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.

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!

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
