R32 GTST with stock box and diff from what I can tell.

once I get to 40km/h, there is a vibration that starts that can be felt through the whole car.

it gets a little louder by 50km/h, kind of dissapears by 60-70 but is there as a loud hum..

By 100 and above, it is just a loud hum (similar to wheel bearing noise but doesn't change when you load up the left or right with bends in the road etc.)

It does it in gear and out of gear so I've ruled out anything frmo the gearbox forward.

How can I identify wether it is the shaft or diff or whatever else is between the back of the gearbox and the diff?

do you have a one piece tailshaft at all?

my brothers r33 has a one piece tailshaft and it vibrates like that, at highway speed you can actually feel the rearview mirror vibrating,

Also I would be getting this balanced again mine never did this if it runs true it shouldn't vibrate at all

it was another great job done by a shit workshop, :whistling:

would it cost much to balance? does it need removed from car or how do they do it?

I don't know how many pieces the tail shaft is..

whatever the stock R32 GTST one is I suppose.

So more than likely not diff then?

Anyone want to point me in the direction of a Brisbane tailshaft related workshop? lol

ummm not the one that did SilverS2's brothers original job obviously.

Balancing shouldn cost that much .

And yes it does need to be taken of the car to do so

They put it on a lathe and spin at x amount of Revs

And will spot weld weight where it needs it to balance it

Providing it has been built correctly and all the unis are on correctly

Take it to driveline specialist at springwood there may even be one at archer field ?

Any one that specialises in drivelines etc should be able to do a decent job

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
