G'day All

Today i took my car for a drive to get some lunch and when i pulled up at the traffic lights i noticed that the car had started to vibrate pretty seriously, the funny thing is it's only when the car is stationary and in drive gear, all other gears are sweet and the car drives well, changes gear well and comes on boost like it should, i checked all the oils when i got home, engine and gearbox where both at a good level.

Its got me stuffed, if anyone else experienced this please let me know what the problem was, i am taking it to my mates workshop on Saturday to put it up on the hoist and have a better look around but i want to know what to look at first, i don't know if it matters but the car is now a weekend driver since i brought a new car for my business daily driving duties before that the stag was being driven seven days a week.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Eddie.

yes vibrating is only when the car is in drive and stationary if you put the car into neutral the vibration stops...the vibration is enough to shake the mirrors when it's happening, i am going to check the gearbox and engine mounts too when its up on the hoist but it has to wait until tuesday next week, i have just got booked out with work for my entire weekend..... :(:)

Adam you where right, it was a vacuum leak on the intake, we checked all the mounts, plugged in the diagnostic computer and then done a smoke test to reveal the cracked vacume line. should all be good to go by the weekend as part is a couple of days away

Cheers everyone.

back to the top guys, the problem remains after replacing the vacuum hose and has gotten a bit more bizarre, the vibration is now in reverse gear as much as it is in drive and i also have the vibration at low rpm when locking my steering wheel in either direction, i am now thinking it is either the transmission, drive shafts or something to do with my idle speed perhaps ? where all scratching our heads now, please have another think of what the hell this could be before this car makes me rip my hair out.

Cheers

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
