[michael_r33]

We may have the same problem though my car vibrates when i brake in speeds in excess of 70 kmh.

I have been told by many to get my discs machined.

Makes sense as this is the common cure for this problem,

Hope this helps.

got any flat spots on your tyres? had a wheel alignment lately?

just a couple of options! plsu most cars vibrate, but you will always notice it more when holding onto the body of the car e.g handbrake lever

im not sure wat it is, i been told 2 check the gear box fluid levels but it seems that we cant find it. would any 1 know were it is? ive looked every were. i know it wouldnt b the brakes coz it only happens wen im accelerating on jus idleing along, and between 3rd gear and 4th it grinds.

there is a filler on the side of the gear box, just fill it up til it comes out that hole! then move onto the next thing til you find it!

out of curiosity, does it do it at idle?

[michael_r33]

it does vibrate in idle but only wen im driving,

only when driving ey......go for a lazer wheel alighnment.

then again if ur feeling it more thru ur handbrake than the steering wheel....could be something else. have u serviced it yet?

HICAS problems.. buggered steering or handling components?

Even just a wheel alignment as people say.

Can be lots of things.

ngk  bcp6es-11

er..... those plugs are for an RB30..... you might want to try using the right plugs

I don't know what year your car is, check the list

here to find the right plugs, then go and smack the person that sold you the ones that you currently have.
