SkyWagon started making a nasty sound from the DriveTrain today driving over to Mum n Dad's. :(

Seemed to get worse on the way home.

Not sure if it's Gearbox, Tailshaft etc but it's from something Rotating and increases with speed.

Sounds like this. --->> https://soundcloud.com/not-a-pulsar/r31-rear-noise

Welded and primed most of the holes in my firewall up yesterday, hopefully get time to paint it this week. Also removed dash, heater/ac box and most of the main loom ready to start cutting some wires :)

I think SkyWagon's Tailshaft CV joint is totally shagged.

Looking at buying a one piece. (8000kms old)

Eliminates 2 potential problems. (CV and center bearing.)

I'd say the the CV needs repacking (grease), they are serviceable and never get done. worth doing all 3(?) while the tailshaft is out - it's perhaps a 1/2hr job.

Haha yeah mate have fired up the BBQ and it's a ripper. 10/10 best purchase I've made this year. :yes:

Thanks, I hope everything goes smoothly with the stag from here on out.. driving the lexus to work this morning was horrible... FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS!

Sprayed primer filler.

I think i have the flu, somehow managed to not fill the respirator with snot and keep breathing.

Dizzy wobbly spraying, so i did 3 coats to cover the misses.

Couldnt get the spray gun working properly, untill i realized i was being lazy and not fully pulling the trigger.

So flu also makes the brain stupid, hope i didnt miss anything, or leave a handprint or something.

:yucky: sore throat snot machine

LOL oh how things change... :)

GL getting your rego sorted!

Looks like the rubber boot is split to the splithouse. Replaceable?

Do CV joints go Ting Ting Ting like Uni joints when they crap out / are dry?

A single piece may cause you grief in the way of vibrations - just a thought.

Potentially but balancing may help? Seems to be a common upgrade. The one I'm looking at was built 8000kms ago.

My old mechanic put a one piece (180B) tailshaft in my 1985 Bluebird years ago... No Problems.

That's a recentish John Cusack movie isn't it? :laugh:

Nice work Chris

Will give that a try maybe next in line and if not then just give it to a exhaust shop to do it.

Today i tidy the engine bay a little and got rego :banana:

Exhaust shops just call capital thread repair.

I have done 6 myself. If your good with tools and have patience give it a crack. I use socket Allen keys instead of easyouts.

one of the CV's on my XC90 did make that noise (it was the centre one). you don't actually touch the rubber boot, so it may still hold.

Hmmm nice how does that work with the Allen keys.

Drill into stud 2/3rds deep slightly smaller than whatever size Allen key socket you want to use.

Tap Allen key into stud and undo with ratchet. I find it useful when up against firewalls

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
