Looking for input on potential trouble..

Ok I'm finding that I'm getting some shuddering when planting the power down. I dont know how to really explain it but say for instance I'm turning left or right and put the foot down (not to whel spin) I get a shuddering coming fro the rear, hard to pin point but either left side or from diff. When I stop and then start slowly I get small clunk as well. This is a recent occurence. My thoughts are either the diff is screwing up or driftshaft cv's are on the way out.

When starting from standing position and put the foot down there is shuddering as well. Had a look under the car and cant see any oil leaks and everything visibly looks ok (mind you quick look only as only 3c outside today). I've got carbon tailshaft due to go in this week(probably next) so was get them to have a gander at everything but thought I"d post up here and see what peoples opinions are..

cheers

No clunk...if I take off really slowly I hear the slightest clunk noise but its cornering slowly and then putting the power down is when I get the shuddering.

Its at workshop being checked today so will see what they have to say tomorrow.

Sorry bit slow with feed back...

Well my tuner plus guys at HKS have both had a look and either cant hear or feel the noise and cant pinpoint it to anything.

I changed my wheels the other 2 days ago tp put my snow wheels/tyres on for winter and had a good suss. The only thing I could find is the right rear has slight play when rotated hub back and forth so maybe there is slack in the pre-load.

As far as oil in the diff not 100% but Nismo changed it when I bought the car 1 year ago so reckon they put the good stuff in. They did full check on the car before I bought it.

I know the guys at HKS here pretty well and they are building me motor and doing heap of work so we're going on the basis if it blows we'll replace it. The motor will be built and tuned for around an easy 600ps and could easily pushed for alot more. The drive train hopefully will be built to be bullet proof.

I"ll be posting up the build elsewhere as well as impending divorce when the misso sees how much it will all cost!!

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
