are you confident the wheels were balanced properly? hub location is not often a problem, the wheel studs, especically when the wheel nut holes have a taper, generally pull it into the correct position

Hey guys,<br />Anyone know where I can buy hubcentric rings from.<br /><br />Bought new after market wheels and the steering wheel is shaking over 90kms <br /><br />Preferably a Shop around the sydney southwest<br /><br />Thanks

What part of Sydney are you in?

Wheel balancing is a major issue........ MOST PLACES DON'T DO IT PROPERLY!!!

If you are near or are will to travel to Rydalmere I can help you with someone who does it properly.

Bob.

Tempe

Ok....... I now know your issue. I had no joy with retailers around your suburb.

Ring Peter at Road and Race http://www.roadandraceperformance.com.au/

He is the best wheel balancer I've come across in 30 years.

Tell him Bob with the GT-R sent you.

Guaranteed you will be happy.

Thanks guys much appreciate your help.

I ordered some rings online, once recieved ill try them on if still not good then ill give Peter a visit.

The wheels I purchased are work xd9 18x10+18 all round. But I wasn't happy with the fitment. They don't sit flush.

So I ordered 15mm bolt on spacers from gktech. Can't wait post-110131-13666163477481_thumb.jpg

Lol Tempe, there's your problem.

Thanks Terry for the recommendation. I've been looking for a place for a while now where they actually do the job properly. Sick and tired of wasting money on people who can't align or balance properly.

    • 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.
