Took my car for a run through the twisties, entered the first corner and my car made some concerning noises/vibrations. Had to take it easy all the way home coz i was worried about safety/expensive tow 1.5hrs out of melbourne.

So today jacked up the car and had a look and found my trust pe2 is rubbing the driveshaft. there's only like a 1cm gap between.

Anyone got any suggestions to fix this? i'm thicking of just using a hammer to bend the exhaust. but the exhaust is like mint =\

Nah dont put a bend in it, theyll ruin the exhaust.

Just get them to chop the flange off ur front pipe or cat and re-do it. A couple of degrees at the cat/frontpipe will give you plenty of clearance where the driveshaft is.

Hey,

Is the pipe out the back of the car in the correct place?

If I had to guess, I'd say you've snapped a rubber mount and the whole thing isn't hanging correctly.

Have a good look underneath to see.

If all the hangers are correct, you _can_ move the pipework slightly on its mounts to drag the muffler away from the shaft.

If there's no room for movement left you could get an exhaust shop to relocate one or more of the mount points to

place the muffler where you want it. Shouldn't cost too much.

But moving that muffler/pipework will also move the rear tip - so if the tip is currently correctly positioned, it will no longer be after the move.

So the pipework between the muffler and the tip may need to be cut and rejoined to allow the tip to be relocated after you move the muffler.

Regards,

Saliya

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
