Noisey Diff When Cold

Hey,

well my diff started making a bit of a noise when i would first drive down the road, very soon after like with in about 15secs it would be on off with the noise and about 30secs later have no real noise at all,

so i decided possibly not enough oil? as it got a good coating it stopped making noise, but the diff also had a bit of a vibration i thought at higher speeds like 120 or maybe it was just because of the solid bushes i put on the sub frame,

i did a oil change, plenty of oil in there, but stuck to the magnet is a little ball bearing, like the size of a bb gun pellet, been sctrached up and there was a bit of sludge so i dont know how warn down it has gotten, im guessing it wouldnt have been much as when the outside of a bb goes it becomes very soft,

any idea's of what would run this size ball bearings? im guessing it could have something to do with the lsd (its a factory viscous R33 Diff), i really dont think it would be a bearing going for the drive shaft as its to small for that i feel, im going to pull the diff out today so hopefully i should have some more pics soon of what bearings it is,

if any1 knows what bearing this could be and part numbers etc to buy some more that would be good,

Cheers JV

      Welcome. We're all grumpy old men (and a few grumpy old women) who are slowly coming to hate these cars. Any of the newer owners who have joined in the last few years are rapidly catching up with us as they realise they have bought a basket case and that parts are getting difficult to find. Just be realistic about your goals. You'll need a fat stack of cash to buy an R34 GTR, and you'd be far better off using that to buy absolutely anything else (ie, shares, a house, scratchy tickets) unless that fat stack of cash is only ~10% of the actual fat stack of cash that you have. You'll never want to drive an R34 GTR on the street if you have fear of it getting destroyed. That's more or less true of the 33s and 32s also. Most of the RWD cars have been drifted backwards into power poles. No-one knows what they are worth these days because they are not changing hands. My car has notionally been down to <$10k value at some point and was probably sellable for $40-$50k in the height of COVID stupidity, but I have no idea what it's really worth now. It's irreplaceable anyway, because... where would I find one to replace it? Being realistic means either paying a lot of cash for a really really clean example that you will only drive on sunny Sundays, or buying one to daily that you will not want to be really really clean, for the same fears of destruction that applies to the GTR. I daily mine and some people think I'm crazy. But....to me it's just a car that I bought last century with the express purpose of driving it as my daily. The silliness that has happened since doesn't affect my original purpose. I have well and truly amortised the initial purchase cost and most (probably all) of the subsequent modification costs. But I don't think I could go out and buy one now to daily.

      This is insane! The M1 likely to be closed for the entire day!  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-02/m1-motorway-delays-as-metal-shards-cause-flat-tyres-/105242272

      Hey everyone! I'm quite young and I don't have enough to get a car right now but I love Nissan Skylines (Specifically the r34 GT-R. I'm so original I know.) and I would love to buy one in the future. I have no background knowledge, only an interest in cars, but I'd love to learn how they work so I can mod in the future. I've done some basic research on what model of Skyline I would start with and what mods to get started with are but nothing else. I'm here to learn! Hope you all have a great day
