  1. Oh God EVILTD, we get it, you like R33s, jeez.
  2. Ah, bugger. Ohwell, I'm in no rush. Those 4dr rear quarters and doors look sick...
  3. Hmm... makes it a bit hard, need to know inner and outer diameter or one of them and a wall thickness.
  4. Would be wary of an R33 GTR for $25k... Stock diff is very strong, bottom end is good unless you're planning on circuit racing with sticky tyres, start running into oil control problems. Have a look for Sydneykid's oil control thread for more info on that.
  5. Are they solid or hollow? If they're hollow, do you know the wall thicknesses?
  6. Wooo, look at us go! Simon's car look awesome there
  7. Skylines have a pretty heavy front end... Especially GTRs, R32 gearboxes aren't the best, but depends on how you drive them. I've had no problems with mine with constant drift work (But only 185rwkw).
  8. I doubt you will get 12deg with just adjustable castor rods anyway. You will need to play with the upper arm a lot to reach that much, or keep your front bar off so your wheels dont touch it With 1.5deg camber, you should max the castor out at around 8deg without scrubbing on things. That has been my experience with R32s anyway.
  9. You're on Simon!
  10. Yeah, we didn't do too bad, got 2nd. Behind team Peer, but they're amazing, so it was expected that we wouldn't win it... Now quit ya yappin and get out there damn it! Circuit stuff too Dodgy1_SA: Cheers for the pics man! Much appreciated
  11. The spin around turn 2 was incredibly scary... Pretty sure I left some fruit in my loins... Can I still drive you car at lala sometime? RB30 power ahoy!
  12. Anyone with pics/vids of me? Silver R32 4dr? And runs of Team Kiosk? (Simon, Hayden (red R32 2dr), and I)
  13. If it's used for drift/skid pan, dont go overboard with castor. When you're counter steering, castor will add camber the wrong way so you will be decreasing contact patch and hence grip. 8-9deg is a bit more normal as previously mentioned. I would run less toe in on the rear for better turn in and a bit more camber on the front. What's your rear camber like?
  14. Bolted to the passenger side strut tower.
  15. 350/340 for GTS-t/GT-t 355/345 for GTR for drive shaft angles
  16. Ash, gimme your engine for the weekend, I need more power damn it!
  17. Yep, at work we pump them up to the maximum pressure written on the sidewall. 30psi is way too low for a space saver.
  18. Depends on the person, if they really want the plates they'd be willing to pay more. But realistically, those plates are worth $20 + $50 to transfer to the new owner so I dont think you'd get that much for them.
  19. Have a look at their recommended spring rates on this page Same rates for all skylines, R32 - R34, 2wd and 4wd, despite their huge differences in handling characteristics... Interesting R&D Offer custom spring rates, do they revalve the shocks when a different rate is chosen? No. And then check out the Whiteline/Bilstein groupbuy, much better than the Tein of the same price range too.
  20. The absolute best thing about having the car high ...Oh, and the handling
  21. Nah, I've been a bit lucky I guess, havn't had any buggered rack ends, or tie rods yet. But it's only a matter of time as I've seen from other people's track cars. Does sound like a buggered rack end would be your problem though.
  22. Cubes: Not sure if you know this or not, but a lot of people dont. Those wheel alignment sheets are in degrees and minutes, so the second number only goes up to 60. So you have 41' (~0.67deg) more on the left, which isn't too bad, used to stop the car drifting towards the kerb due to the camber of the road. I'd be more concerned that he's given you some positive camber both front and rear! The toes arent very even either, bit over 1mm on the front in and 4mm on the rear in (total), so the values aren't too bad, could just be a bit more even, not a huge problem though. Is your steering wheel straight? I would want the cambers evened up to Gary's specs or more. I run 1.5deg on the street and get pretty even tyre wear. Would also get them to max out your castor adjustment, if you've got the adjustment there, you may aswell use it. Where did you get that done (PM me if you want) because it doesn't look the wheel aligner had any idea what he was doing...
  23. An EBC will fix the boost tapering off
  24. Gimme your turbo, it'll be even funner! I'll let you drive it again, promise Was fun watching it do massive scandos, and almost hitting Huddy's car...
