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.

    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
