The issue might be the angle or exact positioning of the bracket that mounts to the rear of the gearbox. My CES pipe has a different but relevant issue that comes from how it lines up with that mounting point. Basically being slightly off there gets carried down the line.

I suspect you will be able to make up an adapter out of a small piece of aluminium that will work to bring the whole thing own a little. There is a little flex in the whole thing so dont worry if you have to pull it down to get it to mount differently. For example, there are two holes so instead of lining up both you could line up the bottom gearbox mount hole with the top exhaust bracket hole and try that for starters.

thanks abo...... i fixed it today, it was hitting on the bracket bolted to the floor pan to stop the tailshaft hitting the ground in the event of failure, so i took the bracket off and elongated the holes and bolted it back up so it sits slightly higher now..... no noises at all anymore yay!!!

30 mins i find that hard to beleive....... anyways i got under the car this arvo and its not hitting up the front it is further down near the tailshaft centre bearing, its hitting the bracket that sits on top of the exhaust and under the tailshaft centre bearing. maybe pics would explain better. Any ideas on a fix????

No joke Ben :D Grey Imports fitted it up for me.

You do need to be weary when fitting any front pipe that when you are removing sections of the exhaust its possible to shift the rest of the system in the process which can result in the problems you have had.

As others pointed out its usually a case of trial and error and hanger/mount adjustment where applicable to get it spot on :D

hey blitz just out of curiosity what differences did u notice after having yours fitted???

Well, I had a hole in my original factory front pipe which sounded terrible, but once we fitted the new JJR pipe up the car generally sounds a whole lot smoother, with a nicer exhaust note and it seems to drive nicer also.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
