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

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
