I have a GTS-4 and i also had this prob but it was a fairly violent shake. This was because i needed two new rears and a mate fitted ones that were slightly smaller than the old ones. as soon as i hit about 3G+ the car would shake, because it thinks that the rears are spinning at different speed to front. i just drove around in RWD for a few weeks then threw the same tyres on the front and problem solved.

P.S. i have fitted a switch running from the 4WD/ABS fuse so that i can drive in RWD or 4WD wheather i need a quick launch or a little slide. I suggest gettin a switch hooked up. and its a piece of piss. :O

:D nicee! i should do that too! just a question. on the gtr the 4wd fuse is also the heater fuse. does it mean if i pull it out i wont get heater? good thing its summer! i might need to drive around in rwd too until i get new rears.

Just a bit of advice if anyone else has this problem, it turns out that it was just the uneven tyres at the front and rears. The problem is gone after i got new rims! So before you do all the other stuff, check to see if the tyre wear is even at the front and back.

Ok, now i have a bit more time,

We had to replace a broken CV boot on the right hand side, at the same time it was time for a little investigation into the problem, as soon as the CV was off the car the 2 guys in the workshop (Simon and Nathan) saw the problem.

There are 3 symetrical "dents" in the end of the CV housing from the roller part (sorry lack of technical speak) from where the two had clearly been bashing each other for a long time.

Also there was a lip formed at the other end that looked to be caused by the driveshaft grinding away at this point.

Nathan got rid of the lipped sections and put the front back together.

I took it for a drive to get it to shake, it will still shake a TINY bit but only after one of those huge speed humps where the car gets all 4 wheels on it (the type outside most schols). This is really no problem as you can simply wait for the rears to be back on the road and then accelerate. By doing this there is no shaking at all.

Hope this helps guys.

(total cost inc new genuine CV boot was only a few hundred - a small price to pay to solve this issue)

I had this problem, and asked my mechanic to look at this post. He found issues with the CVs as you described... problem is now resolved! Thanks very much!

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
    • Hi, i got 1998 r34 4 door auto abs model and its manual converted with bigbox when i bought it . I successfully find the neutral and reverse light wire but can’t find the speed signal wires for speedo drive. I know its grey plug but on my loom no grey plug with 2 wires . I opened the loom upto where it getting branch with other wire, i’m amazed they is no wire. So need help how to fix the speedometer problem.
