hey guys i have an issue when i hit hard acceleration i have a vibration go through the rear but it seems to smoothen out after past a certain rev range.had garage 101 look at it they couldnt see anything noticeable.and said it maybee could be diff...? what do you guys reckon .it drives normal the rest of the time .

Just a guess and this is only because I had this happen.

Something fell down the right side of my boot floor so it was between the bodykit and the car.

Every time I put my foot down it would vibrate.

Ended up being a can of something down there.

We're talking about a car perhaps 20 years old and probably still running the original driveline components, despite who knows how many high rpm clutch dumps.

My money is on the propshaft universal joint and that's a specialist repair job.

Not replaceable due to the peened-in design but still they perform extremely well.

However if you load them up heaps, the worn needles won't be happy and hello vibrations.

Whilst underneath the tailshaft of a different R32 GT-R, push upwards at the joint or bearing, you'll probably notice that it's a lot stiffer than yours.

Yours might even have a slight bow in it - or it's softer. It'd certainly have more movement - hmm, maybe 2".

It would be easier to change the whole shaft than a universal joint (as jiffo alluded to).

I don't know about tailshaft replacements in a R32 GT-R; but in the R33 GT-R, the tailshaft is different between a V-Spec and a Non-V-Spec.

I have the same problem ( well I think). It usually happens between 2.8 k to 3.2k then booom turbos kick-in 10psi and you don,t notice it anymore.

You barely notice it in 1-3 because of how quick the GTR goes from 2.8 to 3.2. so its really more a thing of cruising on the highway in 5th gear.

I thought it was my 20yr old diff. or could this be du to an aftermarket diff making this weird sound?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
