So on the weekend I put different front coilovers in my gtst and now the steering wheel is shaking like crazy at about 120. I don't know if maybe a wheel weight has come off and its just a coincidence that it did it after i swapped struts. Besides an inbalance or a bent rim what could cause this? Could it have anything at all to do with the different coilovers?

Cheers!

Damper adjustable? What settings are you using? Try upping the hardness if it's at full soft.

Wheel shake could also be bad tyres (I had that issue a while ago). Also have a look at your steering rack mounts and bushes.

Yeah damper adjustable and I've got them reasonably firm at the moment. But my front tyres are really bald on the inner edges. Getting a balance today to see if it improves anything. Cheers. Wheel alignment shouldn't really cause shaking though I don't think.

mine would shake on the freeway around 110...turns out it was toeing out, on one side more than the other...not sure why, just wear and tear on bushes I suspect.. Probably caused by 200,000kms of my aggressive turning to the left or something I dunno..lol

...once aligned it was fine, even with the crappy tyres..

If you have issues best thing is usually take it to a alignment shop..I mean we can all sit here and play guessing games or you can just go spend 50$ and find out the problem and hopefully have it rectified,,,

Iv'e had this same issue with the same car since I bought the car.

I've changed radius rod bushes. Got new tyres. Balanced them. Twice. Dad 3x Front and Back Wheel alignments. Still have the problem.

I'm thinking its the aluminium spacers on the wheels. They just fit looselely over the studs and move around until you bolt the wheel in place. Obviously causing balance issues.

I need to find a way to stick spacers perfectly to the back of the wheel instead of the hubs.

OR better, does anyone know of any spacers that fit Perfectly centre on the stock GTS-t hubs?

isnt this why you buy hub centric spacers :blink:

Yea I guess so but I've only recently turned my attention to this and I'm new to it all. I took it to a wheel shop about the problem. Got them to fit another set of my own supplied control arms and hubs and they said they'll fit hubcentreic spacers on it but when I got the car home it was just loose aluminium plates with universal holes to fit the studs on them.

I only need about 10mm extra clearance on top of stock hubs so the rim spokes dont hit the brakes.

These look huge.

Got a balance and all good ! Thanks for the help lads

Got to hear. Damn your luck :)

Should have taken it back to them and ask wtf is this slip on crap.

GKTech have wheels spacers as well ;)

Man I don't mind slip on if its hub centric and properly symmetrical. My impression was this is what they will fit.

Thanks for pointing me to Gktech!

I found these

That's all I friggin need :D Don't need the ones with the studs.

Ordering on Monday. Though I don't know what exactly "on back order" means in terms of how long till I get them

Maybe I should just go for the 15mm ones in stock and hope I don't need to flare the guards. I'll have a wider track. :cheers:

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
