R32 Gtr - Transmission Problems

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight into what may be the problem with my r32 gtr.

I was driving it over the weekend and it started making a loud knocking sound which sounded like it was coming from around the middle of the car. The sound appeared after driving the car normally (wasn't booting it) and it would increase in frequency the quicker I was driving. After pulling over the sound would stop and it wouldnt make any noise from just revving the car.. Only when I was rolling or moving...

So after this I started to head home about 5 mins later the sound disappeared.. After driving the car since this happened I havent heard the sound again.. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be? I was thinking uni joints but I am probly way off..

Cheers,

Mitch.

Yea, sound was happening whether clutch was pushed in or out.

Just seems weird, I have been driving car for days now since sound occured (happened on Saturday) and it hasnt re occured at all, I am just a little worried as it was a very loud noise so obviously something is wrong, just dont know where to look.

So it was only making the noise while the car was moving??

Didnt matter if the clutch was in or out??

The noise changed as the speed got greater or less??

The noise stopped when you stopped moving??

Sounds like you may have picked up some crap in your tyres or possibly got something caught in the driveshaft that has since parted company with your vehicle if the noise is no longer present.

this is a great trick in the workshops... Wack a rubber band around the tailshaft with a nut on it. As the speed increases the nut flies further from the tailshaft tilll it eventually start "tapping" against stuff. When ya stop and look under the rubber band has contracted and you cant see it on the tailshaft. :P

Yea it was only making the noise whilst moving, didnt matter if clutch was in or out, and the noise sped up as I was moving faster (noise was probly louder when driving slow), noise was there whether in gear or in neutral and rolling and yes noise completely stopped whilst I was not moving.

I once had had a screwed diff / uni's in my old car and the noise was much like that, although it didnt sound like this noise was coming from as far back as the diff...

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
