hey guys i have a 1990 r32 gtr i have a bit of a issue i dont know what to do or where to go
my front cv boots were on there way out the left one outter boot was stuffed and the right inner was gone to and i only drived it on the weekend. the issues i have was when i had it awd it would make a clicking noise from the left hand side when i would give it shit in first in second not the typical signs like turning (it never made a noise when doing that only when i was trying deliver the power through and go in straight and only if i full locked it while trying to reverse it would make a big clunk noise )

so the plan was to buy complete front drive shaft set from nissan because i was having trouble soucing new boots for it and most cv places wouldnt touch it . so in the mean time i would drive it in rear so not put stress on the front . it would never make a noise or clicking when it was in rear . for a while i left it in the shed for 6 months to do work on it and worried about doing any more damage to it .

long story short i started driving it again but left it in rear and didnt put it in awd due to the cv problem ,recently i put it back in awd and took it for a drive now im getting a center clicking noise its not a plesent noise in any way i thought it might of been my center bearing but that is fine.
what im wanting to know is that has any one had any simular problems and if any one could help me out with any info at all or places to take it to (perth region ) or wat to do:)
the mods list is to long but in a short way to explain everything has been modified on it besides the internals on the motor and gearbox she is running 440hp in awd and 520 in 2wd
drivetrain mods :my front diff is a mz 1.5 way cusco dif with 4.375 front and back dif gears, orc 709d twin plate clutch and running 275/40 tyres on 17x10 rims
dont know if that would help but i thought id put it in there i havent had problems before that when i use to drive every weekend only after i took her off the road for the 6 months and then started to drive it again on the weekends . regular services on it but havent done a diff or gear box service on it for 4000kms doesnt leak any fluids or anything never let me down tilll now

thanks for your time and hope it makes sence and hope i can get help with this issue thanks

Have you checked out your Cusco front diff?

When i needed a front boot for my GTR i went to M&S driveshafts with my old one and they matched it up for me.

http://msdriveshafts.com.au/

I dont remember the part number as it was years ago but they matched my old one that i brought into something that was on the shelf.

Maybe try calling them, they might know off the top of their heads which boot kit it is, there are a few GTR workshops around them so i think they might know from servicing them.

Are your drive shaft bolts tight next to the sump?

On a side note i had a click coming from my LHS once, what at the time i thought was a drive shaft. it turned out to be the aftermarket rims i ran caused the issue, when on stockies the click went away.....

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
