... 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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
