hey guys i have a 1990 r32 gtr i have a bit of a issue i dont know what to do or where to go
my front cv boots were on there way out the left one outter boot was stuffed and the right inner was gone to and i only drived it on the weekend. the issues i have was when i had it awd it would make a clicking noise from the left hand side when i would give it shit in first in second not the typical signs like turning (it never made a noise when doing that only when i was trying deliver the power through and go in straight and only if i full locked it while trying to reverse it would make a big clunk noise )

so the plan was to buy complete front drive shaft set from nissan because i was having trouble soucing new boots for it and most cv places wouldnt touch it . so in the mean time i would drive it in rear so not put stress on the front . it would never make a noise or clicking when it was in rear . for a while i left it in the shed for 6 months to do work on it and worried about doing any more damage to it .

long story short i started driving it again but left it in rear and didnt put it in awd due to the cv problem ,recently i put it back in awd and took it for a drive now im getting a center clicking noise its not a plesent noise in any way i thought it might of been my center bearing but that is fine.
what im wanting to know is that has any one had any simular problems and if any one could help me out with any info at all or places to take it to (perth region ) or wat to do:)
the mods list is to long but in a short way to explain everything has been modified on it besides the internals on the motor and gearbox she is running 440hp in awd and 520 in 2wd
drivetrain mods :my front diff is a mz 1.5 way cusco dif with 4.375 front and back dif gears, orc 709d twin plate clutch and running 275/40 tyres on 17x10 rims
dont know if that would help but i thought id put it in there i havent had problems before that when i use to drive every weekend only after i took her off the road for the 6 months and then started to drive it again on the weekends . regular services on it but havent done a diff or gear box service on it for 4000kms doesnt leak any fluids or anything never let me down tilll now

thanks for your time and hope it makes sence and hope i can get help with this issue thanks

Have you checked out your Cusco front diff?

When i needed a front boot for my GTR i went to M&S driveshafts with my old one and they matched it up for me.

http://msdriveshafts.com.au/

I dont remember the part number as it was years ago but they matched my old one that i brought into something that was on the shelf.

Maybe try calling them, they might know off the top of their heads which boot kit it is, there are a few GTR workshops around them so i think they might know from servicing them.

Are your drive shaft bolts tight next to the sump?

On a side note i had a click coming from my LHS once, what at the time i thought was a drive shaft. it turned out to be the aftermarket rims i ran caused the issue, when on stockies the click went away.....

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
