I get this when backing off the power, say, at 120 on a hill when it's under load. Sometimes on the level too. Is this something to be concerned about? Likely cause?

Much obliged a p u.

No idea (sorry to disappoint), but mine has started doing it too. Only when travelling at 110kph or more. If I sit on 100kph, I don't have the shudder.

No noise, sort of feels like the engine leans out. Very weird.

I am not 100% sure that it s transmission as it feels like it is coming from around the front axle... perhaps.

Anyone else have this or know about it?

Is your car still shuddering?

I had a wheel alignment when I got my LMX5's last month which did not help the situation.

I took it to Nissan who put their "magical" satchel in when they did a full service on the transmission, snappier gear change but no change to shuddering.

Nissan also did an ECU reset, again, no change to shuddering.

Frustrating!

Anyway, I had my exhaust & front pipe installed on Saturday and also changed the spark pugs.

The shudder seems to have gone completely, even when cruising at 130kph for half an hour!

Don't know which one fixed it (touch wood), but it has definately settled down (not to mention become MUCH more lively and quite a bit quicker :( ).

I guess I didn't touch enough wood (refrain from the "wood" jokes).

The shuddering is back again this morning but only for a short time.

....Frustrating as all hell.

Nobody seems to know what it is.

Will check tonight IF I get time & daylight (unlikely).

Quick question, if air was being pushed back into the turbo when lifting off the accelerator, would it make a noise or shudder?

(just a theory a friend of mine had).

Could b a number of things...have u checked engine mounts...worn or damaged mounts can cause the engine to move on acceleration or deceleration. Excess gear backlash (the amount of freeplay between the gear teath when engaged)...this can mean a worn box...same can happen for diffs.

though with such a new car...this shouldn't b the case...though its probs worth a check.

+1 for checking engine and gearbox mounts.

also the turbo will make a flutter sound and not shudder with that condition and wouldnt affect the entire car like that. BUT with the air surge, this may affect the AFM metering and might make the engine shudder if it gets more fuel that its supposed to. maybe check the factory BOV is working. block up the return pipe (with something you can again remove) and see if the prob is still there. but id be checking other things first.

Well here's one for you.....does your make a slipping/farting sound at maximum torque(3,500 to 4,000rpm's)?....I also get a slight vibration but it's only under maximum power from about 110km's onwards......sort of feels like the front wheels are trying to get tow out.

weird i know...never had that experience before in anything....lol.

P.S. and know I don't drink or smoke weed while driving!!!!!lol

Nope, no noise when it shudders. Just drops power/revs briefly.

Having said that, I have had a couple of instances under full boost where it would sound like I have a hole in the muffler.

As soon as I let up it goes away & doesn't come back if I get back on the power... weird huh? Would this be similar to what happens with yours?

+2 on engine mounts, not sure if it works with auto trans cars but with a manual you can check the flex by pulling the handbrake hard on, reving the engine and dipping the clutch to apply load to the motor while someone else (mechanic) observes how much the engine twists in the bay. Someone else here might be able to clear this one up.

re: turbo, If the BOV is blocked you'd notice it because you'd be getting the distinct flutter sound. I doubt this would affect the AFM enough to make the whole car shudder but it might increase the chance of the engine stalling at low RPM - my Stag used to stall after a small rev with the BOV blocked off but it never used to shudder.

new to the forum but mystag vibrates at around 4500-5500rpm i think it is the viscous fan if you watch it and rev the car you can see it it also goes away afther about 5500dont know if it is the same thing but worth a trywhen not moving you can bearly feel it in the car only when driving

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
