Hey everyone, just kinda curious about something. For a long time now when im cruising at about 50 my stag kind of lumps along like the wheels are square or it's got a big cam or something, I've also got a massive constant shudder through the steering wheel that throws your hands off the steering wheel under braking but I think that's just warped discs. Could the lumping along be the brake discs too? Also anyone know the part number for hand brake shoes?

i'd start with the simple stuff like a wheel alignment and balance.

if that doesnt fix it, it sounds like a symptom of attessa issues - different diameter tyres front and rear? even worn tyres on the front or rear can throw it out and cause that constant driveline shudder as it swaps torque back and forth rapidly.

i have that same problem, i have diff size wheels, im running 225 45 17 on front and 235 45 17 rear, so my atessa keeps bumping up and down, so i just put it in RWD mode till i can be bothered fixing it, usually happens when im cruising at higher speeds where its more noticable around 140ish you feel it alot

Had a full front end rebuild, including wheel bearings, alignment and even a new hub and hub mount plate, new tyres all the same size(225/45r18, too small for speedo), they are balanced( Mayb not round), does it in rwd mode also.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
