Hi Everyone,

I've noticed that when i hit above 100kph and brake lightly, my steering wheel starts to shake abit. Before i got my front rotors machined it was shaking real violently. I have also noticed that my car does drift to the left quite often especially when on high speeds. All wheels have been balanced and aligned.

Has anyone experienced these symptoms in the past? any help would be great.

Cheers

Mark

hey mate, mine does the same thing, my mate reckons its cos the rotors might be warped and on their way out. And also since i got adjustable castor rods the other day my steering shakes a lot more now at around 100+km/h, but the weird thing is it seems like it depends on the surface of the road?

Maybe the castor and camber setting is too agressive? I don't get shakes or anything in my Silvia but I do notice it tends to follow the camber of the road more than it used to. It sits perfectly straight on a flat road though.

There are a bunch of bushes in your steering system that could be worn. You need to jack the car up and get in there with a tyre lever or something like that to look for any excess movement.

On the R31's the steering rack mounting bushes go on them causing a similar thing to this.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
