Hi all......

Got a problem with my R33 Skyline in that as soon as I hit 110KPH the steering wheel starts to vibrate and gets worse the faster I go....

Could it be that I need Wheel Balancing/alignment (had this done awhile ago but didn't seem to make any difference) or could it be something else (suspension)...

thanks.....

After I had an wheel alignment done on my car it came back with a speed wobble at around 100k's found out the front wheel nuts were not done up properley. My mags need to be done up fairly tight or they get a slight wobble at around the 100k mark. also check to see if the weight havnt come off.

Wheel Balance an Allignment

Make sure the allignment is down somewhere where they know the specs on imports... I once went to TTF and they used R30 settings on my R32... I'm going like WTF you setting it too (cause I know where it's supposed to be) and he's like " This is my job and I know what I'm doing piss off.... went and complained to manager and he said they're experts....

Needless to say I refused to pay and drove to my mate a pedders first thing monday....

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
