Car is a S2 R33 GTS-T

Completely standard except for pod filter.

Problem:

Cruising at 80km p/hr in 5th gear there is a slight vibration going through the car and felt through the seat (not steering).

If i go to 90+km it lessens but is still very slightly there. Go to 100+km and i cant really tell to be honest, so its very minimal.

What ive tried:

To rule out speed i did 80km in 4th (and in neutral and with just clutch in) and problem is not evident.

To rule out revs i mimic the same revs in every gear and problem is not evident.

Spark plugs have been changed to Iridium and Coil Packs changed.

Tried disconnecting battery and discharging thinking maybe the computer needed a reset.

Clutch has already been changed by GZM in Thomastown. (although the vibration was still there beforehands)

Gearbox oil was changed when i first got the car (but i doubt this is the prob)

Airflow meter has been cleaned.

Side note: When cleaning the afm i took off the tps from the top and bottom screw to inspect, but i replaced in exact same position. Just incase i was a mm off i have tried over the last few days going 1mm left or right but it has not made a difference.

4ws has already been done by Centreline. (Although it cant be this coz if i go in Neutral at 80km there is no vibration.

Not sure if this is related, but when cold and i first startup the revs are a lil hesitant but if u tap the accelerator then it goes up as per cold start, and comes down as it warms up. ...so I believe the IAC needs a clean.

It is almost asif the engine retards a lil only in gear (5th) whilst cruising at 80km.

Apart from that:

It idles smoothly

It cruises smoothly

Boosts smoothly and holds

Accelerates very well and goes to top speed 180km+ quickly. I know this coz i tested it on private property :D

No temp problems

No oil pressure problems

What should i be looking at next? :)

don't think it's going to be related to the engine running rough. it could possibly be an engine mount or a gearbox mount of something like that. the harmonics from the engine at that certain speed is what is causing it and that is why it won't do it at lower speed or different revs in a higher gear.

might be worth getting your wheels balanced to see if that helps.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
