  1. Yeh I had new coilovers fitted about 5k ks ago so atleast they would be warrantable hopefully. How do I check the pillow ball mounts? Hope its not the dif... sounds freakin expensive Why do you think dif?
  2. Stock arms as far as I know, the bushs arent stock, but that was changed wtih the suspension a few months ago and hasnt made the noise before.
  3. Driving home from work tonight, the GTR started making a noise I havent heard before. From inside it sounds to be coming from the rear of the car like the exhaust is slightly bouncing up and down knocking into the metal frame. It only occurs while decelerating but its repetition is timed with the speed of the car so the faster I'm going the more often the noise goes. Almost like something builds up momentum and bounces up and down. It may also occur over bumps but the R33 is so loud I cant quite tell (and my hearing is subject to the placebo effect). The noise does not occur while accelerating or under brakes, gears and clutch position were irrelevant. I jacked it up and started wobbling things trying to work it out but haven't found anything obvious enough to trigger my limited mechanical skills. Looked in the wheel arches for anything rubbing or stuck to the wheels but no. Checked all fluids levels were ok, nothing leaking (except airconditioning condensation), no eccesive knocking showing on the powerfc... It's loud enough to concern me, I'm sure people driving next to me can hear it. Any ideas?
  4. Stock suspension off a 70k km R33 GTR. Good working condition except front-right shock which was leaking. $50 pickup only, semaphore or norwood.
  5. Had a new Exergy HD clutch fitted todayby Sinergy motorsport, looks like they did a good job. Where most other workshops couldnt accomodate me at such short notice they had the part shipped and installed within 3 days, only left my car at the shop for a few hours. Price for install was the nicer side of $400 as other posts had suggested it should be. Cheers Kim for the recomendation, and to everyone else that posted - I really appreciate the help. Only stalled it 4 times on the way home too
  6. Wow. Awesome advice. 2 hours you say? Hmm I was advised 5 by my usual workshop... 280awkw currently. I thought organic as its my daily and didnt want something too "grabby" in heavy traffic. I would like to occasionally dump it from high revs but is really not essential. I tractor round Mallala about once a month so it does need to handle that. I looked at Xtreme as the other options, didnt realise it was made in Aus which I would prefer. Why wouldn't you go Xtreme again Steve? Nice price on the twin plate exedy, would be great to race with. There is some work to do tomorrow I think
  7. After my last track day my clutch is slipping so bad I can't rev over 3k rpm without losing all power to the wheels. Which isn't great timing considering the private track day we have in a couple of weeks. Was going to get a Exedy HD Organic kit (part NSK-7172 SC) to replace my stocko but I'm having some trouble finding a reputable installer. So far just for the part I have been quoted from ~$800 up to $1650! Installation pricing has been likewise BS >.< Anyway I need some advice on an installer. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated, PM if the reponse is going to violate forum rules obviously. I dont mind travelling anywhere in Adelaide if the job is done right.
  8. Great work Kim. My full payment has been made. Will even try not to tractor it this time
  9. OK full payment made. I'm with a credit union so may take a couple of days for the funds to clear. No more sand though this time
  10. Less people is worth the small cost saving IMO. Grip practice is on this weekend too if you wanna enjoy 25 people trying to kill themselves at the same time I'll be there for that too
  11. I'm there, put me down for a spot for sure. At mallala I assume!? unless you sprung a new track up somewhere How much track time are we talking? My boss books out the track reguarly and they get the whole day just to their attendees so I assume this will be similar?
  12. Not necesarily, the computer just needs a voltage input which theoretically could be from any source - not sure what else would go wrong though... Is all beyond my skills to be honest but would be interesting to find the answer either way.
  13. Hows your electrical skills? She could be a 4wd for the day http://autospeed.com.au/cms/title_Godzilla...53/article.html
  14. My front right shock is gone so I will have to give this one a miss. Not to mention I'm gonna be falling from the sky at 200kph while the race is going Fabs, check out the info from one of the other Mallala prac day threads E.g http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ma...y-t264900.html#
  15. Never heard of potenza shocks, any good? Was looking at super streets or greddy somethings which are closer to $3k
  16. I almost forgot about paying for this Faxed my form today. Now all I need is some less broken shocks hmmm
  17. Price drop, please buy Stock R33 GTR Computer $80 Stock Exhaust $20 Stock Cam Gears $20 Pick up from semaphore or norwood.
  18. Sorry for the late reply. $30 for the snorkel I guess as I gather the airbox isnt so useful without it... $10 postage.
  19. 4 of the mount points look the same. I cant tell exactly as mine doesnt have any model or brand. On the photo below the rubber mount thing is fixed to the pod, one is curved, the other straight. Nice GTR btw
  20. prices ey? Sounds revolutionary. Prices ONO: Stock R33 GTR Computer. $300 Pod Filter. $30 Stock Air Filter $50 Stock Cam Gears - no idea Air Filter $5 Part of the stock Exhaust $50 Kensington LiquidAUX Deluxe for Ipod and Iphone. $80
  21. Yeh I felt like that but its just an ID check so you wont have any problems The more stock the better ofcourse though.
