Turbo

I have recently bought a tiptronic RS200 Altezza.

When I accelerate through the rev range I get a very strong/buzzing vibration thru the accelerator pedal at about 3000 revs.

It disappears when I accelerate further, but does make driving the car somewhat uncomfortable at around the 3000 rev range.

Has anyone heard of this problem before, and if so, is it serious enough to warrant me taking my car in for a check, or could it be part of the VVti system???

Thanks

seems everyone got this buzz noise~~ so this is 3SGE~

I dont like that noise~~~

Hi Turbo, welcome in.

Where abouts are you living? Do you want to have a look at Gav's Qualitat here in Auckland? His is in the first photos of the gallery.

Hi greeneyes I am in Auckland. I had look at his qualitat, my one looks same. But my engine is 3S-GE which is different from his one.

Hey Turbo welcome to your site...if you ever need any parts for your car please feel free to let me know, I have been in the Is / Altezza community for years and I can help you out to sourse the right part for the right price, right now we need to know if you have got a 3S-GE or 1G-FE, from the sound of it since you said air box I believe it is a 3S-GE 4 cylinder one like Jeff A's one...Gavin got the 6 Cylinder...welcome and enjoy our site!!!

Hi greeneyes and Lsportsline.

I really like to join you guys.

I have a 3S-GE, 4 cylinder not really as same as Gav's. But the body's same.

I want to mod the air intake. But I got stuck on the ari flow sensor. I know I can buy a nice brand of whole suction kit and S-AFC. But it seems to dear for me. I just want to buy a nice pod filter and my buget is around 4-500NZD.

I dont know where to start......

some of my friend told me that I can go to pitstop to buy a pipe to fit the pod filter and make a hole on it to fit the airflow sensors. But this is my baby I want to give it the best I can get. So I am not sure if this idea is perfect.

Did you mod your ones? please I need some advices......

poor me..... :(

I just found a nice brand for the springs. I' d like to share with you all. The brand is "kgmm" I bought a set for 560NZD, and lowerd rate are frond 35mm rear 30mm. the kg/m is 8.2 in front and 7.8 at rear. I havent got it yet so I dont know how is the feeling to drive above thoese springs. But compare with other brand from the data. it is better. :)

Hi all ,I am new here.But I love altezza for nearly 3 years. I really like being a friend of yours.

I just got my one for a month. ;) My one is a 1999 QUALITAT 6 spd Mt. I really want to change the air intake (air filter). But I found the air flow sensor is in the stock air box. So I need some help like how to modify it? Do I need to buy just a pod filter or full kit? which brand airfilter or intake kit is better?

Are there anyone have pics with modified air intake system? Please let me have a look.

Thanks~~a~~~lot~~~~

cheers

can I have one?
