Question nismo z vibration

OK so one of the nismo's is having a crazy vibration while driving.it feels like the tire is out of balance,or out of round to me.but it does it at really slow speeds like about 30,then of course gets worse as you go fast,but then it feels like a rubbing vibration of some sort..abs has kicked in for no reason a few times at slow speeds,and you can hear a hissing sound coming from the rear as its idling.dont really have a clue on what it could be.the car just had the slave cylinder recall not too long ago-could that be a part of it?any info or opinions would be helpful.

Yea, it's Josh's car.. feels like something is binding in the rear differential or caught up on one of the rear axles.. maybe a rear caliper hanging up but we tried power breaking and pulling the e brake all the way up when parked and releasing.. (you know when you get a string or something caught up in the vacuum cleaner? makes that kinda noise/ vibration) Just started on Thursday no apparent cause. pos car. Time to get 2 GTR's.
