Could be a stuffed wheel bearing. I'm in the process (quite literally as we speak) of replacing my front ones because of much the same problem.

Did you get the rear wheels alligned too? Remember these cars have four wheel steering...

ok i'll give it a try and keep you posted on results, got to find time...

Thanks for the help

spacers? not too sure, will find out, they are aftermarket wheels

They are new rims, will get back balanced too

Thanks

how long were the tyres unbalanced for?

if the tyres have been run unbalanced for a while they wear in a way that, when rebalanced, they unbalance themselves again

urgh and by unbalanced i meant out of alignment, shouldn't post when tired

I got new tyres yesterday, balanced and aligned, front and back.

after 1 day my steering tremors are back @80km/h, I'm going to change caster and sway bar bushings, cause mine are stuffed and get aligned again and see how that goes.

Take a look if your bushings need to be done.

that should only affect it when you put the brakes on. i had a magna that kept warping the front rotors every few months after getting them machined. they were really really bad. even at 60kmh by the time you had gotten down to 50kmh the vibration would be shocking and by the time you stopped it was ridiculously bad, but it never affected how the car drove when you weren't touching the brakes. ended up getting new rotors and it didn't warp them anymore.

I too am going for the bush route now because I've replaced wheel bearings and alligned/balanced everything so I can only put it down to the other weak link in steering gear; bushes. Either that or the mob who did my alligning/balancing did a shit job.

  • 2 weeks later...

I had to get mine balanced/aligned twice cos the first did indeed do a shit job, so don't take it back to the same place the 2nd time, likely they'll do a crap job still...

The only company that does good aligns seem to be Tyrepower and Beaurepairs from my experience.

I found out that my suspension is stuffed, crappy ones through pedders, new but now pretty much throw away, bad mistake, and all my bushes need changing. So off to fulcrum suspension, where I'll get some tein suspension, shocks etc; put in and replace the bushes with fulcrums polyutherine bushes.post-63012-1272202781_thumb.jpg

But now with the accident today, it's all been put on hold, man whats next.............

:P

Did the suspension contribute to not pulling up in time - out of interest?

Insurance job (even tho' it looks as if you'd be paying Excess)?

Hope the car is all good pretty soon!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
