if its shaky den it's wheel balance..

I had the exact same problem, took it in for a wheel balance (obvious solution)

When they jacked it up at the shop i had a look and the dick before me had put spacers in (to push the rims out), which was the cause of my tyre hitting the wheel guard at every little bump, but when i took the spacer off i noticed there was no hub locater. The lack of a hub locater meant that the rim had play between it and the hub. Machined up two of these little bad boys and problem fixed =no shake

This will only be a prob (i think) if you have aftermarket rims and if the guy that had the car before you was a dick, or the dodgey dealer you bought your car from was also a dick (had these problems)

Cheers

Or it could be as simple as a wheel balance -- easier fix too

Wheel alignment will fix how the car travels down the road. If you take your hands off the wheel and the car continues to track straight then the wheels are aligned.

If there are vibrations, then it is probably (with exceptions like mentioned above) going to be wheels out of balance. Most balancing centres can only balance 16-17" rims. I tried to have some 18"s balance and had to have them driven across town to find a big enough balancer. Without casting dispersions upon the guys that did the balance, they may have taken a short cut with your balance if they didn't have the right equipment.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
