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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
