hey hey,

i recently installed a nismo twin plate clutch into my 33gtr - i also changed all fluids in diffs, transfer, transmission and attessa fluid. the clutch kit came with the clutch, lightened flywheel, release bearing and some other things.

since it has been changed i have noticed a small viabration - most noticeable when doing speeds over 100.

there are also a couple of other symptoms

- when i turn the car off, every time or second time the car will viabrate as the engine stops

- the rear vision mirror viabrates alot when on the freeway, usually to the extent that i cant make out the car behind me in the mirror

- when the rear vision mirror is viabrating, and i push the clutch pedal in for about 5 seconds, the viabration stops

- i can feel a viabration in the car through my seat - probobly not noticable to others but i know the car

i have a thought that it is a balancing problem, which isnt noticeable unless the drivtrain is operating at a high rotationary speed (i.e. over 100) - but not really sure as i thought the nismo gear would have come balanced??

can someone shed some light on this issue? ive asked the mechanics theyre not 2 sure what it is so thought i would give them some ideas when i take the car back to them

thanks

i have the exact same problem on my car right after i got my clutch installed (apart from the vibration going away after 5seconds clutch press,will try tomorrow)

Mechanic blames suspension, suspension shop blames mechanic....

Does the vibration go away after 120km/h?

I've had this problem for the last 6months...

Deciding to change the shocks/springs and see if it fixes the problem.

My mechanic balanced the tailshaft which fixed the problem slightly.

Although it doesnt hurt to get a wheel balance/alignment done. Will set you back $100 and then you will know its not suspension related.

Keep us updated on the problem

hey mate, yeh we marked the tailshaft.

yeh its not a suspension/wheel related viabration - like i said i know the car and despite it having some of those this is definately a new one.

as for the 120kmh - it becomes more noticeable the faster you go.

by the way, if ur car got the problem right after you got the clutch installed then its clutch related. dont go piss your money in the wind on shocks and springs just because ur mechanics a lazy bastard and cant be bother checking the job.

thanks

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
