R32 gtst, standard RB20det box, tailshaft and diff.

it's had a bad vibration issue for a while.

diagnosed to be the tailshaft centre bearing.

This has been replaced and is much better, but I can now tell there is another vibration / groaning noise coming from further back.

I don't think it's wheel bearings as the sound doesn't change when I load up the left or right side..

Sounds does change with speed wether it's in gear or free rolling.

So....

What needs to be done to my 24 year old diff?

Still paints 2 lines in a straight line.. But I did leave a couple of singles up Mount Glorious.

I had this problem with my R32. Is it a manual conversion? Some guys mix and match driveshafts/weld them up themselves. Mine was about 50mm to short and hung out of the back of the gearbox which got interesting at speed, i ended up getting a custom one made up. it would pay to get your driveshaft balance checked.

It could be many things,

- Driveshaft uni joints

- Diff bearings

Has the diff been shimmed?, this can chew out the diff carrier and cause slop in the assembly. get under your car and give the halfshafts a good shake, if there is a bit of slop that could cause it.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
