100Kph Shuddering Like Im Getting Continuously Rearended =O

Guys, I just registered as Stagea info is few and far between on the net compared to Skyline. Forgive me if this issue has been raised in another thread, but I got to like page9 and thought blahblah.gif

Here is my issue and it is a technical/mechanical one. Purchased my first Stagea, 4wd light was on solid. Began maintenance by topping up Attessa reservoir(righthand side of the boot). 4WD light went off. Driving specifically between 85-115kph, I would estimate, I have a shuddering or 'pulsing' sensation coming from what I believe to be the rear axle of the car. Like additional torque is being applied to the rear driveshafts momentarily in an on/off fashion. I would say that it is not a reducing speed sensation, as in abs acting on the rear wheels for some even more bizarre reason, especially as it only happens at a neutral or light load throttle position and the sensation is destinctly coming from the rear end. I have bled the attessa pump as per the instructions for a skyline except I couldnt find the plug to disconnect in teh drivers foot well like skylines are supposed to have. So we used a vacuum bleeder and me inside the car turning the ignition on and off to get pressure from the pump. Im will attempt to re-bleed tomorrow. We did loosen the nipple on the pump itself and had some drips to indicate no air but not entirely sure as it was the first time attempting to bleed an attessa system. Really hope someone can help. Any and all advice welcome smokin.gif

+1 for mismatched tyres, mine did that when I had two tyres the same size but different brands on the back so it is extremely sensitive, the pulsing is the attessa trying to correct for the wheels spinning at different speeds

The pump can be switched by undoing the plug which is to be found behind the drivers kick panel. It is a small plug in my case taped to another loom. However turning the engine on and off probably works just as well for your puposes. Tyre sizes are critical. In NZ it is anyway illegal to have different tyres on the same axle.

Hey, no tires are all the same all round. Nissans usually use an equal width tire allround by design. Im going to try the on-off ignition method again tomorrow for longer. Going to look for a drivetrain expert in my area who may have a gem of wisdom about this.

I have recently had a similar issue after putting a new wheel and tyre package on 19"s all round turns out the front tyres are the issue. My problem was mostly vibration in the steering wheel at around 90 - 120km. Cheap ass china tyres... Will be getting some Federal tyres on Monday.

Are all tire pressures equal ? All worn the same depth ?

Did any wheels lose any weights ?

Do you have a torque split gauge ? What does it do during 85-115km/h ?

Any crap on the wheel speed sensors ?

How low was the fluid before topping up ?

I have this same problem. Im pretty sure its the tyres too. I just put newies on the front and kept old no name shit on the rear to wear out. My left is more worn (i like to stick the ass out on the left :)) and yer the shuddering is really starting to piss me off. I will get new tyres and see if it fixes it and let you know?

Can anyone confirm that it's the tyres?

Cause i just started having this problem since Sunday and it's driving me nuts!

Attessa reserivoir is full, got all exactly same tyres. I've changed nothing to the car and it suddenly started doing it....

I noticed that my speed seem to drop a bit faster than usual when I'm just coasting in gear at higher speeds, and recently sometimes i can smell something burning after turning off the car...

If you have a spare set of wheels for me to try it out that would be great!

Won't have time until early next week though. :-/

But it doesn't make sense if it's the tyres, since they were perfectly fine...

All good, I rushed to the mechanic the next morning.

While on the hoist, the wheel couldn't barely be moved only just wiggle a bit.

Disassembled the brakes and it decided to work fine again.... but there's still a very slight hesitation on the wheels.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
