i have an R32 gtr...pretty stock, trust front pipes, hks exhaust and 17X9 work cr emothions

i have noticed that when my car hits around 110-120km an hour the steering wheel wobbles around heaps its really shitting me, i have had my wheels balanced and aligned......what else can it be? could it possibly be the front drive shafts? i have noticed when i am in reverse it feels like there is a little slack some where from when i put my foot down and i hear a little clunk, as in there is like movement in a uni joint or some thing......then it moves....

also some times ill hammer round a corner the back will slide out, front wheels come in and then when i begin to drive normal again the 4wd light will come on and stay on and the Torque split guage will sit on 10%..........then i turn the car off on agin and its gone and may not do it agin for a week or more........???

thanks

Tried getting your wheels balanced by another place? if you still have steering wheel shake after having the alignment/balance you should be able to take it back and ask them these questions.... they are teh experts :)

Dont see how it could be your front drive shaft - it shouldn't be moving if your cruising on 110-120, there should be no front drive.

Check your attesa fluid - should be a plastic cup filler in the boot for it. Maybe its low...

weird

Well with the speedo wobbles, thats usually just your speedo unit (may have been tampered with? thats why its not smooth).

Steering wheel shakes, i would suggest you either have a problem with your wheels or tyres? Get another balance/alignment done.

just pulled a front wheel off checked the offset, i konw gtr's are ment to have +40 my cr emotions are +17 could that be the problem, also there is a little bit of movement with my front drive shafts, and the actual disk rotor???

i had the same problem. a wheel balance didnt help. i was told that the front rims are buckled and needs re-rolling. apparently the previous owner must of went over a gutter pretty hard. this may set you back about $150 per wheel to fix. depends though..

at first i thaught that too but.....when i had the wheels balanced we could see that all the rims were True

so that eliminates that

what bout the offset? its +17 should that make a difference to drivability

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
