Engine Vibration Dangerous?

[skazn]

Hi,

I have a 1999 R34 Skyline, it is automatic V6 and I believe it is stock.

It currently has a lot of engine vibration,

Will it cause damage to continue driving it?

There is no real bad noises or smells or smoke.

Thanks.

... V6 and I believe it is stock.

Thanks.

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.

So the car is going OK now?

If you can only find 5 plug leads, join SAU and we'll find the 6th one for you.

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

Look for another one at a car yard and take that for a drive > comparison

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.

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.
