Hi all

I need your help?

Just recently every time i turn my 32gtr 1989 model AWD starts to lock up the diff and is very hard to make it move where i have to over rev engine to get some movement, could anyone help who has had the same problem or has an answer on what i should do?

hi guys ok so i decided to do a bit more investigation on this so i got in the car with a mate and took it for a drive and after giving it a hit a few times to warm up the diff and gear box we went to a empty industrial road and started to turn the car. I steped outside to see if it woul lok up but all i saw was that the when you stop the car and take off and turn it shudders but the rear and front wheels move normal.

I have been advised that because i have a jim berry Full monty that the clutch is a Brass button and when it heats up on the fly it tends to shudder

I am lost now guys not to sure what it could be is there any ideas ?

so you are saying that you have to rev the car harder to get it to move? it could be one of a few issues. it could be a siezed brake (or hand brake), diff issue or clutch/gearbox issue. might be worth starting by jacking the car up and seeing how easy it is to spin each of the wheels. that may also help you isolate whether it's front or rear diffs causing the issue (if there is a diff issue).

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - there is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
