Picked Up The R34

Hey all

Tonight I picked up the R34 I was fairly interested in. Moving from a GTIR its quite a change, the car feels alot bigger but then again its very stable and feels safe. The R34 feels alot more 'smoother' as well. :)

Only problem with the car is that when accelerating when the car is under load (high gear and low speed, or low speed and not in correct gear) we can hear this loud whirring/rattling noise in the back. Its much more noticable in the back seat and I at first thought it was the diff. But then after abit more driving and with the windows down it sounds like metal banging so I'm hoping its the stock exhaust being too close to the chassis or something.

Could the problem above be the diff? Are the GTT's known to having diff problems? I didn't think so, and specially not at this at the amount of kms this car has done.

Anyway the specs are:

1998 Model

32,000kms

Manaul

Xenon headlights

Factory bodykit

And everything else absolutely stock apart from:

Zeal (I think) Coilovers

18' Volk Racing SE37 Rims

Let me know what you think guys. Looking forward to enjoying these forums.

Thanks,

Andy

EDIT: Updated with new pictures.

Nice one man.

Could be the exhaust fallen out of one of it's mounting rubbers. It happens and is easy to fix.

Could be a mechanical diff I suppose although you would hear it clanking while turning sharp corners and slow speeds (like car parking) if that was it.

Hey guys, thanks. Yeah I just picked it up tonight so there wasn't any sunlight for pictures. I'll post up new pictures tomorrow. :)

Thanks Abo Bob, I think I'll post up a thread in the maintenence section to be more specific.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
