  1. Hey the dump pipes to suit stock Rb20 turbo are these standard parts or performance?
  2. oh yeah should have mentioned I have a 110 tonne press at home : ) cheers
  3. Hey all, My upper control arm bushes are stuffed, caused me to wear out an expensive set of tyres in about 6-7 thousand K's (really bad camber wear on the outside, the inside of the tyre look pretty new). the local import garage quoted me 1400 to re-bush and told me my stub axle had a stuffed uni-joint... I was bullshitted yeah? so I've decided to do the work myself, the current upper control arm itself should be fine, but I just want to double check my plans with some more experienced folk to make sure I'm not wasteing my cash on unneeded or incorrect parts. I'm planning on rebushing the upper control arm with this set from uniqueautoparts.com; Clicky bush's inplace image I've also noticed that my castor rod inner bush has gone soft from contact with engine oil, have been looking around and have seen images that look like what I'm after but the part is a called a "radius rod" bush is this the same as the castor rod bush? cheers Dan
  4. Been looking around on the web this morning and have found genuine upper control arms for $270 each, or a full bush replacement set for $270 from uniqueautosports.com.au anyone have any experience with self installing/driving with the polyurethane bushes? I have a press at home.
  5. Hey All, got a bit of a problem with my R32 GTST, it chewed through a pair of Firehawk tyres on the frontend in about 6-7 thousand km's. When I had them replaced last week I could see the steel inners of the tyre starting to show on the outside of the tyre but the inside was not nearly as badly worn. The fella at tyre power pro put the car up on the hoist and told me the front end it pretty much rooted, all the bushes and ball joints are badly worn or worse, and a second opinion told me the right stub axle has damage consistent with a head on collision somewhere in the cars life (evidently the bloke I bought the car from is probably a liar). have been quoted between 1300 and 1400 to get the upper control arm bushes replaced and the stub axle replaced but that seems very high. I’ve asked the mechanic for a printed breakdown of what work will be done and cost of parts but he never got back to me. what would my other options be? does anyone have a front end they would sell me? How have other people dealt with this problem in the past? I'm sick of getting the run around and need a solution asap before the new tyres are wasted aswell. thanks.

  17. Hey all Need to replaced a single leaking injector, anyone got new ones or second hand ones in good condition they would like to sell? needed ASAP as car is off the road cheers Dan
  18. Hey Have had the common problem of leaky injectors, changed the O-rings on all 6 and put it all back together only to see petrol pissing out of no 4. pulled it all out and pressure tested the injector in a glass of water and bubbles poured out of the area between the coloured head and the black part of the injector (sorry for crude observation). been looking around the normal stop Autobarn and Repco but can find somewhere that sells RB20DET injectors only VL RB30 ones... where i can i go, had a look on JJR website and they only stock RB26 600cc+ or SR20 ones. have searched this part of forums before posting and could see anything either

    Cairns

    I loved the people in Cairns, I hate city people and the "me verse you" attitude of city people. I couldn't go out in Brissy after living in Cairns the nightlife...or all week life is awesome it shits all over going out in Brissy. if your into pills and that bullshit there is heaps of that up there, if your into pubs there is some awesome pubs up there clubs are good and the constant flow of backpackers are awesome

    Cairns

    I used to live in Caravonica and i loved it there, Cairns is 15min wide...as in your only even 15mins from anywhere by road. Smithfield is nice aswell barley 5 mins to Palm cove and the other beaches. right near the Barron river rapids and just above the flood plain of the Barron. living closer to the western mts is better, less salt effect on everything you own, amazing views to wake up too. pick somewhere because its quiet or senic not because its close to something distance is no issue in Cairns
