Hey guys

Got a weird problem with my m35 250rx. I.ve recently replace a seal in the outer housing unit in the rear transfer unit as it was leaking. Ever since it came back from the mechanic, the car had a weird roughy ride after 60km and become very noticable traveling more than 100km where the the steering had a slight vibration and very noticeable noise. I've since taken the car back but they can't seem to find the problem. We had rebalanced the tyres, swap with the back to front. Done alignment twice at two different places. I had since taken the car to another mechanic and he checked the front assembly and they said there is nothing wrong.

Lately I've notice that the front left brake makes an annoying click/rubbing noise when braking close to a stop. When going downhill braking the car wobbles under brake but I am not sure if this is related.

I was told that tyres could be the problem but both workshop says the tyres are good. They check bearing and it's okay. One of the bushing in the front left lower connected appears to be on it's way out so I am not sure what to do. Any suggestion?

Rear shaft out of balanced?

I bet they didn't mark the position of the tailshaft, diff and gearbox flanges when they removed the tailshaft.

I realise it shouldn't make any difference; but sometimes it does.

The wobble in the brakes will be a front rotor with uneven pad material buildup. It feels like a "warped" rotor but it is actually different areas of the rotor having different amounts of friction. Machine the rotors, and it will disappear.

Disc rotors almost never actually warp; it's a dodgy diagnosis if someone say it.

Generally a worn wheel bearing will cause the brake problem.

There will be a rusty mark where the flanges meet, so if that lines up you can only have it one of two ways. (front half anyway)

I have tried mine in different positions with no vibration, perhaps my tailshaft is well balanced?

The wheel bearings just make a grinding noise, usually it gets worse as you go around corners.

Vibration could be uneven tyre size causing the attessa to play up but if it only happened after taking the tailshaft out, perhaps they dropped it? Where are you located? I have a complete tailshaft here, you could try swapping it over if you are local.

The brakes just need machining, $25 a disk I think if you remove them.

Hey mate..

Did you get this sorted?

I'm having similar issues. From about 60kms to 70kms, there is a noticeable vibration, particularly within the cabin as the centre console starts to rattle. After 70kms it disappears. The steering doesn't vibration though, making me think it may be the transmission.

All 4 tyres were changed just under 2 months ago along with a wheel alignment. Brakes calipers and disc are brand new too.

Anyone have other ideas?

Cheers...

If the steering wheel doesn't wobble, good chance a rear wheel is causing the vibration. Did they mention a wheel had a buckle?

The centre tailshaft bearing could cause similar symptoms if it were flogged. You need to get underneath while it's on the hoist at 70. ;)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
