Looking for input on potential trouble..

Ok I'm finding that I'm getting some shuddering when planting the power down. I dont know how to really explain it but say for instance I'm turning left or right and put the foot down (not to whel spin) I get a shuddering coming fro the rear, hard to pin point but either left side or from diff. When I stop and then start slowly I get small clunk as well. This is a recent occurence. My thoughts are either the diff is screwing up or driftshaft cv's are on the way out.

When starting from standing position and put the foot down there is shuddering as well. Had a look under the car and cant see any oil leaks and everything visibly looks ok (mind you quick look only as only 3c outside today). I've got carbon tailshaft due to go in this week(probably next) so was get them to have a gander at everything but thought I"d post up here and see what peoples opinions are..

cheers

No clunk...if I take off really slowly I hear the slightest clunk noise but its cornering slowly and then putting the power down is when I get the shuddering.

Its at workshop being checked today so will see what they have to say tomorrow.

Sorry bit slow with feed back...

Well my tuner plus guys at HKS have both had a look and either cant hear or feel the noise and cant pinpoint it to anything.

I changed my wheels the other 2 days ago tp put my snow wheels/tyres on for winter and had a good suss. The only thing I could find is the right rear has slight play when rotated hub back and forth so maybe there is slack in the pre-load.

As far as oil in the diff not 100% but Nismo changed it when I bought the car 1 year ago so reckon they put the good stuff in. They did full check on the car before I bought it.

I know the guys at HKS here pretty well and they are building me motor and doing heap of work so we're going on the basis if it blows we'll replace it. The motor will be built and tuned for around an easy 600ps and could easily pushed for alot more. The drive train hopefully will be built to be bullet proof.

I"ll be posting up the build elsewhere as well as impending divorce when the misso sees how much it will all cost!!

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
