I need some help urgently, i recently raced my car at Calder park raceway, on the start line i brought my revs up and dumped the clutch, it made a couple of crunches but the car was still accelerating so i kept my foot into it, not knowing that i had just smashed the rear diff caseing in about 10 peices, just wondering if any other GTR owners have had a similar problem and if so how to fix it. We have had the car up on a hoist but we are still scratching our heads on why it has done this, no the car isnt to low its only 1-2 inches lower than standard. it has nismo shocks (non adjustable) AND whiteline springs, any help would be great. cheers

yeah my thoughts also. i usually jack my 32 GTR up by the rear subframe mount points. gtr is a heavy car and I would think putting all that weight on an alloy diff cover would not be good.

nope if i need to see under the car i put it on the hoist, i was thinking maybe the bushes need replacing with some whiteline pinapples.

Hi SLK-GTR, Whiteline pineaples are supplementary, they don't replace the standard bushes.

Things to check;

1. How low is it? Under 355 mm (centre of wheel to guard) is too low and the drive shaft angles torque the diff and the sub frame.

2. Tailshaft alignment and balance

3. Rear and centre tailshaft bearing and carrier

4. Inner CV's

5. Driveshaft alignment and balance

6. Rear wheel bearings

7. Does it axle tramp? Time for some decent shocks?

8. Rear subframe alignment, worn bushes or accident damage

9. Diff centre alignment, bearings and pinion preload

After that it gets a bit more obscure and unlikely.:P

i have checked most of these things, it use to bang with standard height springs in it now that i have lowered it it seems to have made it better, but then i added more power and that caused it to hit the floor harder. it did tramp a little bit but i was spinning to tyres hard when i raced it. all the bearings seam fine there not noisy and it doesnt viabrate under acceleration and de-acceleration. havnrt checked the cv's yet but i did notice the cv boot was broken could be that, the car has not been in any ac cident every thing is fully alligned. thanks heaps on your information very appreciated

cheers dude

      Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....🤣) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
