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

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
