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).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
