Hi all, recently just bought my first japanese car being a 1998 R34 GT-T with a manual transmission. Over the last few weeks i've noticed a slight clunk sound when I change gears. At first I thought it could have been from my driving and clutch release but after being extremely careful through my gear changes the clunking sound has continued....I noticed the sound to be loudest from first to second gear change and quiter from second to third. Any ideas what it could be or has the gearbox just had its time and in need of a change??

thanks :rolleyes:

Defiantly a clunk. Im sure to have the clutch completely in when changing gears. It sounds like a thud coming from underneath the back seats area. I haven't been releasing the clutch too early either. any ideas???

Sounds like the tailshaft centre bearing could be loose or worn out. Fairly unusual to be worn out on a Skyline that age so check to make sure it's not loose. Pretty much the middle of the car there is a joint there. Grab the tailshaft and push up and down. You should get some movement in the rubber but you shouldn't be able to bash it around like a parson's prick in a sugar bag.

It could also be the diff mounts or excessive backlash in the diff itself. Get it checked by a professional if you aren't sure. Most should at least check it free of charge

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
