I haven't had this issue with the 34 yet but with the 31 there are bushes that hold the rack in place on either end of it and they fell apart.

Could it also be the ball joints on the end of your tie rods perhaps? You can check that yourself fairly easily.

In the 31 I had to undo the engine mounts and jack the engine up to get the bushes out. It was like a new car once I had done it though.

thanks for the replies so far guys

i got a 28 point safety check from pedders and the guy said my front end was the tightest he has seen on a skyline - so what else could be casuing this?

I think it is the cause of my tramlining as the steering has the slop so can follow grooves etc as it wants to.

the mechanic reckons that my rack needs rebuilding. we had it on the hoist and you could hang onto the wheels and turn them both in and out toward each other. make sense? i think its called toe in. worn bushes maybe? i haven't looked any further into it yet. i would love to know how much its gonna set me back. maybe the same problem your having

Replace your steering rack bushes with superpro urethane.Should tighten up the rack without undue road noise.Also upper outer bush with adjustment for negative camber from Noltec.Do these before worrying about springs and shocksand front end will feel much better.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
