I bought my V35 3 months ago and I haven't really try out the speed.

I tried to step down the peddal but when is starts to reach 130km + the steering starts to "vibrate" or shakes and I am afraid to speed up further and it does not goes straight.

is it because of wheel alignment?

I had the same problem actually. Completed allignment and it was still doing it.. Found out that one of the rims was buckled ( inner part of the wheel was buckled due to previous owner hit sumthn real hard like a big pot hole or wateva ) replaced wheel and it was fine..

alignment has nothing to do with shakes.. u needa balance one of ur weights might have fallen off or are not accurate i doubt your rim is buckled you would probaly know if thats the case.

130+kz on a track right? haha.

probaly cost you like $15bucks to fix.

yeah most likely requires a wheel alignment

*facepalm*

if one more person says wheel alignment im guna go nuts.

alignment has NOTHING to do with shaking its a balance. alignment will just make the car pull left/right or whatever.

if im wrong feel free to flame me.. but i doubt it.

could be wheel balance, could just be shitty tyres, could be a damaged rim, and if it stops doing it the moment you lift off then it is an engine mount

investigate this second.. happened to my dad back when he had his prelude, got wheels balanced (even an alignment as well lol, but it was tracking a bit side to side) and it still did it. brand new yoko tyres and the problem disappeared

actually when I bought the car, I had MTA checked the car and they suggest wheel alignment as the car was pulling to right slightly. as with the wheels they did have some scratches and I don't think they are bent. anyway lets do both balance and alignment.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
