Vibrations at 120km/h R33 GTR

Hello,

My car is suffering from vibrations lately at 120km/h, when i pass over this speed and go higher it vibrates less and at 200km/h i can feel no vibrations at all.

Thats really getting on my nerves because this car was running perfectly some time ago. 

I can fell the vibrations on entire car, the seat, the gearbox, its not on the stearing wheel from the tires, i have checked everything raleted to wheels including alignment.

My mechanic removed tailshaft lately and put it back again but i have checked second one and the problem is the same.

Is it possible to put the tailshaft incorrect way like 90 or 180 degrees? Is there any marks on the differential or gearbox how to screw the tailshaft or the position does not matter?

Regards

Anyway, vibration at speed (regardless of revs) is something between the gearbox and the road. Tyres are by far the most likely (I know you've said you've had them checked, but maybe see if you can borrow a different set of wheels/tyres and try again).

I bought a new tire set one month ago Goodyear Eagle F1 . and put new center rings. Problem with vibration is the same.

Checked two different main driveshafts, problem is the same nothing changes. I would feel different type of vibrations i guess on two different sets. But it vibrates exactly the same way on both at the same speeds. So this is not the driveshaft balance problem.

Checked the suspension on diagnostics and polly bushes. Checked engine and gearbox pillows, checked the axes and hub bearings.  Everything is stiff, cant find anything suspicious.

It vibrates the same way at 120km/h after changing the gear to neutral.

I noticed today on testing that i can hear a 1 second grinding when i turn the stearing wheel hard to the left. But this happenes only from stop position when i start driving with wheel turn to the left. When i accelerate  little bit and going straight the grinding is gone. I cant hear any grinding noise when turning the same way to the right side or turning left or right on reverse from stop position. 

Maybe front left driveshaft joint is failing.... Can this be related?

A bearing could possibly be on the way out causing an imbalance on the front or rear prop shaft.

Which bearing?

I have done some more tests today with sharp launching and quick braking. 

When i start driving streight and release my clutch fast i can hear one loud knock or the same thing happens under heavy load when boost kicking in. It looks like something is getting loose in my chassis or drivetrian. The same thing happens with hard braking hear this one knock. This is not like  squealing from bushings, thats totally different sound. Its just one loud heavy knock

Anybody has this problem bofore and what parts in the car can make such a nasty sound?

    • Yeah the Drift R wheels look awesome. They are pitted though, wonder if I can fix that somehow.
    • I picked up my diff today. Both their shop manager and machinist wanted to have a chat prior to me leaving. Conversation started with "Where did you buy these garbage parts? What's the name of the company?" They actually went on Speedtek's website during our conversation and made what I think is the best gear head joke I've ever heard after seeing they make straight cut gears. "They've probably only gotten away with selling straight cut gears as they'll make noise whether they're properly machined or not. People are none the wiser" The humor made the 2500$ in the hole I'm in after this whole experience a little better lol. They also pointed out that not only did they find identical issues on both ring and pinions that Speedtek had sent, but that by eye you can see the pinion teeth do not have the same profile from one end to the other.  They went on about this being the worst diff job they've ever done and how it was a colossal waist of time. Luckily after mentioning how I purchased another diff to learn how to assemble them, they were nice enough to give me a crash course on diff assembly on another diff they were currently doing. I like to tell myself they did this to be nice but deep down, I know it's to be extra certain they'll never see me there again lol.  Speedtek was pushing for a store credit but I'll never feel confident purchasing from them again due to their third world machining techniques and QC. I just asked for a full monetary refund.  I'll pop the diff back in this Friday and take it for a spin if the streets are clear of snow.
