Hey ive just purchased a 2003 v35 coupe auto with 80k on it. Car hasnt been in australia for long in fact it was only registered last month. The issue im having is every time i turn on the car and drive off in the first gear change it seems, i hear a crunch. It only doesnt it first time i turn on the car and it doesnt matter if the engine is cold or up to temprature. Ive checked the gearbox oil and it seems fine so i think i shoukd just drop it and put new stuff in.

Any one else experience something similar?

I hear a grinding when i drive off and it hits second gear. Only happens on a cold start and it grinds for a second. Anyone know if that could be abs too? Btw mines auto. Not sure if gearbox or this abs u guys mention.

probably ABS, maybe next time hold it in 1st until you get past the speed it normally shifts to 2nd, if it still does it, it is most likely the ABS, if only does it when your transmission actually shifts to 2nd, it might be a transmission issue.

my sedan does it.. if it doesn't happen, maybe your ABS isn't working.. All ABS systems do some sort of test like this, but most don't have the actuator attached to the firewall, so you don't hear it.

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
