Ok I have a minor problem. I have a pulsing vibration. Similar to when a uni goes. It can be seen throught the shifter in 3rd and felt through the car in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Has anyone come across this or similar problems before. I heading to get the wheels balanced and wheel alignment checked tomorrow. Car has Only 56 000km's on it.

Ok wheel alignment was done today. But has made no difference. The vibration is still there. The revs stay the same while driving . Revs do fluctuate at idle though. I'm thinking it's between the g/box and the diff. As it can be felt through the seat while driving and seen through the shifter but only when in 3rd.

What a decent workshop in Bris that know there shit when it comes to Gtr's

Yeah shifter moves back and forth slightly not sure on clicking sound at all

If you go slowly in 2nd or 3rd and then accelerate and then decelerate and then repeat the cycle, is there any clicking sound, or sudden movement in the shifter?

If there's vibrations going on whilst at constant speeds whilst cruising, I suspect tailshaft

If there's clicking at low speeds on accel/decel cycles I suspect diff oil needs changing

If there's a lot of movement in the gear lever with vibrations, I'm wondering about bushes/springs too

You've got a good Brissy mechanic?

Yeah not sure i've only had the car a week. Does anyone know of any decent mechanics?

U can notice the shifter vibrate in 3rd the most. Do the tailshafts fail? Would it be the centre bearing?

You running stock rims, or rims with the same rolling diameter & width at all corners?? I heard that different profile tyres & different width rims could cause problems with the awd system on earlier gtr's. Just a quick check. After that, +1 for the possible tailshaft culprate.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
