Vibration At Speed

[QLDR31]

horrace What was the outcome of this?

I'm experiencing a similar problem in my stagea. I thought it was just warped discs and/or wheel bearings.

When im doing +100KM the bonnet starts bumping about. This is with the 4wd turned off (not sure about with 4wd on).

What do you mean 4wd turned off? If you have pulled the fuse and left the drive shaft in you will have a problem.

yeah i dont know what you mean by 4wd turned off, but once i had my shaft rebuilt it was sweet.

If you remove the front shaft and experience no vibration when you go for a drive, then the problem is the front shaft.

If it still vibrates the problem is elsewhere.

If it changes the vibration you have a problem front shaft and a problem elsewhere.....maybe.....

I replaced mine with a 2nd hand GTR shaft from SSS. $220

The GTR comes very close to the selector cable on the auto box. I had to fiddle to stop them rubbing but it hasn't rubbed since.

By turned off i ment the 4wd switch turned off.

Is that R33 GTR ?

Are they a bit thicker then Stagea items ?

4wd switch? which one? you mean the lock button in the cabin on the dash?

[KiwiRS4T]

If you mean the synchro button on the dash then when its off the Attesa (4wd) is operating normally i.e. 95% rear bias until rears start losing traction.

The synchro button just locks in 50/50 mode for take off ...reverts to computer control of all 4 when you get up to about 30k or so (can't remember the exact speed).

By turned off i ment the 4wd switch turned off.
