... V6 and I believe it is stock.

Thanks.

:spank: r34's have an inline six engine stock.

And yes, you could be damaging your engine by driving it with a heavy vibration.You most likely have a misfiring cylinder.

Replace the spark plugs, if that doesn't fix it, take it to a mechanic.

Thanks for actually helping and only mildly ridiculing me.

Clearly I haven't the slightest clue of what i'm talking about.

Didn't know that six cylinders could be configured in a straight line or V shape (duh).

End of story I took it to the a mechanic,

It had contaminted fuel. (Possibly because it was sitting there doing nothing for 6 months before I bought it).

And was misfiring.

They drained and replaced the fuel, replaced the fuel filter and also replaced the spark plugs.

Thanks.

Yeah thanks, the car is fine now.

It might just be in my head but i still feel there is a very slight vibration and a minor loss in performance (maybe 5 to 10%).

Although it's difficult to compare to what is was first like because I can't remember. heh.

Performance should be much better....

Does it sound like a subaru? if so you proberly still have a probelm.

I suggest creating a new post in the maintanence section next time to advoid the ridicule :P

Hey I'm having the same problem, especially when first starting the car, on full steering lock, and in reverse.

which mechanic did you take it to? (whereabouts are you located even?)

are the vibrations still there?

and how much did it cost you to get it fixed?

thanks mate.

I'm not very good at taking cars to bits; But i'd like to help by telling my experience.

I had an NA 34 and i had terrible problems with its "coil packs"

If:

*you're getting that little yellow "engine malfunction" indicator on the dash

and

* you have already but in 6 brand new spark plugs;

and you are still getting misfiring; it could be the coil packs.

Bad news: a pack of 6 Splitfires (best option) off ebay will set you back around 450 bucks.

Good news (sort of) i have my used (but still working) Nissan coil packs for my car which id sell individually if thats what you'd like.

Performance should be much better....

Well the performance is 40x better than when it had vibration but probably on par with just before the vibration started.

The car remains very quiet and is still running well.

Hi, I am in Melbourne,

Took it to Sabbadin Automotive,

I no longer have any vibrations,

Cost me $500.

I think they got some second hand coil packs for like $80 to save me some money.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
