Shuddering Issue - All The Way Through 2nd Gear After A Hard Shift

Hi Fellas...

I've had a crack at the search function but it's a bit too vague I'm having trouble matching others' problem with this one.

First of all, this problem doesnt occur all the time. It seems to be pretty random.

After an aggressive shift into 2nd (and sometimes but rarely, right into 3rd as well) the entire car will shudder all the way through the gear. I'll feel it in my seat, its not a huge shudder but def. noticable. The car doesn't lose power throughout. Put it into the next gear and it goes away.

One thing of note, is I'm aware that one of my fear subframe bushes have ruptured (the Gel filled ones). I have the new part ready to go, but they are not in yet. >Could this cradle movement be a potential cause of the problem?<

Keen to hear if anyone has had a similar issue. Thanks heaps guys.

does it feel like you have haps out of balance wheels?

mine does that. just the atessa cutting in while theres no need to. it shudders the whole car. just happens randomly when driving and go over a bump etc etc.

just lift the throttle and the torque will go back to 0

Check all drivetrain mounting points from the engine mounts back or clutch.

no comparison to a GTR i know but my R31 started doing it when i put my rb25det in.....it turned out to be the centre bearing in the tailshaft.

food for thought.

how much did it cost for you to get this fixed?

I know completly different cars and all, but my old 83 telstar did the same thing. It got worse over time. It turned out to be the torsion springs in the clutch were shagged and the clutch needed to be replaced.

My two cents (might not help, or not be the problem. Just throwing it out there)

its definately not a traction issue? if not you need more power :P dont know if cradle movement will be the problem, but maybe its making a smaller shudder much worse... assisting the problem rather than creating it

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
