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?

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
