Just a guess and this is only because I had this happen.

Something fell down the right side of my boot floor so it was between the bodykit and the car.

Every time I put my foot down it would vibrate.

Ended up being a can of something down there.

We're talking about a car perhaps 20 years old and probably still running the original driveline components, despite who knows how many high rpm clutch dumps.

My money is on the propshaft universal joint and that's a specialist repair job.

Not replaceable due to the peened-in design but still they perform extremely well.

However if you load them up heaps, the worn needles won't be happy and hello vibrations.

Whilst underneath the tailshaft of a different R32 GT-R, push upwards at the joint or bearing, you'll probably notice that it's a lot stiffer than yours.

Yours might even have a slight bow in it - or it's softer. It'd certainly have more movement - hmm, maybe 2".

It would be easier to change the whole shaft than a universal joint (as jiffo alluded to).

I don't know about tailshaft replacements in a R32 GT-R; but in the R33 GT-R, the tailshaft is different between a V-Spec and a Non-V-Spec.

I have the same problem ( well I think). It usually happens between 2.8 k to 3.2k then booom turbos kick-in 10psi and you don,t notice it anymore.

You barely notice it in 1-3 because of how quick the GTR goes from 2.8 to 3.2. so its really more a thing of cruising on the highway in 5th gear.

I thought it was my 20yr old diff. or could this be du to an aftermarket diff making this weird sound?

      @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).

      At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself

      I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
