Nismo 3.2ish

You were driving it with both bearings stuffed, what was the steering like ?

So now there is only one outlet for E85, no wonder United upped their price, supply and demand = they can Before the oil prices dropped I was paying $1.68 for 98pump up here. I do not remember seeing a United station anywhere up here so I guess there is not much chance of getting it ??? Maybe if Caltex had an extra 20c a Lt on the E85 they would still be selling it ?

I bought a set last year $375 each, fitted and balanced and about a month ago they had them on this site for $220 each This could be your problem at the moment, but $250 each is a very good price

Looking great mate, good job I am thinking of doing something with the inside as soon as I sort my motor out, if ever

I am really starting to think they should have had the boss have a look, maybe it is not even this part that is give the play, be interesting to see what the Bossman has to say on Monday. But if you do not have a name for the part , it is hard to order it. Kudos said it was , see below link King Pin Bearing Kit (1 Side) - Nissan 300ZX Z32 & Skyline R32 GTR / GTS-4, R33 GTR / GTS-4 & R34 GTR

Hi Terry , I am not a NSW member yet, but if my Mother was still alive, I would not go, is it hard to change the day ? Hope I am not sticking my nose in where it is not wanted

I wonder why a bloke that works on cars would not know this, he may not be the boss but are the Skyline GTRs so different if you have not worked on them before? Spent a bit of time trying to get some info off the web yesterday, I must be asking the wrong questions ???????

The main bloke is going to have a look at it on Monday, he was not in when his bloke did the test ?

Looks very nice, I know what you mean about luck ATM

Went to the mechanic and he shook his head when I said it was not a ball joint but a Kingpin or upper spindle bearing and said it was a ball joint ?

I was 8

Looks like mine might be the Kingpin bearing

Will check it out, thanks It always looks easy when someone else does it that knows what they are doing

Thanks mate That is some sort of press type fitting ?

Not sure if i have this right but it looks like it. Tried to take a pic with the wheel on, do better tomorrow My mechanic said my "Top Outer Ball Joint Arm " needs replacing or whatever but he cannot find one anywhere . It seemed to be the same as the on in the photo, pressed on or something like that?? He is away until tomorrow so I will have to wait and go and see him, take a couple of pics I contacted Kudos and he said the R34GTR doesn't use any ball joints in the top arm only on the lower and there were 2, an inner(4 bolt) and outer(2 bolt) Mine is a 1999 R34GTR are they different ?

Sure will, just hope that is an easy one to find or it could get ugly. I will drop it off and if they think they can do it in 2 or 3 days I might be able to have the girls looked after and stay in Sydney until it is done , but I do not like using people up with this type of thing as there can be more important reasons for asking for a favour.

Mick_O , no one explains anything because I think it could be like admitting that they caused a problem, no one in business likes to give themselves up and take responsibility for a fault and they try to dodge the bullet

Thats a great offer, love to see some pics of your work, How long does it take to do something like that. I would have to get the down pipe and Cat sorted before I give it to the builder or get them to do it before they can really fix the farked tune , thanks for the offer, I do not know what to do at the moment My problem is I am a single Dad and have no other family here where I live and the kids have to go to school etc. When I drive down and if it is going to take longer than a day or 2 at the most, I have to fly back. So each of these trips cost me about $800 return. This is why I try and get everything done at the same place at the same time, seems it is not working out real good,haha I feel the build is so close to being finished but with a lot of nagging problems that need fixing and the builder has to fix the ones that I feel are his responsibility and I need to give them a chance to sort this shit out.

My Handbrake has had it, do Nismo make them, been on the web but no luck ?

Is that all , sweet

Haha But it does stand out and makes it look even bigger. I am tempted to get it done locally, going to see another mob tomorrow and see what they have to say, should at least be interesting

Probably better, but looks ?

It looks like that but I wonder if it looks like that because it is right up on the bend and I think bends tend to take some size of tube, but ?

They have a couple of weeks with some Motorsports commitments , so some time after that. If I get a local bloke to do the 4" down pipe and the Cat, is there anything I should make sure they do, does the down pipe have to be coated ? Would I be able to sell the down pipe, shit it is new
