Hi all,

Dont know if anyone else has experienced this but I get a pretty bad vibration off the line under full acceleration, does not go away when 2nd comes in. This does not happen all the time. I noticed it was workse when someone is sitting in the back. Does the Stagea had a rear LSD?

Next one. Sometime when turning the wheels with at a standstill or going forward very slowly whilst turning I get a vibration. Just wondering if these two problems are interlinked????

Thanks in advance.

Ken

Hi Ken, I get the vibration when reversing slowly at full lock. I have checked the CV's and they are good. I will be changing the radius rod bushes shortly for more caster. They appear to be a bit worn (soft) so they maybe the problem. I also get a bad (harsh) vibration at 160 kph, I will get the wheel balance checked, but it feels more tailshafty. I don't have any vibration in first or second. :rofl:

I get same vibration forward or reverse, but not at full lock, and not every time. I had a similar vibration (acceleration) on my gtr race car, it was a centre bearing drama. The tail shaft should not affect my turning vibration should it? I was thinking lsd clutch plate prob, maybe transfer prob - I really dont know. Out of ideas. Let me know how you go though.

Cheers,

Ken

I too have a slight vibration when turning slowly. But i thought it was normal as when I push the snow button I got the vibration still but a little worse so I thought it must be the ALTESSA system thinking that one wheel was turning faster, whcih it does when turning. I think it is normal, but I will stand corrected.

Cheers ICE

I was getting vibration coming out of my Cam gear cover for a few days, but then it went away. i was worried my belt was about to snap

I'm getting my timing belt replaced tomorrow anyways, so hopefully that will solve that mystery.

Vibration under hard (not very hard) braking, no real suprise there but, anything that small trying to stop 1800kg of wagon is going to wanna argue. Rear brake pads worn out in 12 months, so I've machined rotors, put a set of R31 rear pads in at a 3rd of the price for the genuine ones and seems to be gone for now.

Yeah i get that bad vibration under braking too. figure i'll upgrade the brakes to a decent set of brembo's in the near future.

I'm not sure if it's just the ABS stuffing up or that the stock brakes are just crap

I changed the front shocks on the weekend and I noticed, when I have one front wheel off the ground, I can't rotate it. It is pretty tight as I can undo the wheel nuts (tyre service 120 ft lbs to undo them). If I leave it for a while, a few hours, I can then turn it. I assume this is the ATTESSA residual hydraulic pressure, this happen in the GTR's. Since I have the Stagea in Park, the tranmission is locked so the one wheel can't rotate independantly.

Keeping this in mind, the vibration when reversing is an indicator that the Stagea may have some form of LSD in the front. Anyone seen that mentioned in the specs? :P

I have a gtr cut coming in my next container. SK, do you know if the Staj/GTR tailshaft is the same length?? Another things that happens is if I give it a stab and then back off quickly the diff seems to lock and unlock rapidly -anyone else?

My understanding is that the front half of the tailshaft is the same, but the rear is longer:cheers:

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
