Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

So problem number one............

There is a knocking noise from the rear when I brake or put the car in reverse. The best way I can describe is like backlash from within rear driveline, a bit like a weight being pushed forwards then going backwards. Its not a harsh noise.

I have had this problem ever since I have owned the car.

It does not happen all the the time but I would like to get rid of this pesky issue.

Im thinking the rear diff is the culprit.

Anyone have any thoughts?

How olds the diff, could be getting play in it and you're hearing the slop as it goes from forward to reverse and back again

I don't know about Cusco.

What I do know is that most 1.5 / 2 way jap diff tend to be a bit tough and clunky (friction plates)

With helical there is none of that and therefore is just smoother and runs quieter

Diffs are a bridge i'll have to cross at some point soon-ish i think.

You'll have to re get your exemption won't you?

Also, I have a hard decision to make. GC hinterland or Mt Nebo

Up tambo, down tambo, up Oreilleys... ah f**k this roadworks and the 1 lane road, back down Oreilleys, up tambo, down tambo...

Stopped in at Cedar creek on the way back down too, i think i'll have to bring boardies and a towel next time.

If I had today off I would come with you Pete

I'm not sure my car's good enough to be seen with yours (once you get it finished at least!)

probably one of the most underated mods you could do IMO.

Will do front one too after my bank account recovers.

Zac will be busy.

Well she is kinda finished. I'm even taking it with me to work FTM.

Just need to respray rear bar.

My car would be fine with yours or any other Nissan. Just no commodores

    • Jax Tyres this Monday morning. Front lifted 15mm Back lifted 12mm Quote1, $175 per tyre + wheel alignment. Quote2, $660 inc wheel alignment. paid $298 for the lot.  
    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
