I bought my V35 3 months ago and I haven't really try out the speed.

I tried to step down the peddal but when is starts to reach 130km + the steering starts to "vibrate" or shakes and I am afraid to speed up further and it does not goes straight.

is it because of wheel alignment?

I had the same problem actually. Completed allignment and it was still doing it.. Found out that one of the rims was buckled ( inner part of the wheel was buckled due to previous owner hit sumthn real hard like a big pot hole or wateva ) replaced wheel and it was fine..

alignment has nothing to do with shakes.. u needa balance one of ur weights might have fallen off or are not accurate i doubt your rim is buckled you would probaly know if thats the case.

130+kz on a track right? haha.

probaly cost you like $15bucks to fix.

yeah most likely requires a wheel alignment

*facepalm*

if one more person says wheel alignment im guna go nuts.

alignment has NOTHING to do with shaking its a balance. alignment will just make the car pull left/right or whatever.

if im wrong feel free to flame me.. but i doubt it.

could be wheel balance, could just be shitty tyres, could be a damaged rim, and if it stops doing it the moment you lift off then it is an engine mount

investigate this second.. happened to my dad back when he had his prelude, got wheels balanced (even an alignment as well lol, but it was tracking a bit side to side) and it still did it. brand new yoko tyres and the problem disappeared

actually when I bought the car, I had MTA checked the car and they suggest wheel alignment as the car was pulling to right slightly. as with the wheels they did have some scratches and I don't think they are bent. anyway lets do both balance and alignment.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
