Picked Up The R34

[Andi]

Hey all

Tonight I picked up the R34 I was fairly interested in. Moving from a GTIR its quite a change, the car feels alot bigger but then again its very stable and feels safe. The R34 feels alot more 'smoother' as well.

Only problem with the car is that when accelerating when the car is under load (high gear and low speed, or low speed and not in correct gear) we can hear this loud whirring/rattling noise in the back. Its much more noticable in the back seat and I at first thought it was the diff. But then after abit more driving and with the windows down it sounds like metal banging so I'm hoping its the stock exhaust being too close to the chassis or something.

Could the problem above be the diff? Are the GTT's known to having diff problems? I didn't think so, and specially not at this at the amount of kms this car has done.

Anyway the specs are:

1998 Model

32,000kms

Manaul

Xenon headlights

Factory bodykit

And everything else absolutely stock apart from:

Zeal (I think) Coilovers

18' Volk Racing SE37 Rims

Let me know what you think guys. Looking forward to enjoying these forums.

Thanks,

Andy

Nice one man.

Could be the exhaust fallen out of one of it's mounting rubbers. It happens and is easy to fix.

Could be a mechanical diff I suppose although you would hear it clanking while turning sharp corners and slow speeds (like car parking) if that was it.

Hey guys, thanks. Yeah I just picked it up tonight so there wasn't any sunlight for pictures. I'll post up new pictures tomorrow.

Thanks Abo Bob, I think I'll post up a thread in the maintenence section to be more specific.
