But this is a problem that was there when the shockies went - so i thought get shockies, get alignment, get balance and it will solve the problem but it hasnt. So its not a new thing that has just happened recently since balance and alignment its been something thats been around for about 2 months :)

Ken,

It's pretty hard to phuck up a balance, even I can use a balancer machine:D

See'ya:burnout:

Actually on mags it's quite easy to stuff it up.

They could have put the weights on without cleaning and this causes em to fly off.

As most shops dont use knock on weights , then positioning on the inner rim is critical.

Would you like a small wager that I can change the problem by swapping fronts to rears ?

That's as long as Niz hasn't left any important details out?

Cheers

Ken

Details like that!

Has this been doing it for a while ?

Does the steering wheel shake side to side or up and down ?

Cheers

Ken,

My mates own a tyre place, shouldn't be that hard for anyone who knows what there doing.

Paul I used to OWN a tyre shop and it is easy to get wrong if you don't know what your doing.

I am sure if I drove the car I could tell you in 5 mins where to start looking.

If you owned an Escort , you would know how critical w/bal is.

side to side - which i guess is definately wheel related then. just pisses me off cos it is quite violent when you hit the 120km mark - which i shouldnt be doing but oh well im nauti - and thats kinda when u need everything to behave at those speeds :)

It's not brake shudder. Your car hasn't been in a crash before has it?

See'ya:burnout:

you wouldn't normally ( but who says Niz is normal ) go from 80 to 110 kmh with your foot on the brake.:)

Cheers

Yep , your learning . side to side is usually balance related , up and down is usually egged tyre/shockie related.

Cheers

    • I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.
    • Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
