possible broken diff???

posting here as im not sure what else it could be...

i pulled away from the lights last night on the way home, nothing stupid, just driving nicely.

got to about 2500rpm and felt a "thud" then a "wamp wamp wamp"

thought it was a flat tyre (ive never accually had one so its what i assumed a flat tyre would feel like)

got out n checked all wheels, all still inflated, kicked all wheels, all still attached properly...

so anyone got any ideas what this could be?

in the end i got the car put on a transporter and taken home... THANKS STATE INSURENCE!!!

I was wondering if a tooth broke in the diff would this happen? the back end of the car felt slightly squirmy, and the slower you go the quieter the noise is... eg if your at walking pase you cant hear it at all, and when your in the car its more of a physical jult than a sound...

I've just had a crawl under the car and I cant see any thing obviously wrong...

Theres what looks to be a bit of oil stainage on the right hand side of the rear diff, but looks like thats been there for a while...

Does anyone have any processes I can try, to determan what could be the issue?

ok.... so i have egg on my face..... :-X

just had another look at the wheels... turns out there was a blot in the left rear tyre...

not just any bolt though... this is a big MOFO!!! had to get a 12mm socket to unscrew it... it was really deep... im suprissed the tyre isnt flat... will have to go get it checked soon...

so all is well, thanks for your help people!!!

ive never seen a bolt that big before, musit have been a total flyke it ended up stuck in my tyre... explains the squirmyness and the "wamp wamp wamp"

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
