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?

 

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

  • 4 weeks later...

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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
