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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
