hey guys,

have an issue with my 32 GTR

car was parked up in december to do a single turbo conversion,

did not touch the driveline or rear end and the car drove with no issues.

finished it up in april and started getting massive shudder/ tramp in 1st gear

its a nismo coppermix twin plate so should drive like stock, found the only way to avoid it is to drive it like a button clutch.

goes through all the other gears fine, is only on take off.

have since replaced diff fluids with the nissan recommended stuff, only thing i can think of is the suspension being compressed for a while on one side while i had the front passenger side jacked up; mightve seized something?
 

thanks

Sorry should have been clearer,

yeah it’s axle tramp, brutal axle tramp too. Entire car feels like it’s shaking apart.

 

Prop shaft for the awd was out too so it’s definitely coming from the back 

Could be suspension....but I wouldn't put money on it.

Likely to be tyres, from sitting still for months. Flat spot, gone hard, whatever.

I am usually tempted to just blame the stupid R32 anti-squat geometry. I've never been able to stop my shitbox from axle tramping like a flea-bitten dog on meth.

I managed to get my sedan to stop with a proper alignment.

I’ll rotate tyres and see if anything changes, it’s so weird. Only does it when taking off normally, if I drive it like a button clutch, no issues 

nothing between the gears either, it’s like butter 

I’ve checked everything, going to dive under the thing tomorrow and double check in case I missed something.

if the box has to come out again, someone kick the stands lol

Alright checked the tail shaft and gearbox mounts with a pry bar, seems to be all good.

starting to think it’s clutch related..

has anyone had a Nismo dual mass flywheel failure?

 

Yep, standard front and rear diff

again the car drove fine in December, all I’ve done was pull off the twins and fit up a single turbo set up. 
encountered the vibration when I pulled the car out and turned it around for the tow truck before we went to the fabricators.

assumed it’s just one of the massive boost leaks pre plumbing but here we are. 
still shaking it’s tits off

alright fellas,
clutch is no good, no idea why, how or what but im just going to slap a new clutch into the dog and call it a day.
local r32 guy has the exact same issue, seems to be one of the plates fusing to the pressure plate or some shit.

ill post pics when i get the thing out xoxo

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
