OK, I need to draw on the collective experience on here! Put my car on a dyno this morning to try and diagnose a miss high in the revs. Anyway, the problem is that now the back of the car vibrates and almost bounces at speed. It was suggested at Chilleh tonight that the CV joints might be the culprit, but there is no vibration through the gearstick or steering wheel. All seat of the pants big-time vibration!

Could the dyno have spun the tyres and put out the balance so much as to cause the massive vibration??

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Dave

And the prize goes too................

No one!! Turns out one of the tyres was about to pop!! Being some cheap shite from assbang indonesia, they couldn't take our Aussie heat and there were 6 bulges on the inside of the tyre wall all about 4 cm's wide. So, 2 new tyres on the back and we will keep an eye on the front ones. Got some decent tyres this time, Firestone Firehawks. $500 for the two fitted and balanced so not too bad.

Have kept the old tyres as I may take them back as they were only 5 months old.

      My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.

      It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.

      I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.

      -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
