My Newest And Most Recent Headache
lidz replied to MickEdge's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Sorry about confusion regarding fronts. I know I can't run z33 rear brembos on my z32 but I can run bnr34 ones (after drilling hub to 14mm as mentioned). Also quick search gave this, see last post: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121533-350z-and-gtr-brembo-calipers/page-2 -
My Newest And Most Recent Headache
lidz replied to MickEdge's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
If they don't bolt right up, they're not bnr34's. The only potential issue when fitting bnr34 brembo's applies to r32/33/z32/etc owners & should be enlarging the mounting holes in the hub from 12mm to 14mm. This shouldn't apply to you with a gtt (as I understand it). Are they z33? Front rotors will have a different offset to bnr34. -
Tein Ha Coilovers ? R33 ?
lidz replied to manuel_vega182002's topic in General Automotive Discussion
definitely not for a skyline with those lower mounts, fronts would be eyelets (like your rears) & rears would be forks. -

Cadillac Cts Brake Upgrade.
lidz replied to MJTru's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
hugely overpriced given what the parts cost, 6 pots can by had for us$500 plus shipping brand spankers. -

MJTru have you bought the 4 piston bracket or the 6 piston? There's photos of the 4 piston setup on an r32 on their facebook page. -

Those are the 4 pots, 2012 model moved to 6 pots. Ctsvbrakeswap (link above) will hopefully have their production bracket available soon to suit these using z34 14" rotors. A member on one of the american zed forums made a small quantity of brackets also but these required a fair bit of modification to fit, I'll probably give the above brackets a go once released Edit: piston sizes are different & from what I can find are 30, 34, 38 -
Desmond Regamasters 17" With Tyres
lidz replied to boo5td6's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Gtr's need same size / offset front & back (like the Nissan engineers did...) so like he said, not suitable. But yes good safe sizing for gtst & other rwd nissans -
Nothing on the uca's obviously because they haven't built them, that said the design won't fit on a z32 in it's current form. Feedback relates to other suspension arms that 300 members have purchased & the overall quality they found. Then there's the fact that a lot of their parts labelled as fitting z32 don't actually fit on a z32... I've purchased SPL arms for all my other adjustable arms & while they cost more the quality is fantastic, my only remaining issue is the fuca's which are currently just generic midori style arms. It doesn't look like SPL's will come to market anytime soon so I'll be going UAS when I get the chance.

Another way to minimise the twisting issue is to get arms that use bushes rather than bearings, limited options though. Z1 motorsports do a bushed (& bearing option too) fuca for z32 but you'd need to confirm it would fit. Based of midori design (hardrace style is also) with different ends. http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_8&products_id=6190 Otherwise eccentric bushes in your stock arms. If swapping to bearing arms though it's recommended to swap to rose jointed tension rods also. UAS v2 arms are the ideal option though, we need a group buy!

Interchangeable Coilovers
lidz replied to blk94r33's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Little unsure what your asking. The issue is the r32 circular front pillowball mounts tend to be a bit wider than the oval z32 ones (but not always so test fit beefore chopping!) so will not fit against the inner side of the guard. Thus one side of the mount needs a slight trim. Z32 coilovers however should fit into a bnr32 or gts4 with no issues at all. -
Go the flat caps, looks much nicer imo. I got my set of flat style caps new via Streeter for I think $130 shipped, he can get the other styles also. Your issue might be getting a black set as you tend to just see white/silver/bronze

Interchangeable Coilovers
lidz replied to blk94r33's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
yes, both fit. Currently running a set of hks's in mine to suit bnr32. Only difference is pillowball mounts, r32 is circular, z32 is oval so may need to trim an r32 set if fitting to a z32. edit: Pillowball difference only applies to fronts too -
cheers guys, yeah too many thrashed out heaps these days, they're getting to cheap. Veilside was super nice (& actually almost identical, mufflers different but all 3" piping the same) but always wanted the abflug quad's plus they're loads rarer. Good eye too, it's actually next door to the cement works in the bowls carpark, bloody thing looks locked up tight! Don't know if it's possible to get in do you?
-
update time, new late model skirts, twinz rear bar & abflug exhaust. Wing's gone while I make a custom one
-
Just to clarify for you mate, 33/34 rear coilovers are taller than z32/r32 so might need to specify which ones you definitely need.

In case you fancy a second set of period correct wheels, http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1896&osCsid=55991d383a0bf9ce4956fd9cc4b73ec1 Pana's are looking fantastic though!

A Boy's Love For His Rb20
lidz replied to Roy's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Geeze, a real shame you'll only make it to a half dozen or so tracks... bastard. Impromptu garage clean up / sale to fund more? Any chance of at least driving some of those brilliant roads you always read about in evo? Welsh hillsides, Swiss mountain passes, etc -

Please tell me you'll be running it on some iconic tracks? Damn good motivation to get the thing ready! -
Unless you live & own the car overseas for a period of at least 12 months or you bring it in as a race import to never be used on the road you can't import an r35 any more.
