G'day fellow Skyline enthusiasts,

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who would have the answer to my puzzle…..

I've got an R32 GTR and have recently got a problem with the rear 'right' wheel (if sitting in the car) shuddering when taking off from a stand still position. It only seems to shudder when taking off to the right and not the left and it's only the rear right wheel and not the rear left wheel shuddering....

Could this be the diff, HICAS or the bushes in the rear or could it just be something simple like tightening an arm on that wheel?

Urgently need your expert help with this problem.......?

Regards,

KP

I was reading about someone having a similar problem recently, and it turned out to be the tyre... are the tyres the same both sides, and is the right one in good nick? seated on the rim properly? good luck - not really expert help :)

It sounds like the diff trying to lock up.

Don't ask me why, but these problems seem to have something to do with the connection onto the TPS - try cleaning the terminals there, and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice!...it only seems to do it when turning to the right from a stand still and not left...I had my mate watching the wheel while I drove off slowly and he said that it shakes pretty bad and almost completely locks up and stops the car.

It's fine in a straight line and to the left and the other wheel doesn't do it at all.

Has anyone experienced this problem or an expert on R32 GTR's???.... :P

Yeah im going through that at the mement, front diff needs a rebuild, or in your case - rear!

Have you got OEM suspension?

Check the joints between diff and wheel - thats where my problem became most apparent

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply!...but brand new tyres so hopefully that's not the problem, don't want to buy new ones!....

hang on a tick. has this just started since you fitted your new tyres? if so i dont think it is too hard to see where the problem was caused. are all the tyres the same size/profile?

Yeap, standard suspension.....will put it up on my mates hoist again and have a look at the joints between the diff and the wheel....thanks mate, much appreciated!..

Yeah, all the tyres are the same profile and same tyre as I had them fitted in a professional shop and all are brand new and I've done around 1,000k's on them since new.

I actually had the diff out of it about 4 months ago as it had this really loud wyning noice coming from the back end when the car was in motion. It turned out to be the front bearing in the rear diff....might be something in the diff again on the right side wheel.....

Thanks for your help, fella's!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
