the ute and from within the cab is an unachievable goal, yet I still try.
Funny thing is - when all my keys clang and bang against the steering column, it doesn't bother me at all.

Haha, I could have written that, just about word for word!!
Just substitute Troopy for ute:-)
I've had my video camera mounted on the dash a few times, filming the odd off road session....when the tape is played back, the bloody racket from those keys just about drowns out everything else.
Cheers

Hi Willem,
About your belts squeals, a mate of
mine had a squeal from his patrol turned out to be the tension pulley bearing had a bit of crap in it, would not make the noise all the time. He replace it and no more trouble. In the end he had to replace it 3 time before the pullet was ok but the motor went BANG. Yes it was a 3ltr hand grenade.
hope this helps
David

Belt squeal, its a Toyota thing, you left your Nissan too close to a Toyota at Warraweena and it caught something.
Willem thing? hahahahahaha, could be a Bonz thing that one.

Concentrate on your clutch problems please as you know full
well that you can only capable of focusing on one thing at a time, and then still manage to stuff it up and damage either yourself or whatever it is that you are concentrating on.

Yeah Bonz, sounds like all 4by owners' 'donks' are powered by 'horses' with en-jine flu, maybe they are susceptible after debilitating laps around the country side.
OzeSheila.
Happy tracks.

Go for a drive in an old Series Land Rover. After that all your "new-fangled" 4WDs will seem as smooth and quiet as new Rolls Royce!

Willem,
I have a squeak in the back of the 60, is that a willem thing or a toyota thing?
Or have I had it long enough for it to be a nick thing?
Like the one about having the stereo louder, solves most squeaks......
hahaha

Speaking of noises, My GU, the heater/ Air con fan on low and medium speed rattles badly, probably the cheap bearing on the rotor allowing it to
jump up and down. And on corrugations, the passenger airbag jumps up and down on the inside of the dask cover, drives me bonkas!!! Oh and a bit of tin plate somewhere underneath rattles if you labour the motor at low speed, its a little protection plate somewhere!! Gee, better not say too much, may want to sell on this site one day!! LOL!!

My old FJ45 sqeeked rattled and moaned at any speed on any road and I loved it.
My 60 series cruiser had one little eek eek eek at highway speeds, somewhere in the back. It drove me insane!
My GU has developed a ding ding ding when off road, kinda like tapping an air
tank with a spanner. I found out the other day it's the protective sleeve on the steering damper. At least I know what it is now!
