Quick question: My steering wheel vibrates at 80km and by 120km its shaking hella bad - its had a wheel alignment done but its still like this and its really annoying! Anyone know whats causing it?

Wheel Balance or your nuts are loose.

Cheers

Ken

Thanks Ken will do. I prolly would have used the RAC if you hadn't said that...so good timing.

Cheers.

The RAC will spend more time doing the

* rip in seat , mark on rear squab , dirty hoodlining type report which any schmuck can see by using there eyes.

The important , check front end play , compression or leakage test, check syncros and oil cond test are bypassed cos they are baffled by the lack of V and too many camshafts.

Well then they must have got it wrong then.

Have you hit any kerbs or suddenly heard a loud bang not long after the wheels were balanced ?

cheers

    • Yep, the plan is to do some work in Japan, as I mentioned above possibly keeping it there longer than November 2025. Frankly, I'm not dealing with TopRank ever again and, because my car is no longer with them, I could work with BBL/GY directly👍 But alas, I'm not looking at major bodywork just yet.
    • Yeah I had the probes on the battery terminals.  Sounds good. What reading should I expect to see in a car that runs well? 
    • I went for the scissor lift option, gives a 3ft lift at full lift. I wanted a 2 post but my concrete wasn't deep enough to secure it properly
    • Depending on exactly where that voltage is being measured, that is most likely the battery is f**ked. If the multimeter probes are on the battery's own terminals, then it is f**ked. If they are on the car's terminals, then there is a bad connection. Either are fatal to the attempt to start it. Literally just put it on the 20VDC range, put one probe on the battery's -ve terminal (ideally not the car's terminal) and the other on the block somewhere exposed/metal, like an engine mount bolt head. You can also test the earth lead is steps, so from battery to body earth, body earth to engine connection point, engine connection point to some other spot on the engine, to see if you can isolate where a shit connection actually is.
    • I meant to write 50 originally and then double checked the price and found it was ¥12m (125k) and came to edit it and realized I had accidentally added and extra 0 in the first place lol
