just installed it yesterday with a mate.>>>09/05/05
left battery disconnected for 30mins.
then reconnected and..
after zipping around Annandale without a front bar.
im gettin vibration in my ACCELERATOR PEDAL
still getting it atm. 10/05/05
so tell me ppls... wat the hell is it.... LOL
wtf?
i have had 2 js replicas on 2 different occasions and i had nothin like that!
shit man :(
i have no idea
hmm.. i'll chek the connections. mite be some leakage or something somewher.
LoL... about to drive off to work.
see how i go. hehe
so its vibration under full accleration? or cruising? or? :confused:
sounds like it is co-incidental (think its spelled right) that it is happening, there should be no reason why the whale penis intake should have that effect, it sounds as if the problem is elsewhere
it has more of a chance of being a result of his car being attacked by a couch the other day =P
your intake shouldnt be a problem.
make sure ur throttle cable isnt bent outta place... u might ahve knocked it while installing the intake

in reference to my "Attack of The Couch" gives me reason to search for a CF-Hoodie. LoL;)
but yeah vibrates after 3000-rpm
but other than vibration, its AWESOME! LOL!
i had the same problem on my dc2 vtir with a cheap 5" intake.
sounded really good but the vibration on the throttle pedal drove me insane. Hence why I removed it.
shit, my copy in cf is shit hot too.
oh well good luck man :thumbsup:
i have one too and my car vibrates as i drive...i think its normal...im not worries about it at all...probably meant to be like tat??? :)
problem is guys - that the big phat intake isnt held firm enough - so at these RPM's and above ofcourse the intake will shake.
Try to hold the thing down with better or heavy duty mounts - and the problem should be rectified.
dont think tats the problem ben...as yonas fitted the item for me and its very firm... :) so i was thinking more of the sucktion maybe??
my intake didnt actually come with brackets/supports. so im gonna head off to the hardware shop today/tomrw see wat i can hold my intake steady. maybe get some piping or something too :D
thanks for the help guys!!
very much appreciated!!:thumbsup:
the problem lies in the INSTALLATION itself. The throttle cable is gettign caught somewhere - or the throttle butterfly has excess carbon buildup - did you guys re-attach the cam cover piping ? ( you need it !)Quote:

It seems to boom in the cabin, but as for vibration on the accel pedal, none what so ever.
BTW.... it is not bolted down with a bracket... jsut supported by the rubber reducer and clamps. Seems secure enough.
^ I agree.Quote:

we made sure the throttle cable wasnt caught anywhere...wat do u mean by cam cover piping??Quote:
