Vibration at certain speeds

Hey guys, my 07 coupe manual has a vibration that occurs at 60km/h and then disappears but at about 90km/h it comes back with a vengeance and doesnt go away and just gets worse the faster you go. Nothing is shaking but a pretty solid vibration that is hard to ignore. It's got fairly new Pirelli P zeros and i've had the wheels balanced at Bob jane. I took it back after that didnt fix it and they they thought it was hub spacers/rings missing but that didnt fix it either. Anyone had anything similar? I'm guessing its driveshaft related as it feels like the rears are where the problem is. Any help or a place to take it to that knows what they are doing in Brissy area. Cheers guys

 These symptoms could also be caused by any one of these:

warped rotors, bad shock, bad bushes, an alignment issue, bad body mount, trans or axle mount or even too much play in the drive shaft or diff..

I know when it happen to me, it started only when driving but it took a while then it started to get worse when braking..

For me it was just warped rotors in the end..

Could be the bearing on the hub that is becoming more prominent with increased speed.

You say you feel like it's coming from the rear.

Any noise? Feels like it's on one side or both? 

Are you able to jack it up?

It feels like both sides. There's no additional noise as the exhaust is very loud anyway, but it gets pretty bad over 120km/h as in cant see out of the rear view mirror. How do i go about checking the bearings?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      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.

      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.
