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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
