i just got all my front end bushes replaced by fulcrum, when he handed me my keys he said that there was a vibration above 60km/h when your cruising along, he also said he thought it was my tyres or mayb my brake discs. i have swapped the brake discs with some other ones i had here and the vibration is still there and there is a very bad shudder when you touch the brakes above 80km/h. could it be my abs stuffing up??, or my power steering??

thanks for any info

Did this problem exist before the bushes were replaced? Is everything bolted up properly?

Doubt it would be the abs or power steering. To eliminate the abs you could pull the fuse and retry. Had the wheels balanced lately? Jack up the front and check for wheel bearing play.

Do you have access to a lathe where you could measure run out on the rotors? Stockers can easily get warped with hard use. Try cleaning up the pads and ensuring there is a chamfer on the leading edge.

i cant remember if it was there before the bushes, the wheel bearing was the original reason i put it in to fulcrum, they just found lots of bent things when they were looking so i got it all replaced. tyres were replaced and balanced 2 days before the front end got re done. there is a bit of movement in the steering rack though. i could probably spin the rotors at work.

actually i just thought something. when i first noticed the shudder it was while i was heavily braking from 180 to 40 to go around a corner, can the discs have warped that easily?? doesnt solve the constant vibration but would explain the braking part.

That sounds to me like it could well have been ABS, not sure about the rest of it

I was hoping it would be something simple. I think I might take my cracked discs in and get a price on some stronger replacements. Thanks every one :)

I would say check out your tie rod ends. If you've not replaced them recently, I can guarantee it would be them. Would explain the bit of play you say you have in the steering rack.

Quick question , slight vibration on down hill braking 70-100 ks also bit of pulsing on slower breaking up to a stop . Would this likely to be disk issues or wheel align tie rod ends or all the above ? Stegea 01 rs 4 turb

Just did a run up and down green hill rd with the fam , and the pulsing under brakes is very prominent now really not good , going in tomorrow to have a chat about getting it sorted anyone got a rough est on what I should b paying for machinig discs etc also would this possibly b a abs issue thanks for any feed back.

New disks required Aps, probably best to upgrade now to the r32gtr sumitomo's for the extra 10mm disk thickness, these barges are well under-braked and the disks pay the price.

What's the going rate for replacement discs comp to the upgrade , this car is not driven hard on a regular basis so I'm not sure if it's worth it . You guys are clearly experts on these cars what do you think , also 4wd light comes on intermittently , service due very soon hopefully get these issues sorted . .

If it's just a road car and not driven that hard, I'd look at either RDA or DBA rotors. I have DBA 4000 series and they're excellent, and DBA have just released a new T2 street series that might be worth getting a price on?

PM GSLRallysport, a forum trader, and Greg will help you out.

I had aps problem and replaced front discs and pads and that made it alot better. I can still feel a slight pulsing especially under light braking, does this mean the rears also need doing? Car has hicas if that makes a difference?

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
