hi guys,

ive taken my r32 gtr to the track a few times & have now developed a whine noise in the rear diff - i did a search & it seems that those big launches may have caused this.

this is when i hear the diff whine noise:

- between 60km/h & 100km/h, anything above this speed & the noise is no longer heard

- when the diff is under any type of load i.e. accelerating & decelerating

funny thing is if im cruising at this speed where i hear the diff noise & i very lightly accelerate where the diff is not under load or deceleration (kinda like a balancing point for lack of a better explanation), the diff is completely quiet...

any ideas? i think its diff related & not a wheel bearing

Sounds like the bearings in the diff have let go. For the price of new bearings you might aswell get an aftermarket lsd that comes with new bearings and seals etc.

what diff centre would you recommend?

would redline diff oil help with the noise as i know it helps with syncro's in the gearbox

You have snapped all the tags off the drive plates in the clutch packs...no biggie. Get it rebuilt by Terry at Award Diff and Gearbox at Rydalmere for around $500. He will modify it as well as fit the stronger Nismo clutch pack set...you wont break it then.

I use a Kazz 2-way, got it for $900, but i use it for drifting. Came with new bearings seals etc.

Redline oil helped the syncro's in my gearbox as well. But if it is the bearings in the diff, because the amount of pre-load they have, once there gone there gone.

I would suggest to get an aftermarket lsd, but i would also suggest listening to DiRTgarage as i would say he knows his stuff when it comes to dragging gtr's.

R32 GTR diff's are a 2 way mech item from factory...with the "Terry mods" and the clutch pack would be as good as any aftermarket item. Its all i use...they work!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
