  2. So I had the car up on the air yesterday, and I have so great new for me! Im 95% sure the diff okay, and I think it's just the rear left outer CV that has broken; When the rear wheels are off the ground and it's in gear, ✅Prop shaft spins ✅Right axle and wheel spins ✅left axle spins ❌Left wheel does not And a squeeking/rubbing noise comes from the CV boot. This makes alot of sense, because the diff wasnt put under and strain or abuse when I lost power. Also makes sense because one wheel won't spin, so as far as the car is aware wheel speed is zero on one wheel. Hence the slip light. I was gonna replace the CV joint but it's more/as expensive as a whole second hand axle so... New axle it is 👍
  3. Well checked on the ground like suggested, the prop shaft was spinning but the drive shafts were not
  4. Yeah the prop shaft is spinning, so it has to be something diff related surely. If it was electrical and a sensor fail I'd have EML on wouldn't I, so the fact I don't have any lights other than slip on or the TCS if I turn it off (not at the same time) it makes me think it's a mechanical diff issue? I herd 350 diffs arent the best,( 350 drifters normally weld them regardless right, but I'd rather LSD to drive roads with ) but do they really just go that easily? Azurez33, you mentioned draining out the diff oil, a diff oil change surely wouldn't fix the issue would it?? Or is it more so to see if there are metal fragments in it to show the diff teeth have had it? Reckon it's gonna have to be a new diff? Might be heading your way zmanalez
  5. Thanks guys really appreciate the suggestions! some good points to start, hopefully I'll have a jack and stands by the weekend so will try and get amongst it and see what it could be
  6. Yeah I'll get it up next time I get chance (not long moved so haven't got my axle stands or jack with atm. But I'll do these checks when I next can, Thanks for all your comments so far, I'll keep you posted
  7. They were spinning last night, as I was able to reverse in to a parking space after being towed home (but it was as if I was just on the bite, and revs wouldn't do anything) this morning the same thing, it would bite but as soon as it met any resistance like a dropped curb it wouldn't move I will double check later tho that the prop shaft is still spinning and get back to you My gut feeling is it's diff related, but I hope I'm wrong There were no crunches or nasty noise's when I lost the power
  8. I'm on 86ishK but it's a mix of miles and km I haven't had one replaced no, I don't think the previous owner had it done either but they didn't have the car too long. You think it's clutch related? I can go into gear with no problem tho, no crunching or grinding, it's just a wiring noise coming from the rear of the car once I try to apply power
  9. Hi guys, Firstly, I'm sorry if there's already a thread about this, I couldn't find one matching my symptoms after searching for a few hours. I picked my (54) Fair lady Z up in August, I haven't experienced any issues with it until now. I was driving home from the shop last night, came up to a roundabout, naturally slowed down, went around some one on a pedal bike as I came off the around about (to give an idea of how slow I was actually going) As I tried to pull off again, slip light came on, and I lost any sort of power to the rear wheels. I came to a stop, and I couldn't pull off again. At the time, I could go into gear and it would bite (weakly and I could crawl forward (& backwards in reverse) but I didn't have enough power to even get up a very small incline, the while time the slip light kept blinking while trying to accelerate. (Thankfully I was around the corner from home and my mate towed me back) This morning I went out to take a look, and the same thing today (obviously, its broken) I can go into gear, but there's no power transmitted to the wheels, it makes a weird squeek noise when it tires to pull away. The same thing happens whether the traction control is on or off (bar the slip light flashing if TCS is on) I have no other lights on the dashboard. I have no idea what could be wrong and don't know where to start looking really. I was wondering if I could tap into you guys knowledge. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. https://photos.app.goo.gl/UbNdsqoseSeJrjSCA (I have a video of it but it won't let me add it to the thread, hopefully this link will let you see it)
