Front diff, front CV joint or semi siezed wheel bearing at a guess. Maybe jack the front of tha car up and check for any freeplay / noises from the front wheels one at a time. This is kinda a hard one to diagnose without seeing it. Where abouts are you located?

Hey guys

S1 series stag, when reversing with full lock the outside wheel makes a grinding noise and seems to bounce

been to a few garages noboby in vic seems to know what they are talking about, any comments would be a great help :blink:

Had the same thing in past.

Would not always happen, but when it did happen, the fear of god was put into my wallet.

Funny thing is that when I upgraded my wheels from 17" to 18", the noise stopped.

odd.

Already had the front drive shaft replaced 'mechanics theory' located in victoria.

:huh: I didn't mention the front drive shaft.

the front drive shaft cant really have anything to do with it - there is an open centre diff and CV joints between there and the wheels.....

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
