R34 GTT tailshaft centre bearing

[GTR-32U]

 

Hi all

Getting a slight driveline noise most noticeable below 60 and usually happens at 1500 - 1800 rpm. Driving with the windows down it sounds like it is coming from the tailshaft area.Kind of a chattery sound for maybe 200-300 rpm. Just want to know has anyone changed an R34 tailshaft bearing?, and where is the best place to buy from ( part number ). Are R34 GTT centre bearings the same as previous models ? The car is a turbo manual, and I am located in Sydney. Also as I don't really have the equipment to do the job myself , If anyone can recommend a workshop for this I'd appreciate it

thanx

www.taarks.com would be the place to contact about the tailshaft centre bearing. Also I would remove the tailshaft yourself if you can, just to save a little bit of labour costs. its only 6 bolts to get it out and you can jack the back of the car up high enough so the oil doesnt leak out of your gearbox. any qualified mechanic can replace the bearing as it is quite a simple job. 

tbh though I would be getting it properly diagnosed first as ive never heard of a centre bearing making a chatter noise. i would be getting underneath and having a good look first, the chatter noise could possibly be the exhaust baffles starting to collapse, just get underneath and give them a good bash with your hand and see if they make any noise. not saying thats definatly it but thats what I would be trying first mate.  Hope you get it sorted and its just something simple
