All,

I have a R32 (with engine dramas but thats besides the point). I have had new wheels and tyres fitted and balanced and an allignment done, but I am still getting bad vibration through the steering at about 60 and above. The tyre place thinks it is either a hub or drive shaft issue. Can anyone suggest what is happening here? Anyone seen this before on any other R32s? Its a GTR btw.

hey

i had the same thing and i found my tyre had a massive bubble on the tread, wasnt noticable till you took it off and looked down the tread pattern, apparently caused by when the tyre is low on air and you hit a bump it can fracture the radials and move them or something. maybe have a very close inspection before you go buy drive shafts ect

i dont know much bout gtr's and there drive shaft life spand so just try look into everything before you go spending alot of money

hope you get it sorted its frustrating i know !!!!!!

Check your tyres aren't 'out of round'. That just happened to me. Jack up each corner, and spin the wheel with your hand. If you can see the leading edge of any of the tyres wobbling in and out compared to where was before you span it, then you've got out of round tyres.

    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.
