  1. Hey, If you do run a cruise then pm me. i'm the owner of a r31 gtsx and went on the autosalan cruise and agreed.. we left at the ttp carpark.. thanks gadget
  2. is it sold yet? does it come with loom and gearbox? will you find freight to adelaide if required
  3. mm close sorry, i got some for a 31 4 stud
  4. ok you wont swap parts but can you tell me how you did the 5 stud conversion and if you were interested i would buy the flip spoiler seperatly but tis up to you i saw you said no but ti have a gtsx and the previous owner crashed it and i would really like one again
  5. stud pattern? offset? to go on what?
  6. hi again.. i found out some info today.. unless yours is minispool in which case there isnt much you can do about it (besides buy an lsd unit).. heres what i can tell you aparently the gtr's came out with five different LSD units.. viscous, mechanical and clutches are probably the most common.. clutch lsd centres if they fail they act as an open wheeler only spinning one wheel... viscous lsd centres can go either way, wither lock or open depends on what fails (i would have thought more often open wheeler) and finally mechanical ( which i think yours possibly would be) which will lock when stuffed usually.. if your experiencing under steer and skipping around corners (possibly not all the time) then id say this is what you have and its stuffed.. whatever you do dont just rip the diff out and chuck it.. people will pay top dollar for mechanical lsd units (stuffed or not) because they are hard to find.. you'd want to rebuild yours if possible.. hope it helps... let me know how you go john
  7. thanks ill check it out
  8. hey, sounds interesting.. does it skip around corners? and your right LSD's usually from my experience stop working as they wear.. like one of mine has.. but it could depend on what sort of lsd unit it is.. ill check with some sources i have and post another reply tomorrow... if you want to i can look at it depending on what i come up with.. talk soon..
  9. triple gauges holder... can you pm me your contact detaills please..
  10. hey guys has anyone got any cooler piping for an r32 front mount? preferably stainless 2.5"???
  11. hey, just wondering if anyone has tried fitting 32 struts and hubs to a 31 im thinking about trying to make it work because i want a 5 stud wheel... here in SA its hard to get wheels in the right offset for the four stud
  12. hey oz, im from adelaide and if you want to meet up and ill have a quick look at it ill help you... im a qualified mech but i dont know all still learning about things but id be interested in a look..
  13. id say depends on how you want your tyres to wear... all the guys opinions are correct, but you need to watch your tyre wear and adjust accordingly to what you want.. higher pressure will wear the middle of the tread like baz said, and will not give as good traction (less surface area of tyre on the road) i have been told that the wider the tyre is the easier it is to wear the centre of the tread too because the tyre balloons in the centre more.. so to run a lower psi gives you more traction but wears the edges of the tread..
  14. hey all, i have had my skyline gtsx for a while now and i baught it without 2 of the standard wheels.. they are 16" white spoked wheels 31 owners would recognise them, same as sillouette gts wheels. i know one of the previous owners uses this forum site and i hope he still has them.. if you need a pic pm me and ill get one to you thanks heaps.. john
  15. hey charlie, it might be a bit late in writing, but i have had that problem on my R31 several times and it can come about by washing the engine down.. the water settles in the contacts and can't get out easy then corrodes the contacts.. jut keep it in mind if you have washed your engine.. its quite common i see it all the time its unfortunate where the sensors sit they just cand dry efficiently..
  16. whats wrong with your o2 sensor richo? sorry im new guys ill introduce myself... im john, from adelaide.. mechanic, proud owner of 2 R31 skylines
