Ok I have a minor problem. I have a pulsing vibration. Similar to when a uni goes. It can be seen throught the shifter in 3rd and felt through the car in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Has anyone come across this or similar problems before. I heading to get the wheels balanced and wheel alignment checked tomorrow. Car has Only 56 000km's on it.

Ok wheel alignment was done today. But has made no difference. The vibration is still there. The revs stay the same while driving . Revs do fluctuate at idle though. I'm thinking it's between the g/box and the diff. As it can be felt through the seat while driving and seen through the shifter but only when in 3rd.

What a decent workshop in Bris that know there shit when it comes to Gtr's

Yeah shifter moves back and forth slightly not sure on clicking sound at all

If you go slowly in 2nd or 3rd and then accelerate and then decelerate and then repeat the cycle, is there any clicking sound, or sudden movement in the shifter?

If there's vibrations going on whilst at constant speeds whilst cruising, I suspect tailshaft

If there's clicking at low speeds on accel/decel cycles I suspect diff oil needs changing

If there's a lot of movement in the gear lever with vibrations, I'm wondering about bushes/springs too

You've got a good Brissy mechanic?

Yeah not sure i've only had the car a week. Does anyone know of any decent mechanics?

U can notice the shifter vibrate in 3rd the most. Do the tailshafts fail? Would it be the centre bearing?

You running stock rims, or rims with the same rolling diameter & width at all corners?? I heard that different profile tyres & different width rims could cause problems with the awd system on earlier gtr's. Just a quick check. After that, +1 for the possible tailshaft culprate.

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
