  1. take your wheel off and have a look. either the metal indicator is touching the rotor so maybe change your brake pads. Or get some brake gel from super cheap about $3 and take out your brake pads and apply it to the metal brakets that sit inside your caliper and and around your pistons put your pads back in and it should be all good.
  2. Searching for a 3" CATCO CAT if possible for 32gtr with flanges or something similar in quality asap.
  3. I got 18 x 10.5 +15 on my gtr32 they stick out about 20mm but nothing what rolling your guards or flaring them can't fix. Can post pics if required. Most good wheels brands only come in very few off sets variants (like 2) when you looking at 18x10.5 size. Like the old saying goes don’t buy wheel to suit the car make the car suit the wheels lol however that goes.
  4. Have a look at DIY thread there maybe some tips. Work out how your going to take off the front bar first. Talk to someone that has done it to your car exactly. Because first time attempt takes the longest. Second round is always the easiest. Follow the manual if you got one. Hope your piping fits up good and easy (if Chinese could be a little trouble) If any pipe is wrong size you can get it made up at a exhaust shop just make up an example one out of pvc Don’t know what else to say except think positive and say to yourself it’s no rocket science "you can do it". Once your done don't forget to take soem pics and write up a DIY so the next person can attempt it. Good luck.
  5. I think the price difference is Tein pillow ball upper mounts are now included in the Mono Flex kit. Normaly they do not offer them in Tein kits, I would get them if i was buying Tein. Iv been waiting for the new Mono Flex to come out. I would like to see what people think of them who have actually experienced them. IMO I would go with Tein. Knowing I could go down the street and get them rebuilt if I needed to.
  6. A lot of votes for Supra wow. I vote GTR because I was going through this same dilemma a few years ago when I was tossing up between Supra TT or Skyline GTR? Well it came down to this. I Love both cars but GTR had two back seats which you can actually use not like the supra and a good size boot for shopping etc. Also the difference in fuel cost between 2.6 and a 3lt I think a 3lt Twin turbo is an over kill for 2 person ride. And the best thing I like about the GTR is its like a Coca Cola Classic like a Corvette a perfect sleeper but when you see a Supra you think “IN YOUR FACE” big muscle car like a Viper must go fast with bad handling. Therefore there is no real significant advantage having a Supra than a GTR IMO. I bought for Everyday Street driving not track. I don’t want to wreck my 10.5 x 18 Volks lol. Any way that’s my opinion and good luck with what you decide.
  7. Sorry but a job like that I would take it to a shop too much work involved let them do it. And get the suspension looked at for free and keep up with the maintenance.
  8. HKS actuator is suppose to be 50% stronger over standard therefore allowing you to wind up the boost and holding onto that boost when needed. IMO if your not going for crazy boost e.g over 1.4 bar i would not bother. spend money else where.
  9. Yes....especially if your wheel is moving. It should not be moving at all. Replace the bearing and use high temp grease. good luck.
  10. Add an AMP JUST get good cheap second hand one it will sound better too. Or a new one if you can afford it.
  11. I won a court case against the police it took me all day at court I represented myself too. I had about 3 prosecutors 1 was getting led by the other two. The two flamin mongrelstable lied so much I ripped into them regarding their story and the lack of evidence the magistrate could see how the police was trying to take advantage of me. After I won i also made a official complaint to the Qld Police Service that’s always good for record too. The senior detergent from the cop shop was not happy at all. I wish there was a www.dobinacop.com.au site it would get soo many hits. There are 3 sorts of people that you can't trust IMO. Car Sales Man a Lawyer and a Cop these days.
  12. I have forza 2 and I bought the xbox because of forza 2 and I love car racing. I have HD 32" Panasonic lcd dedicated for xbox only. I have xbox wheel and pedal. I have....... wait for it the ultimate rumbel chair, man this thing is amazing you feel all the bump on the road and stereo speakers. Lets just say any time friends come over they want to play xbox and forza all the time. now saying that I have seen demo of GT5 for PS3 and that looks awsome too. but i am happy with forza and if you want a good game for drifting then get PRO Street (need for speed) If you want to see this set up or experience it let me know if that helps you make up your mind. Im in Brisbane
  13. most jap brands will fit perfect like a glove, if its made for your model car. all sound different thats the only difference. HKS is the best IMO. again all jap ones are good quality. but you don't need one and they can be defected apparently. Saying that i got twin HKS hehe.
  14. If you waiting for them to send you a letter then if i was you and was concerned about your points and court action i would change all those things back to normal as i bet thats what the end result will be plus a hefty fine and loss of points. its the losing of points the major bitch. and try to keep your driving record clean the cops will keep using that against you all the time you enter court again.
  15. you can be a dumb ass cock opps i mean cop faster than tradesmen can be fully certified. now thats f**ked. your give some dick shit the power and control over law someone with less IQ than a 5th grader IMO. go figure. let me ask you when was the last time you saw a cop do something good that did not involve giving a speeding ticket or j-walking ticket.
  16. IMO the cost of doing this, it would be simple to just sell it all. Mainfold + Turbo + Dump and get stock twin mainfold and new twin low mount turbos 320hp + second hand dumps such as tomie style big bell mouth and you car will be much more responsive vitually no lag.
  17. offset has nothing to do with what the size of tyre goes on a rim. its the rim width that restricts you. offset is to work out if its going to touch the brake caliper and how much its going to poke out from the guards or how much dish you are going to get. correct me if im wrong.
  18. go new, go nismo 740cc about $900 if all you ever want is 500hp atw or 1000cc if you yearn for more. Just do it once.
  19. You can make any caliper fit it all depends how much time and effort you got plus $$$. I would sell the z32 and buy second hand replacement ones or something better like off a gtr32,33. Upgrade don't Downgrade or keep it stock.
  20. Topsecret has plenum for around 2K with Q45 Throtle body. looks pretty sexy IMO its the best one on the block in looks and performance. look at nengun or topsecret site. Greedy I think someone is selling one on this site for $700 i think in perth do a search. I guess if im on a budget i go greedy if i wanted all out i go topsecret looks dam impressive. You get what you pay for, if you try to sell it later you will get good return on a jap product than an imitation one.
  21. post a pic of you and the car and introduce yourself, tell us about yourself and your interest in the GsTaR :-)
  22. OK lets be practical this is what i do for my GTR. i buy nasty nankangs because. 1. the price is cheaper when you add tyre+balance+wheel alignment = cheaper than the rest. 2. I have not fixed my negative chamber and all GTRs will have this unless you spent $$$ correcting it. This means 30K or 1yr driving is all your going to see before your tyres are unroadworthy. 3. I have a grid dancer installed in my car its a electronic device about $250-300 I highly recommend this upgrade because of the shit tyres i use the grid dancer shifts the torque to the front wheels between 20-50% and man driving in the rain is no problem the crap nankangs perform like Yokohama Advans in the dry :-) 4. therefore the money i save from buying expensive one pair for the year i can buy 2 pairs of crappy tyres for 2years. tip hard compound tyres will last longer but shit in rain and when cornering hard. This is what i find that works for me, maybe not for you.
  23. 285 will be too big for 9.5 IMO. unsafe and unpractical. only way to go bigger is a wider rim 10.5 but dam 265 should be wider enough just wait till you see it and don't forget cheaper :-)
  24. I was at the tokyo motor show i got lots of pics of the gtr35. Trust me its one awsome car.
