Hey all, just got my Ceffy back after a 5 month downtime (thanks regency) and im having this problem...

Im not sure why its doing it, it never did it before. What basically happens, is if I turn to fast around a corner, and accelerate on the way out, the whole car begins to shake as it comes on boost... It also sometimes does it, if the wheels are spinning and the back end wants to come around.

It feels like the back wheels are bouncing on the road, but im pretty sure something might be wrong with the engine? Just had new spark plugs put in...

Ill that I changed suspension wise, was the stock A31 fronts... and the rears from an R32. Is there something that the 32 springs dont like about the car? Is it more of a temporary thing or can they actually stay in there with no problems?

Got some 205/60/15 on the rears, and 195/60/15 on the front. Might that have anything to do with it? They came off a mate of mines R31 Coupe...

Tailshaft had to replaced, so got my hands on a 32 one... and mixed them together. Could that be whats causing it?

Im absolutely clueless... thanks for your time. :(

Adam.

Also check if your tail shaft is up the right way, Sounds stupid i know unbolt it and rotate it 180 deg and see if that makes a difference. did with mine and a mates car when we didn't mark and put the tail shaft in the right way felt like you where on one of those massage beds on full noise.

Hmm.. might have to go down to the garage and see what they did...

My dad was behind me in his car today, and told me as I went around corners my rear wheels were coming about 100mm off the ground! :)

Probably your rear shocks then, did you say you are using R32 springs on your cefiro shocks, or R32 shocks/springs.

Either way what you have is not setup correctly.

r32 shocks and springs...

I borrowed them.. The standard cefiro ones I got from ebay, the shocks were stuffed. So it wouldnt of passed Regency. And I cant put my coilovers back in, because then I have to put the fronts back in, tokico and they are so extremely low. Need new front coilovers. :banana:

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
