im guessing youre running the factory USDM s13 drive shaft? if so... might be time to change out that stupid hockey puck bushing as those tend to wear our (and will shred) rather quickly when you start abusing them given their age. its located at the front of your drive shaft after the first u-joint directly out of the tranny. i would HIGHLY recommend you find yourself a stock JDM S13 drive shaft as it only uses u-joints instead of u-joint to bushing to shaft.
No i'm using the s13 open pumpkin with the J30 internals swapped inside, so no bushings. I agree I would like to get a better driveshaft but by getting one won't solve my noise problem. My current stock shaft has no play at the joints and very little play at the tranny when in gear. Again, it made zero noise before all of the work done so I can't really say spending money on a new driveshaft will fix the clunk.
