I have a problem with my dear little nissan.
i was driving home from work, and the car kind of felt as though it was happier to turn right than it was to turn left.
Thinkin i may have a flat tyre i just blipped the throttle to see what happened (about 20mph) and the back end desides to overtake the front, almost spinning me out on my local high street. I managed to correct it, and pulled over. I couldnt see anything up with the tyres, i checked the pressures and they were fine.
I'm back on standard wheels too, so its not like theres massive strain.
I took the car do a deserted piece of road, and puut my foot down. Massive amounts of wheelspin as soon as i came on boost so...
It seems gtir's have some scary problems with their drivetrain. what with me nearly getting spun out, 2 others having wheels lock up.
now i'm thinking, what could have caused my problem....
1) could the transfer box have died? Would this cause all power to divert to the rear? can that happen by the nature of the design of the box?
2) Could the rear diff somehow no longer be lsd and the car is just letting 1 rear wheel spin? (i don't think this would have made me spin out though)
3) Could the front diff have gone up the spout, causing loss of power to the front wheels, so the transfer box decides to sent it all to the back. can it do that?
4) I think (hope) this might be the more realistic proposition.... for a little while, i have noticed knocking turning right, i asumed it must be cv joint, and took no more notice of it thinking i'll fix it in a few weeks. My work car then failed the mot, so i've had to use the car every day. Not my plan at all, and i havent been able to do the joint yet. If a cv joint went on the front, would that cause the power to be lost at the front wheels (assuming the front isn't an lsd on these cars) and thus divert it all to the rear?
Any help would be apreciated, and i hope nobody else has the problem
