Hi all

I need your help?

Just recently every time i turn my 32gtr 1989 model AWD starts to lock up the diff and is very hard to make it move where i have to over rev engine to get some movement, could anyone help who has had the same problem or has an answer on what i should do?

hi guys ok so i decided to do a bit more investigation on this so i got in the car with a mate and took it for a drive and after giving it a hit a few times to warm up the diff and gear box we went to a empty industrial road and started to turn the car. I steped outside to see if it woul lok up but all i saw was that the when you stop the car and take off and turn it shudders but the rear and front wheels move normal.

I have been advised that because i have a jim berry Full monty that the clutch is a Brass button and when it heats up on the fly it tends to shudder

I am lost now guys not to sure what it could be is there any ideas ?

so you are saying that you have to rev the car harder to get it to move? it could be one of a few issues. it could be a siezed brake (or hand brake), diff issue or clutch/gearbox issue. might be worth starting by jacking the car up and seeing how easy it is to spin each of the wheels. that may also help you isolate whether it's front or rear diffs causing the issue (if there is a diff issue).

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
