ok i went on a trip with some mates last weekend and we was staying at a house that had a gravel road to it...bumpy as and now my car has the shakes. its hard to describe the sound it makes but it only makes noise when i reach 20-30+kms, steering is not too bad but i know its not good ;)...any idea on what may have happened/happening???

Rapped bushes? Jack the front end up and move all the ball joints etc and see if you can notice anything that defently looks out of wack would be your best option - Almost impossiable to pin point something with the description given.

Just going to have to get underneath it and have a good look underneath.

My car does the same thing after going on dirt roads. I just clean the wheels out from all the dirt that builds up inside the rim which causes an imballance in the wheels give that a go

haha dont worry first thing i did when i got back to adelaide was gave the car a 6 minute pressure spray!!

My car goes up and down a dirt road daily....it's fine, other then not staying clean very long.

ahaha well this was weekend that the kadina show'n shine was on and it rained heaps so mud was everywhere b4 i washed back here...still has white along both sides of car, cbf cleaning the dust off... its had 2 washes and rain!!!!

Hrmm the dirt and small rocks must of rearrange your bearings around.. doesnt sound good, mayb just give it a clean out?

either that or just take the car to a reputable workshop and get them to check it out for ya mate

LOL Ive been super slack, the last time I washed my car was before I drove to Kadina lol. My Black Pearl Metallic R32 has splashes of Crystal White and Lightning Yellow on it :)

Maybe today is the day!

^^ haha it rains too often to bother cleaning it super, so meh... im meeting some guy on friday to see if he will swap his wrx sti for my 32 lol, hell probly say no :) but then i can start fixing the car up :D

but yeh im pretty sure its the ball joints now, i just gotta call nisswrek and get 2 more, then a mates gonna show me how to change it.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
