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.

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
