hey dudes,

over the last month or so, when i give the car some "load" especially in first and second gear, i feel a couple of weird things going on. btw r32gtr.

1: at 5.5 -6K rpm the car will sorta shudder for a moment and then keep going.

2: AWD is engaging it isnt smooth, as in i can feel the plates try and grip as hard as they can but they just let go, on and off on and off, so essentially the car is jerking very hard.

Things I have done recently:

New 5 puck button clutch. = had a old organic in there

New clutch booster and piston kit

Mods I have:

Clutch

hks air filters = one of the green filters has a big hole in it.

exhaust from dumps = small leak somewhere in the gasket near turbo

iridium spark plugs.

thats about it.

What I have thought about:

Air filter hole

also, maybe low on transmission oil.

maybe low on rear diff oil.

maybe time for new spark plugs.

ok, would be awesome help if anyone has come across this before in their gtr gtst gts4t

update.

I ran RWD to work today and found no sign of shudder, so its coming to me that my transmission/transfer box is possibly low on oil.

anymore ideas or support?

ps. in RWD mode, my car is backfiring a little more than often now when using the engine to slow down / downshifting. =) ???

engine and gearbox cost less then your brake pads do they?

Not last i checked.

but to be more defined, when you accelerate in 3rd gear to "x" speed then decide to go slow down without having to go into 2nd gear, all revs under 4K, thats what i mean in my respect for engine braking.

So any other useful ideas?

Engine braking done properly is fine providing you match revs for higher rpm use.

As for the shuddering make sure you dont actually have a missfire under load (as thats when they tend to pop up).

Either way its not hard to test your clutch and possibly the clutch packs in the transfer case for slip. Find a bit of a hill and start up it slowly in a higher gear like 4th or 5th make sure your really loading up the engine with near to full acceleration then kick the clutch and see how long it takes to re-engage. Dont release your foot off the accelerator while you do that, keep it down like your flat shifting but without the shift :thumbsup: It should regain engagment very quickly if its all good. If not the engine will labour and it will slowly regain engagement.

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
