R34 Gtr Shutter/vibration

[slo 10z]

Last Saturday while driving I heard a noise like something fell of my car .... Went back to investigate but didn't find anything laying on road so I continued on my way. Shortly after I give I a pedal and at around 80-100kph it started to vibrate so I backed off and it stopped. After pulling over and looking around the car I couldn't see anything to indicate why it would do this, so I continued on my way and got it back up to 100kph but this time no vibration??? So I thought good but then that evening it did it again and now this morning it done it again. Only happens at higher speeds and drives fine other than that .... I'm thinking wheel balance is needed and maybe a alignment. Any thoughts ?? Hoping it not serious :-/

Does it happen through the seat or the wheel? Wheel balance poss.

It's worthwhile checking the tailshaft by pushing it from underneath too. Uni joint?

[GTR-34A]

is it just vibrating through the steering wheel or is the car shuttering?

[slo 10z]

I felt it through the steering wheel... But I'm thinking it may be the car shuttering too as my wife felt it in the passenger seat too

At the risk of coming across like a grammar nazi, the correct word is "shuddering".

If it is wheel alignment/balance-related then the shuddering will occur over a certain speed all the time. It won't be intermittent. So my money is on a part breaking/coming loose.

Haha thanks for the grammar correction ras1983, so saying do you have any idea what part would be breaking/coming loose then ?

Check the steering rack mount bolts?

[ras1983]

Other than knowing how to change a tyre, knowing when steering balance/alignment needs to be redone, and checking the oil, I've got the mechanical knowledge of a chimp. So I've got no more valuable advice

buckled rim?

Take it to a suspension shop for an assessment.

take it to pedders, for the $29 safety check, just don't get them to fix the fault, take it somewhere more reputable
