Guyz, (n Galz :) )

First of all, hi 2 eveyone...I'm new to this forum...hopefull with get a chance 2 meet u guys on one of the cruise...

I was wondering if any of you have had any problems with the car shaking at speeds of approximately 160 kms ? I took a car for a drive, and notice that at the speed the steering will and general frame shook quiet a bit.

It is possible that the rims may be bent in some way ( no, I havent run int into any innocent by-lying kerb... :lol: ) or when they change the tyres they didnt balance it probably. The car doesnt shake that much when its doing 100-120 ish, but any higher...and it become quite noticeable.

The rims are 17" and the car had been lowered in the front. ( oh..another possibility is dat the spring have been cut....hope not..:werd: )

Any experience with this prob would be helpful, and details of where/how I check if the rims been twisted. Thankz.

Thankz guys, will do. Just dat I had my tyres replace when I got it compliance. I thought that wheel alignment is 2 ensure that the car doesnt move to one side when u driving in a straight line...I sorta did a test on it ( ie driving in a straight line and seeing if it swerve to one side :) ). But I will get it rebalance to c if it will fix the problem. Anywayz, thankz 4 da inputs.

I think it'll be more a wheel alignement issue, but well give it a shot. is there any whining noise from the tyres??

well if its whining noise i reckon highly likely its a wheel alignment issue, are your tyres wearing out??

also is there any noise while steering??

Nope, no noise during steering. When compliancing the tyres were replaced, so brand new tyres. I'll book it in for some wheel alignment and balancing just 2 check anyway. I've check the thread wear, and it seems pretty even, but u never know.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
