Are there any known/common issues that cause excessive driveline shunt? When I first got mine having come from a 130k mile 1998 200sx, i was very impressed with how tight it all felt with 80k on the clock. Its now on 125k and feels a bit shunty, I dont know if its in my head or somethings worn? I dont wanna start just randomly changing parts and taking things apart trying to chase a problem that doesnt exist. So does anyone have any advice on the subject?

Clean the throttle body & tighten the throttle cable.

Massive difference...

What is driveline shunt?

Check engine / trans mounts and diff bushes.

It's that clunk you get before you pull off as all the stuff gets into line.

engine, diff and gearbox mounts.

True, but work you way upwards.

I found that changing sticky throttle cables on the 'Lude and NSX (odd that, since it's DBW!) helped too.

Mine shunts badly, especially when dropping gears and snapping the clutch up without rev matching. I've replaced eng/tran mounts, need to do my diff mounts next.

Have a look at your propshaft, my old one had shat itself all over the underside of my car, replaced this and had silence for about 6 months.

Yer, that, it can be a number of things which is why i was asking if there was a common one that went wrong... starts at the lash in the gears, a worn rubber coupling if there is one, the uj's in the prop, diff lash, then two sets of driveshaft CV's and many many bearings. All these parts can wear and cause that delay between when you disengage the clutch and the wheels start rotating, usually accompanied by clunk and a shunt sensation.

Cheers guys for the tips i'll start with the suggestions, anymore are welcome
