Hey guys,

Just recently Ive noticed this with my 33...

Reverse out of garage and do some turns to get out of my driveway and basically each quarter turn I can feel in the steering a bit of a shudder/bad vibration and you can also hear it.

While driving, say around about or anything - once again - same thing.

And no guys, I havent been out street drifting and hit a kerb :bunny:

Just wondering has it happened to anyone else and what is the solution?

Ive got driftland on friday night so I want the car for that, but if the steering is playing up - I dont want to brake anytihng else

Cheers guys,

Chris

chris,

is it happening at all speeds? and did it start happening after putting the lock bar in?

maybe have a look under and start shaking stuff and see if anything loose

wat type of noise does it make? could be ur diff?

Stephen,

nah its front end mate - just thought maybe the hicas lock bar and together with whole steering system has put something out?

Someone else mentioned rack and castor to check - so will have to get the car jacked up!

Hey chris, I had the same problem mate, you can hear it groaning a bit right? It's probably just air in your power steering lines, all you do is turn the ignition on and sit there going from side to side full lock until the noise goes away. Have fun it can take a while!!

Steve!

Hi mate!

I hope thats all it is hey!

I jacked the car up (didnt get time to make it to my mechanics today) and I can see some fluid leaking somewhere.

Looks like the rubber bit on one of the steering arms

Could be the answer....

well, time to book it in...again....d'oh

At least I can get the rest of my suspension finnished!

Hey guys,

Took the car in, and it was actually my oil coolier braided line, i had broken the bracked when I came off at Oran Park and the line was on one of the steering parts causing the vibration!

So not much money later and Ive got a brand new, better bracket there and shes all good :(

Man I worry too much :)

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      R34 Diff oil

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      Short shifter r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
