This is now becoming a real pain and i',m not enjoying driving the car!!!!!! So far this is what i've checked 1.All pistons in the calipers move freely. 2.Both front discs have been skimmed. 3.As they were skimmed no fault with wheel bearings. 4.Loosend the two bolts on the end of the tension rods while the car was jacked up, lowered it onto the ground then tightened them up again. 5.Both front wheels were balanced this morning. The car still vibrates through the steering wheel although not as bad now and only from about 60mph upwards....... Anyone got any other radical ideas or does anyone know of a good mechanic in the London area that could …

Trying to weigh up whether the cost saving of evo brembos is worth the hassle over the bolt on ease of the gtr jobbies... granted, krsmayo has done most of the leg work so it would be fairly straight forward but are there any gains or losses to be made either way?

That said, the evo brembos are HUGE! the gtr variants lo…

Hey all Im runnning the beast in and every time I take it out theres more squeeks. Ive tracked down a lot but any help on where to find any more would be gratly appreciated. Bonnett catch had play in it and was fixed by moving the catch down as far as I could and wrapping some tape around the hook on the bonnet. Bonnet hinge was chattering so I stuck a piece of rubber about a cm in size on top of the existing rubber and it has stopped this. Aircon matrix cable was rubbing on the back of the glovebox so just moved and taped up. Found two screws missing behing the das where there was butterfly screw holder thingy which were vibrating put sone screw…
