Urgent Help With R32 Gtr!....

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?

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!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
