Hey all, hope we all having a merry christmas ^^,

Ive noticed recently when im moving in this grid-locked christmas traffic my car acts weirdly.

I bring the revs up to 900-1000 and let go of clutch until the car starts to move, as the car starts to move, i get this weird wobble. Its not like a shudder when you're about to stall, feels more of like a wobble..

During this wobble the revs are constant (900~) if i increase the revs the wobbling is still there until i let more off the clutch.

I have no idea what this is and is annoying when im crawling through traffic...

I'm pretty sure my r32 still has the original clutch, if this may be the source of the problem..

Does anyone have any info regarding this?

Edit:

Also not knowing if it relates, but when im idling at rest, i can feel through the seat a low rumble sort of brrrrr and then stops for a second or two, and then rumbles again.

Before it used to shake the whole car and make pop noise but this was fixed by cleaning the AAC valve. Although the low rumble/vibration felt through the seat is still there...

During the low rumble/vibrations the, rpm's do not drop or raise on the dash. They stay constant at 750rpm

Im thinking its injectors but not too sure...

Thanks

Patrick

when you experience the "wobble" that you're getting does it feel like a forward/backward motion or a side to side motion? One of my mates has a magna with a loose engine mount and when he sits in drive at the lights it shudders to all hell but that's cause it's really loose.

Could be a loose gearbox or engine mount etc. but then again could be something else. Either way sounds like you'll end up at the mechanic soon enough with it on a hoist cause it'll keep doing it and you'll get sick of it soon enough.

good luck finding out what's wrong :santa:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
