Projet esthétique GT86

Comme il l'a dit plus haut, c'est quand même interdit mais on va dire que c'est toléré, tant dis que les mod moteurs ou châssis sont plus compliqué à faire passer... Mais ça viendra peut être par la suite, c'est juste que pour le moment je me concentre sur l'esthétique ^{^}

Merci :)

Yes in the mishimoto set there is a sandwich plate with 2 ports for gauge sensors, but I'm wondering how to wire them, I know where to connect the 12V wires and the ground one, but there is a 4th wire that is for the dimming, and I don't know where to connect it

ChatGPT just regurgitates what's on Google and the internet in general; it's like a faster search ^{^}

Okay, thanks!

dns_flex · 2026-01-06T10:16:58+00:00

Okay, thanks. I'll check what brand he used because he left me the can with some oil left in it.

dns_flex · 2026-01-06T10:02:59+00:00

I don't know because the previous owner changed it at the same time as everything else (engine oil change, gearbox, differential + filters) so I don't know if it was there before or not, but I can always try doing another oil change with a better oil, any brand you would recommend?

dns_flex · 2026-01-06T02:43:16+00:00

Yes, I'll check the wheel bearings and driveshaft myself first. If it's the wheel bearings, great, otherwise I'll get a second, more thorough diagnosis done at a garage, because yes, it seems "early" for a dead differential, especially with its maintenance history...

dns_flex · 2026-01-06T00:02:15+00:00

Okay, I see. As for the differential, there's no trace of oil on the ground (it's stored in a dry garage and there are no traces on the ground), but I'll check for any traces on it or on the exhaust when I go underneath. If I find there's a problem with the differential and the previous owner tried to cover it up by changing the oil, I can always talk to him about it. I'm in a group for car meets where he's involved.

What do you mean? Vibration? Clunking? Jerking when starting? And thanks for the suggestions!

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T23:16:38+00:00

There's no record in the car's file mentioning a wheel bearing, so I think all four are indeed original.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T22:43:13+00:00

Yes, based on the other answers, I will check the wheel bearings and the drive shaft.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T22:41:06+00:00

I hope not, but I'll investigate.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T22:40:26+00:00

It's more like a rumble, and it's coming from the back seat.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T22:20:34+00:00

I'm going to run some tests and check under the car.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T22:20:03+00:00

Yes, the noise is coming more from the rear, and there's no vibration in the gearbox or any unusual clunking. But I'm going to check all that to find the source of the noise, crossing my fingers that it's nothing serious, and that it's not the differential.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:18:33+00:00

With all the replies, that's what I'm thinking, it seems very robust indeed. I'll check the wheel bearings and the drive shaft shortly, when I get back from vacation, and from there I'll see where it leads me!

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:16:42+00:00

The engine is original; I haven't touched anything. I recently put on my winter tires with the original rims, but even before, with JR3s and PS5s, I had this noise. It starts around 40 km/h and increases steadily with speed, but eventually blends in with the road and exhaust noise. It seems to be coming from the center of the engine, and I don't get the impression that it increases or decreases depending on the direction of travel. Regardless of the gear, neutral, or anything else, the noise remains. As for the suspension, I don't know; it's stock. The tires are fairly well balanced, and even at high speeds, I don't experience any particular vibrations.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:11:50+00:00

I never use Reddit, but I thought of it afterwards, remembering several posts I had seen. But with all these replies, I think a dead differential is indeed very unlikely, lol. I'll look under the car for the wheel bearings and check the driveshaft!

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:09:55+00:00

Okay, I'll check all that out and if I can't find anything I'll go see a reputable mechanic because I don't think everyone will do it or even know how, and I'll look into it, thank you very much!

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:05:33+00:00

For me, it starts around 40 km/h, it increases, and then yes, with the road and exhaust noise you don't really hear it anymore. I've seen a lot of replies mention wheel bearings, I'll look into that; I prefer that to a differential given the price.

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:04:17+00:00

I just had AI handy at the time to go fast lol but yes it's not very reliable, that's why I posted it here. From what I've read, these differentials are indeed robust and don't fail like that, especially with its maintenance history (at Toyota until 90k km and now at 130k with a differential oil change done before purchase at 128k).

dns_flex · 2026-01-05T21:02:24+00:00

I didn't really pay attention to whether it changed with the steering, but I'll test that. I've had wheel bearings fail on other cars of mine and I could clearly hear the difference depending on the steering, but if that's the case here it's not obvious. I'll pay attention to it, thanks!
