DC5 Technical Problems/Issues

[Vagabond]

Found the culprit that been causing the rattling sound...according to the mech.. there is shaft going out where the throttle cable is .. the cable is rattling.. he put some greese and no more sound..

which shaft is that?

which shaft is that?

Quite frankly I didn;t see it.. it must be the one leading out to the firewall.. What ever the mech did it has dampen the sound a bit.. can still hear it but not as loud as before..

hey just wanna check....do any pre-facelift guys experience this problem when shifting gears.

sometimes (not all the time), when you punch the clutch and shift from 2nd to 3rd (happens from 1st to 2nd sometimes), the gear knob sort of "POPS" out instead of transitioning smoothly?

its weird that the type R gearbox is so sensitive and theres crunching as well.

my dc5 last time does sometimes give out that weird 'pop' and crunch(which is normal among other dc5's i guess) but never ever had any problems regarding with the gearbox..i thought i was the only one having this kind of stuff:hmmmm:..however, it only happens to me during high revving and quick-shifting..other than that, gear transitions are smooth..

it happened to me sometimess during revving high rpm from fourth to fifth gear. Anyways, others are good..i thinks its normal.

I experienced the same thing. When i first test drove my car, I thought the gearbox/synchros had issues. Test drove a few other DC5s, then I realised its pretty 'standard'.

So, I think its normal.

dont want it ending up costing me a bomb coz i ignored it and fucked my synchros

From the traffic light junction turning into the area, it is on your FIRST left turn (along the road where NSS is).

You wont miss it.

guys, any recommended workshop in bandar sunway to fix/replace my front bumper dc5r facelift? thanks :)

what actually are you fixing? not sure about sunway area. but i repaired by cracked front bumper at a place in pandan indah. they can do customized body kit too and the workmanship is good. a friend did his gtt r34 to gtr bodykit with some fancy paintjob and it turned out nice. his from subang area and told me the price is at least 30% cheaper from what sunway offered. cheers...

you can probably go to any other bodyshop and get it done. just go to your usual reliable one. it'll be cheaper than sunway FOR SURE.

Thanks for the feedback bro, actually right side on my front bumper was torn around 3 inch after I hit small divider, I've been searching few area at sunway and subang workshop to fix back. Most of them said even they fix it, it won't long last. So now I decided to look for 2nd hand bumper that won't cost me $$$ getting an aftermarket one. :)

Ahhh... Mine wa bigger, more than 6in. The koyak on my bumper la.. I had it fixed for 100 bucks only. But paintjob another 200 coz had to do the whole bumper. If u want to check out the pandan indah place, call ah lee at 0166665544. Sure cheaper than getting the whole piece replaced... Cheers...

Was wondering if the senior members in this forum can help me out with some issues here.

I'm currently driving a pre fl dc5 type is non type r model with k20a3 engine.

Whenever I drive through a pot hole or over a hump I can hear a pop sound coming from the passenger side. If I drive pass a road with lots of gravel or stones I can hear as if my front suspension is about to come off....

Mechanic says need to replace the steering rack...is that true?

And my Aircon also going haywire...when I turn on the aircon to speed 1 sometimes it will not turn the aircon on and sometimes if on, it will suddenly blow out high speed air randomly....

Can bros here advise


Thanks
