Clunking Diff, Or Is It.. ?

hey there,.

im getting a problem pretty much like axle tramp but when im cornering right hand turns even under very low throttle the rear end clunks an shakes violantly. Its literally like driving a car that has bad axle tramp when you dump the clutch in the wet and it shakes like crazy. it also does it a little when i gun it through 2nd and into 3rd. between gear it shakes a bit, iv only just felt this though because i had my clutch done. the major problem is the right hand turns.

the problems pretty shocking so i need a solution pretty soon. Pedders checked out all my suspention and rekn that everything is in perfect condition and they think that my diff might be is shagged and has huge amounts of play in it which is what they think is causing the shuddering.

The diff also clunks a bit in 4th,5th or reverse when you back on and off throttle lightly so im thinking that my diff is rooted. Surely if the thing has a mechanical diff init it wouldnt be this harsh would it ? and it would do it al the time not just right hand turns ?

advise and ideas greatly appreciated guys!!

cheers

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)

      Id just remove the solid subframe bushes.  you are over complicating things.  on a side note make sure you do some research on the skyline shed before buying from them.

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      Just got back from overseas and once again Rego and service time. Supercheap auto cant find my plates on their list to match my car to buy a crush washer lolol. NRMA has my number plate linked to R35 GTR which i have explained once again that it is not a GTR. Its scary in the sense that if somthing happens and my insurance wont cover me if its the wrong car on their list even though they are the ones that have made the mistake. Im not sure NIGHTCRAWLER why the neg comment? Its a 2020 V37 400R Skyline? and asking for someone to post their VIN number is crazy just to prove it? Its a legit Nissan Skyline from japan factory 400R its does use the Q50 infinity chasis but this is the Japan model.
