man that sucks :P

im no help, i have no idea what it could be.

i guess i'll see how i go when i take my car in, i'll try fulcrum first.

I'll be having a hicas lockbar put on aswell, so i'll let you know how that goes.

Is your steering fairly neutral? i found while driving at about 100kms i can swing the wheel left and right a few centimeters with little to no feedback. and once i get to 110kms it starts getting a bit shakey

Maybe the car has hit a curb at some point and something got bent?

i have had every car ive owned do this, its normal (to a certain extent ofcourse)

dont quote me on this but i have heard time and time again it is purposely meant to drive left if u fall asleep behind the wheel so that you dont hit oncoming traffic on your right

kind of makes sense to me but knowing every car that i've owned slightly pulls to the left if i let go of the steering wheel hints to me that its a deliberate thing by design even tho all of them have been wheel aligned atleast once whilst in my possesion and all specs were what they are meant to be

i have been told that a adjustable caster rod setup can override this, thats as far as my knowledge goes with this matter

gl

funny you mention that, just noticed my driver side rear is slightly higher than the other side. i'll need to get that adjusted too. haha

Steering is perfect, no slack whatsoever, no vibration at any speed everything is 100% even just checked the ride height and all 4 are 380mm!

Hopefully someone can help?????

Mate I honestly feel your pain...... Until yesterday! Got a new set of tyres fitted and it drives dead straight! Check the condition of your tyres!! Mine had plenty of meat on them but the rubber was just really old! Side walls and everything were saggingy!

Having said that rather than spending 400 now on tyres borrow a mates set of tyres! And see if that helps, cause u don't wanna spend another 400 for nothing- ensure your tyres are correctly balanced!

new tyres helped me alot also. did the swap with the wheels from my old 33 to check first.

another thing i noticed last night... i have volk gtcs and the centrebore on the rim is larger than the hub.

I put some hubcentric rings over the hub to fit the wheel better. now my shakey/dodgey steering at 100km/h+ has gone away.

Still pulls a little to the left, but it doesnt seem quite as bad now.

What wheels are you running? another thing for you to look at maybe?

I'm starting to think it's the tyres too.

I'm running stock wheels with 225/45/17 tyres which are only 6months (11,000k's) old but they are crappy Achilles which I'm guessing were the cheapest the complier could find!

I just put around 275k's on the car this weekend and overall it is better. When I travel in the right hand lane on the M1 it will actually drift right but nowhere near as much as a left cambered road. Also the overall steering feel is alot more responsive than before. A bit unsetteling to begin with as the car was very responsive anyway but I'm used to it now.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
