Hey all, hope we all having a merry christmas ^^,

Ive noticed recently when im moving in this grid-locked christmas traffic my car acts weirdly.

I bring the revs up to 900-1000 and let go of clutch until the car starts to move, as the car starts to move, i get this weird wobble. Its not like a shudder when you're about to stall, feels more of like a wobble..

During this wobble the revs are constant (900~) if i increase the revs the wobbling is still there until i let more off the clutch.

I have no idea what this is and is annoying when im crawling through traffic...

I'm pretty sure my r32 still has the original clutch, if this may be the source of the problem..

Does anyone have any info regarding this?

Edit:

Also not knowing if it relates, but when im idling at rest, i can feel through the seat a low rumble sort of brrrrr and then stops for a second or two, and then rumbles again.

Before it used to shake the whole car and make pop noise but this was fixed by cleaning the AAC valve. Although the low rumble/vibration felt through the seat is still there...

During the low rumble/vibrations the, rpm's do not drop or raise on the dash. They stay constant at 750rpm

Im thinking its injectors but not too sure...

Thanks

Patrick

when you experience the "wobble" that you're getting does it feel like a forward/backward motion or a side to side motion? One of my mates has a magna with a loose engine mount and when he sits in drive at the lights it shudders to all hell but that's cause it's really loose.

Could be a loose gearbox or engine mount etc. but then again could be something else. Either way sounds like you'll end up at the mechanic soon enough with it on a hoist cause it'll keep doing it and you'll get sick of it soon enough.

good luck finding out what's wrong :santa:

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
