Vibration when power Send to the Front

I don't think that's your issue.  If the problem is with a worn steering rack, you will get vibration or clunking noise from turning, and regardless whether torque is sent to the front or not as you described.  If you didn't have someone else grabbing the steering wheel as you shook the tie rod like in the video, there would always be a bit of play.  Or could be that your steering rack bushing is very worn, either way that should not be the cause based on what you initially described.

Like others mentioned, it could be the plates in your transfer case.  A small bottle of friction modifier costs $10, and it only needs an ounce of this stuff per quart, it's a cheap way to find out if the issue is with the plates in your transfer case or front diff.

Hello ,

 

A Little Update ..

I added the red line oil to the transfer case and still have the same problem.  I checked the front differential and can't really find anything there either... I looked in with an endoscope and will show you the pictures!

sorry for the bad Quality ..

Yeah I couldn't tell if anything was off based on that.  Like others said, now it seems like it could be the transfer case on its way out.  On a R32 the AWD fuse can be pulled to test, is there a way to disable AWD on a R33 to test?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
