G'day fellow Skyline enthusiasts,

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who would have the answer to my puzzle…..

I've got an R32 GTR and have recently got a problem with the rear 'right' wheel (if sitting in the car) shuddering when taking off from a stand still position. It only seems to shudder when taking off to the right and not the left and it's only the rear right wheel and not the rear left wheel shuddering....

Could this be the diff, HICAS or the bushes in the rear or could it just be something simple like tightening an arm on that wheel?

Urgently need your expert help with this problem.......?

Regards,

KP

I was reading about someone having a similar problem recently, and it turned out to be the tyre... are the tyres the same both sides, and is the right one in good nick? seated on the rim properly? good luck - not really expert help :)

It sounds like the diff trying to lock up.

Don't ask me why, but these problems seem to have something to do with the connection onto the TPS - try cleaning the terminals there, and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice!...it only seems to do it when turning to the right from a stand still and not left...I had my mate watching the wheel while I drove off slowly and he said that it shakes pretty bad and almost completely locks up and stops the car.

It's fine in a straight line and to the left and the other wheel doesn't do it at all.

Has anyone experienced this problem or an expert on R32 GTR's???.... :P

Yeah im going through that at the mement, front diff needs a rebuild, or in your case - rear!

Have you got OEM suspension?

Check the joints between diff and wheel - thats where my problem became most apparent

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply!...but brand new tyres so hopefully that's not the problem, don't want to buy new ones!....

hang on a tick. has this just started since you fitted your new tyres? if so i dont think it is too hard to see where the problem was caused. are all the tyres the same size/profile?

Yeah, all the tyres are the same profile and same tyre as I had them fitted in a professional shop and all are brand new and I've done around 1,000k's on them since new.

I actually had the diff out of it about 4 months ago as it had this really loud wyning noice coming from the back end when the car was in motion. It turned out to be the front bearing in the rear diff....might be something in the diff again on the right side wheel.....

Thanks for your help, fella's!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
