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:

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
