just curious (I dont have an ATI damper) IF the proper belt is used and tensioned properly, together with a good condition ac pulley, how would the belt come off? the grooves in the belt/pulley plus the lip on the pulley will hold the belt in place no? unless the belt was loose/worn...or the damper was vibrating so much until the belt could slip over the grooves (which is highly impossible cos that means your engine would have been destroyed) I would check the belt tension and make sure the ac is properly tightened

that black styrofoam cover above the spare wheel... anyone got one cheap? I'm in brisbane thanks

the black styrofoam cover thats on top of the spare wheel. anyone got one for sale?

I've a BNR34 and I've sat in a R35... the feel is different. To me, the BNR34 is a childhood dream... the involvement of driver and car. R35 is fast...but to me, thats it. Its like being chauffeured around in a fast car.

Hi all... Got a Carbing passenger plate for sale for A$105. Its a Type A. Was from my S13, so it fits the R32 and a few others... unfortunately it doesnt fit the R33 or R34 more details here.... http://carbing.co.jp/international/products/passenger/main.shtml Will post to any part of aust. Buyer pays postage cheerios

nismo has them for the 32 i believe... but definitely cant get them in time for friday...

does the car fly after the installation? OMG...$4k???????

different strokes for different folks...some like em modified, some like em pristine and kept in a shed... no right or wrong...

after tightening them? no... but now that u mentioned it...

i use the mcgard ones...tighten with a torque setting of about 85-90nm... before that, by hand to see if it turns easily... is there a recommended torque setting for these wheel nuts??

omg...now thats scary... but wouldnt the wheel studs loosen first before a steel nut even cracks? its steel rite?

u have a point but actually i think most people who even think of using a torque wrench are familiar with cleaning the nuts and studs before tightening them. isnt that like the first thing u would do even if u use a rattle gun? its not abt no confidence in oneself but rather, no confidence in tire shop apprentices. have u seen some tire shops rattle away and round a wheel nut or loosen a wheel stud? I have... thus now i tighten the wheel nuts myself.

easiest way is to just pay iron chef to do it for u...end of story.

definitely the modified car yes...but that said, i rather the car enjoy a simple and safe life before i bought it....hahahahahaha so i can buy a pristine, low kms beauty then modify it... no...but i will put a motec/vipec, with high quality parts in it then get the ideal HP what about someone who modifies a nur? http://www.street-cover.com/feature/daniels-r34-gtr-v-spec-ii-nur/ http://www.pasmag.com/features/rides/3300-2002-nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-v-spec-ii-nur

relax

in general, modifications make the car faster better and more importantly unique, a sense of identity of the owner, for the owner... however, when u talk specifically abt the GTR, there are also the purists/collectors who want to preserve the true lineage and icon of the car (much like a thoroughbred horse). I prefer to modify my car
