Hi All
I have had a issue with my r32 gtr for a while now and am wondering if anyone has any ideas..
When im driving and have my hand on the gearstick and depress the clutch or accelerate or decelerate I feel a slight knock through my hand like the gearstick it being hit buy something, I took it to Nissan and got their head mechanic to take a drive and he thought it might be the gearbox mounts or engine mounts,i didn't think so as the stick moves not the gearbox but I thought well ill give it a go and replace the gearbox and engine mounts..but no improvement.. I thing the the drive shaft might be sitting on a worn bearing and maybe rocking up and down when I accelerate of depress the clutch ..any thoughts?

Point 1. Do not take a 20+ year old car to a dealership to get mechanical diagnosis. The mechanics at dealerships only know how to read recall bulletins and do oil changes.

Point 2. Tailshaft has a centre bearing. That may be worn.

Point 3. Diff has numerous gears and bearings. Any of these may be worn.

Point 4. Driveshafts have CV joints. These may be worn.

Point 5. Rear hubs have splines. These may be worn, along with the wheel bearings.

Any and all of these, and probably all of these, are likely to be to blame. You need to take it to a decent mechanic who is used to Skylines and Silvias because finding these driveline lashes and clashes can be a pain.
