Hey guys and gals, just wondering if anyone have head of the rear diff moving forward in an r32 gtst?

im not sure whether thats what the problem is or not as iv just bought the car and had to replace the tailshaft cause the centre bearing rubber had torn.

Iv put the new tailshaft in and bolted up the rear half to the diff but i cant get the centre bearing to bolt up its about 1cm too far forward, im thinking it might just be easier to have the rear half of the shaft shortened and rebalanced but then i have concerns that there is actually something wrong further back and cause more damage later on.

does anyone have any advice as id really like to try get the car on the road soon as i need to sell my other car

sounds like you have the WRONG length tailshaft in there

take it back off and compare it side to side with your other tailshaft

Well that's the thing when I bought the secondhand tailshaft I took the original with me for comparison and they we're both the same length.

My guess is that either the diff has moved forward and torn the first rubber, or when the original owner converted it to manual he just didn't care about the rubber and forced it and I ended up with the same tailshaft size.

The guy I bought the shaft off of was pretty certain it was from an r32 gtst

i think the problem may have been solved as the 32 has abs and i think i may have the non abs shaft

therefore the wrong length tailshaft!

trust me the diff cant move forward that much

only leaves the tailshaft as being the problem

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
