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.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
