R32 GTR driveline shudder when taking off in 1st


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

have an issue with my 32 GTR

car was parked up in december to do a single turbo conversion,

did not touch the driveline or rear end and the car drove with no issues.

finished it up in april and started getting massive shudder/ tramp in 1st gear

its a nismo coppermix twin plate so should drive like stock, found the only way to avoid it is to drive it like a button clutch.

goes through all the other gears fine, is only on take off.

have since replaced diff fluids with the nissan recommended stuff, only thing i can think of is the suspension being compressed for a while on one side while i had the front passenger side jacked up; mightve seized something?
 

thanks

Sorry should have been clearer,

yeah it’s axle tramp, brutal axle tramp too. Entire car feels like it’s shaking apart.

 

Prop shaft for the awd was out too so it’s definitely coming from the back

Could be suspension....but I wouldn't put money on it.

Likely to be tyres, from sitting still for months. Flat spot, gone hard, whatever.

I am usually tempted to just blame the stupid R32 anti-squat geometry. I've never been able to stop my shitbox from axle tramping like a flea-bitten dog on meth.

I managed to get my sedan to stop with a proper alignment.

I’ll rotate tyres and see if anything changes, it’s so weird. Only does it when taking off normally, if I drive it like a button clutch, no issues 

nothing between the gears either, it’s like butter

I’ve checked everything, going to dive under the thing tomorrow and double check in case I missed something.

if the box has to come out again, someone kick the stands lol

Alright checked the tail shaft and gearbox mounts with a pry bar, seems to be all good.

starting to think it’s clutch related..

has anyone had a Nismo dual mass flywheel failure?

f**k this gets even weirder then.

Might just take it to a shop and let them deal with it. 
managed to work out everything to date but this has me stumped

Yep, standard front and rear diff

again the car drove fine in December, all I’ve done was pull off the twins and fit up a single turbo set up. 
encountered the vibration when I pulled the car out and turned it around for the tow truck before we went to the fabricators.

assumed it’s just one of the massive boost leaks pre plumbing but here we are. 
still shaking it’s tits off

alright fellas,
clutch is no good, no idea why, how or what but im just going to slap a new clutch into the dog and call it a day.
local r32 guy has the exact same issue, seems to be one of the plates fusing to the pressure plate or some shit.

ill post pics when i get the thing out xoxo

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
