hey guys

well i've been driving the R33 for a week and a bit now and all seems pretty sweet. There are a few things though that I'm looking into. I'm experiencing a vibration at exactly 100km/h and above (worse at 100ks)

It feels like the shudder is coming through the pedals, however its more through the suspension and geometry of the car. Its not brake or steering shudder as I know what they feel like.

The suspension is VERY hard and i'll be replacing it with new coilovers shortly, however this sort of feels like its more in the pivoting sections of the suspension geometry, morel iek a tie rod or something?

Any ideas on where to look?

Thanks guys,

matt

good thinking, he said the wheels were done when i bought it but they came off a different car so I suspect they weren't properly done, i'll have a wheel alignment and balance done just in case. the one thing i have never expereinced is imbalanced wheels since i've always had mine done so that may be it.

ye wheel balance definately, best two on front. and if they are new wheels(new to you), then get the place to check they dont have any damage, sometime you can balance the wheel out perfectly but if the rim is buckled its still no use.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
