  1. What;s the main difference between Advance & Ultimates? Is Advance strictly street use only? (My front EBC green pads feels a bit wearing out after a couple of track days)
  2. hm.. interesting... can heavier spring rate induce more oversteer? In a AWD system like GTR, an understeer is natural behaviour when pushed beyond its limit, characteristic of an 4WD/AWD car. When combined with stiffer front spring rate, the understeer effect can get worst. Maybe Nissan engineer decided to put stiffer rear spring rate and softer front spring rate to dial out some of those understeer effect and to help the AWD GTR to turn in more into the corner, all in order to achieve a more balanced chassis dynamic. This setup would be different in a RWD GTS-t because of RWD tendency to oversteer when cornering hard under power. That's how I guess on GTS-t the rear spring rate is softer than the front... I'm no expert, so if it doesnt logic enough, feel free to discuss... just my 2c....
  3. Has anyone confirmed the tow hook requirement?
  4. If the fuse blown wouldnt' there be no electricity going into the pwr window motor, thus no click sound at all (like the motor is trying to turn) ??
  5. Age has finally caught up with my car (93 GTS-t)? My power windows stopped working all of a sudden last night. Lucky it was in the closed position otherwise rain may get in. When I press the button, there's a click sound in both up/down direction, which means the motor still got power but something has prevent it to stop rolling down the windows. Anyone know how to fix it? There's a couple of tutorial somewhere but now one of the the thread missing and the other thread the picture links dont' work anymore. I did a search and yield nothing. Alternatively anyone know who can fix this easily without damaging my interior door trim? I got quite a busy work schedule sometimes wont even have time to fix it myself after work
  6. the mags looks good. get the body kit for rice factor. don't worry about the weight of the rims unless you're already at a level to try to break your own lap time record with a powerful race-spec car, where power and handling is no longer an issue, but crucial weight reduction is still to be made.
  7. S1.5 looks a bit different than S2 one. The S2 one looks much better IMO, as the S1.5 one looks like what they put in family sedans i.e. Maxima. Anyhow if anyone got S2 wheel with the airbag has been removed, send me pm. I may be interested to see if it fits into my S1 (originally came with no airbag).
  8. Is it leaking from the caliper piston? the seal around the piston might be due for replacement. but depends how bad it is may need a rehaul. Nothing that a good brake shop can't do. If only leaking at the hose then just get it replaced with some ADR approved braided hose. There's plenty around and a recent group buy you can get it cheap < $350)
  9. Haven't got the pic requested of the above items till now... Please send to: [email protected] Will you consider separating the seatbelts as a pair of front & rear?
  10. there's a new thread about the next winton fun day - 23rd january. have a look here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=59814
  11. oh no guys.. just remembered now... 22nd January is my gf's birthday... so I dunno if she'll appreciate me to race the following day...
  12. Hmm... i'm interested... $20 of fun...
  13. Cruise control does not have anything to do with the transmission. I used to own a 5sp manual Mitsu Galant SE hatch, and the FACTORY cruise control works properly. It's a misconception among general public that cruise control only works for auto - no it's not.
  14. Q: 1. Is there any damage, scratches, etc on any of the rims? 2. Is there any center location ring supplied or do they fit the Nissan's centre hub perfectly without any rings required? If you don't know why it's needed, its for preventing rims sitting loose and prevent up,down,left,right movement creating an off-center position that makes its forever unbalanced...
  15. thank's guys... i would have thought it's suppose to have boost gauge, last night I compared it with some pics from prestige motorsports, sedans should have too. looks like tacho been changed maybe not working...
  16. I was looking at this ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=4516612828 I noticed in the interior shot the 4DR R33 GTS-t mentioned above is missing the usual boost gauge under the tacho. Now is this normal for 4 doors or the car has somewhat had its speedo replaced with a non-turbo speedo for "certain reasons"? It's a 93 model with claimed 70,000km on the clock. I asked the seller a question and he mentioned the car is a turbo (can't see the stud pattern on the rims whether it's 4 or 5 stud because it's got aftermarket rims on), then the seller added the reason it has GTS25t badge is: "Becoase this car came from Japan. so thats why it is GTS25t but the quality is same as other same model cars in Australia." Sounds dodgy? What do you say, particularly you 4 door owners? I know in 2 door automatic R33 GTS-t the boost gauge exists, so it's not because of the auto transmission.
  17. Is there a way to link our SAU email's password to our forum userid's password?
  18. I think it's post-86 must be 90db or under and pre-86 is allowed up to 93db. motorcycle is allowed up to 96db.
  19. FYI that looks like a standard S2 R33 frontbar. If it's right, it won't fit S1 R33.
  20. My car is a 95% daily driver 5% trackday use. I'd say go Koni or bilstein from Whiteline setup, they're nice on the road firm without getting too harsh. May not be as calibre as the other stiff suspension aimed for the true track out there, but if you own only 1 car and use it the way I use mine, u'd be happy with Whiteline. I am.
  21. Man, I am just wondering how fast can you go in this? LOL Any drifting potential?
  22. I don't have the pics yet...... can you attach it on this thread?
  23. any pics for: 11. Front Guard Plastic Shroud (2 Driver & 1 Passenger) ? cant seem to locate it from your pictures attached.
