Vibration at certain speeds

Hey guys, my 07 coupe manual has a vibration that occurs at 60km/h and then disappears but at about 90km/h it comes back with a vengeance and doesnt go away and just gets worse the faster you go. Nothing is shaking but a pretty solid vibration that is hard to ignore. It's got fairly new Pirelli P zeros and i've had the wheels balanced at Bob jane. I took it back after that didnt fix it and they they thought it was hub spacers/rings missing but that didnt fix it either. Anyone had anything similar? I'm guessing its driveshaft related as it feels like the rears are where the problem is. Any help or a place to take it to that knows what they are doing in Brissy area. Cheers guys

 These symptoms could also be caused by any one of these:

warped rotors, bad shock, bad bushes, an alignment issue, bad body mount, trans or axle mount or even too much play in the drive shaft or diff..

I know when it happen to me, it started only when driving but it took a while then it started to get worse when braking..

For me it was just warped rotors in the end..

Could be the bearing on the hub that is becoming more prominent with increased speed.

You say you feel like it's coming from the rear.

Any noise? Feels like it's on one side or both? 

Are you able to jack it up?

It feels like both sides. There's no additional noise as the exhaust is very loud anyway, but it gets pretty bad over 120km/h as in cant see out of the rear view mirror. How do i go about checking the bearings?

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
