Guys this is usually attributed to the transfercase to front diff tailshaft. Pull it out and you will notice that as you turn the uni joints around manually they will be quite notchy. The other usual cause for this is the front CV joints needing the grease to be removed and repacked. But I'd be pulling the front tail shaft out first and feeling if the uni's move without any notchy spots. My bet is it will be! Seen atleast 4 like that now including my own.. replace the shaft.. all good.

can the joints be replaced or do you need to replace the whole shaft!

Welcome back to the forums mat! Hope your ready for some fishing this summer, I'm inquiring into buying a tinny tomorrow. Look out all garfish in the bay! Haha

And to ben, the shaft isnt that hard to drop out, I somehow can get a socket on one end and ring spanner on the other... Intact I can often crack them by just using the socket end sure they spin a few times before they bite and un-do but it does happen eventually. They don't need to be ball breaker tight either. Got a spare shaft you can try here to ben if your joints are suspect not sure how good the joints of my spare are but you could use it to eliminate issues :-)

I've also noticed I am starting to get this slight shuddering under hard acceleration ...happens from about 50-90 km/hr.

Also have a slight noise, much more pronounced when turning out of corners but related to heavy throttle and heavy engine load only...doesn't do it at idle or when engine is revved at idle. Kind of sounds like a wheel bearing noise but not the wheel bearings...CV's ? driveshaft uni's? accessory pulley? water pump? Related to above problem or seperate?

I call it the 'Stagea Strange Noise' (SSN) and keep driving.

If the problem is not sorted by the time of the Stagea cruise I'll jump in the car with you and see if I can diagnose it for you.

Well the bolts were effing tight and I'll end up replacing all the nuts - 2 of them got burred. But, the sucker is out, and the uni's _are_ knackered.

I'll be dropping the shaft into Adelaide Tailshaft Services ASAP to get the uni's replaced. A new shaft is $1100 (special price) from Nissan...

I test drove the car last night, and the vibration under hard throttle seems to be fixed (but the traction is certainly reduced. For those that have wondered - the ATTESA-ETS is used LOTS, even in everyday driving). However, my wife has indicated that a vibration at ~100km/h is still there. Its nature is consistent of wheel balance issue (rotation movement in the steering wheel), so I'll be getting that seen to this weekend (which is almost due anyway), but will check the CV's for play between now & then.

How do u pull out your front uni, theres four bolts toward the front of the car which will detach the front end. Does the back end simply pull out, if it does is there going to be any oil/fluid come out or is it like a dry spline.

well i still have this persistant little problem of the shudders all uni and CV joints replaced new front drive shaft in big improvments, but looks like problem has been located while having the car up on the hoist to fit auto shift kit in had a good look around and the rear drive shaft center bearing looks deteriated giving the drive shaft some play especially when the drive line has warmed up so looks like replacement time hard part is have to take it out so can take it to some one so they can match new one up unless any one on here knows part number for one. But the MV automatics shit kit is excellent best improvment yet :wub: chirps in to second

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
