... V6 and I believe it is stock.

Thanks.

:spank: r34's have an inline six engine stock.

And yes, you could be damaging your engine by driving it with a heavy vibration.You most likely have a misfiring cylinder.

Replace the spark plugs, if that doesn't fix it, take it to a mechanic.

Thanks for actually helping and only mildly ridiculing me.

Clearly I haven't the slightest clue of what i'm talking about.

Didn't know that six cylinders could be configured in a straight line or V shape (duh).

End of story I took it to the a mechanic,

It had contaminted fuel. (Possibly because it was sitting there doing nothing for 6 months before I bought it).

And was misfiring.

They drained and replaced the fuel, replaced the fuel filter and also replaced the spark plugs.

Thanks.

Yeah thanks, the car is fine now.

It might just be in my head but i still feel there is a very slight vibration and a minor loss in performance (maybe 5 to 10%).

Although it's difficult to compare to what is was first like because I can't remember. heh.

Performance should be much better....

Does it sound like a subaru? if so you proberly still have a probelm.

I suggest creating a new post in the maintanence section next time to advoid the ridicule :P

Hey I'm having the same problem, especially when first starting the car, on full steering lock, and in reverse.

which mechanic did you take it to? (whereabouts are you located even?)

are the vibrations still there?

and how much did it cost you to get it fixed?

thanks mate.

I'm not very good at taking cars to bits; But i'd like to help by telling my experience.

I had an NA 34 and i had terrible problems with its "coil packs"

If:

*you're getting that little yellow "engine malfunction" indicator on the dash

and

* you have already but in 6 brand new spark plugs;

and you are still getting misfiring; it could be the coil packs.

Bad news: a pack of 6 Splitfires (best option) off ebay will set you back around 450 bucks.

Good news (sort of) i have my used (but still working) Nissan coil packs for my car which id sell individually if thats what you'd like.

Performance should be much better....

Well the performance is 40x better than when it had vibration but probably on par with just before the vibration started.

The car remains very quiet and is still running well.

Hi, I am in Melbourne,

Took it to Sabbadin Automotive,

I no longer have any vibrations,

Cost me $500.

I think they got some second hand coil packs for like $80 to save me some money.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
