as for ratio, the same screenshot from the manual shows GTR is 4.111 (37/9). r32 gts4 is closer to 4.4 (I don't have the exact teeth count handy), I have swapped one into my GTR it is definitely different. I'm not sure what you have in those 3 cars, but they sure ain't normal.

You're in the US, right? wasn't there some weird scam with all the GTRs that went into the country being rebadged fakes or something? In any case, no matter how many of what you have in the yard, all 32 GTRs have 2 way mechanical diffs in them. And if it helps, here's page CH-125 from the gtr workshop manual confirming it has a mechanical rear diff

Well the hazards don't go through the same circuit as the dash (and indicators) so that explains why they work but not the dash. You'll need someone to find the short in the dash ignition power, might take some stuffing around but its not impossible

sounds like whoever wound it back before compliance was a bit hard on it.

well that sucks. hope your insurance sorts it out properly.

looks like the 34 gtst part is 55154-30P01, so not the same as 32 GTR. And yes they suck to change on the car so allow for the labour cost to remove and replace the hubs....may be worth checking or doing other bushes at the same time

this is c34, right? if so the s2 climate control has the same plug but different pinout to series 1.....yes I know because I bought the wrong one years ago Also, again assuming it is c34, I have a link to the Japanese service manual, if you want it just pm me your email

yeah OK from that description probably the bit you have circled. I would not assume the ebay listing for 32 gtr matches 34 gtt unless you have seen confirmation on here or in a catalogue somewhere. If you want to pm me or someone else with FAST your VIN number we can check if it is the same part as 32 gtr (55154-30P00) Nissan definitely have them, ironically I bought some for my 32 gtr the other week. more expensive than your ebay listing though. BTW unless they are seriously f**ked most places would not notice some extra play in those joints....you could always take it somewhere else.

need circles on your pic mate, the description is not specific enough to be sure. also, the ebay listing has 3 pics of different parts, all of which are for 32 gtr (and I wasn't aware you could get the ball joint at the end of the tie rod anywhere except genuine Nissan).

oh yeah good point....keep it registered. much easier to pay rego and get a pink slip when you need to than to go through all the blue slip / re-rego stuff in a year.

well yes, I agree they change more than road tyres with usage....but that's no reason not to start with a balanced tyre! it's more an argument to balance them again later if they start to vibrate

absolute rubbish.

Wheel spacers are not the devil, although 8mm is pretty large. The relevant question is how much wheel stud do you get to put the nut on. Since the studs are M12 you should be looking for at leas 12mm of stud in the nut

can't see why you'd want to drain the fuel either....if the lines are empty they and the various o rings etc are more likely to perish. one thing I would suggest is a low tank of fuel that you fill fresh when your are running again, and of course an oil change when you get back as well.

having let cars not running all the time, I'd disconnect the battery positive and walk away happily.

Matt...on the form! Eric...thanks, awesome.

Hi guys, my member card expired last December and I will need either a current club card or letter confirming I am a member next weekend for Nulon round 2. I sent my form across last week with a note it is urgent but have not received acknowledgement or the new card yet. Please help.

lol thanks pete, you still got your eyes on those tasty rims?

hang on, do you mean: "along with the return of the previous rule in relation to Classic competition wheel sizes, which will come into effect immediately after this year’s Targa Tasmania. " because that wouldn't affect early modern? detail from the regs: 59. Wheels Wheel make and construction are free provided they meet the load carrying capabilities of the vehicle. The following size allowances apply to the standard wheel size available for the model of vehicle not including any options or variants. Modern SS and Showroom Wheel diameters may be varied by a maximum of plus or minus 1” Modern LMS and M S Wheel diameters and width may be varied by a maximum of plus or minus 2” Classic SS and All Specifications from 3rd May 2015 Wheel diameters and width may be varied by maximum of plus or minus 2” to a maximum size of 17” diameter and 8” wide unless the original wheel is larger in diameter and/or width in which case the original wheel size shall be the maximum size. Classic LMS and MS until 3rd May 2015 Maximum wheel size is 17” in diameter and 8” wide unless original wheel size is larger in diameter and/or width in which case the original wheel size shall be the maximum size. So I think it hasn't changed for me. BTW looks like Steve may have a problem: The following vehicle types will not be granted entry into the Modern or Showroom category: • Vehicles made by one manufacturer and then modified and re–tuned and released as a derivative of the original car under another name are not permitted.

ahh, you mean the "good news you can have certainty there are no rules changes for the next three years" rules? Thanks for mentioning because that would save me a heap of trouble....I can just run 33 gtr wheels and everyone comes back to my size

lol for once I think Pete's onto something

you opening an import dealership?

Yeah mate the trailer is awesome, been quite a step up from the death trailer that we used for so long. An interesting sideline from the weekend..... At the Federal tyres tech night Mick Hart pointed out that the width of tyres are not always the same between brands, and that semi slicks in particular vary a lot. So here's an example.....some Dunlop 245 and Federal 245 next to each other on the floor.... The pair of Federals are at least 15mm wider than the dunlops As far as actual race car work, I've got this de-pressing pile to get to (you are dead right Charles!). Actually spent a fair bit of time trying to remove some 25 year old studs from a hub and had no luck; neither bashing nor pressing up to 5tonnes....the damn things were not about to fall out. And some actual car work....I've been running standard sized wheels all this time, 17x8 which has plenty of clearance inner and outer to the standard guards. But Targa rules allow +2" so I'm looking to fit some 18x10s to allow rubber that will last longer.... Interestingly, what everyone says "fits" doesn't really....ie what looks good does not provide much clearance. I bought a set of light and strong rays in 18x 9.5 +12 but even with 245 tyres on and rolled guards there is less than 10mm clearance to the outer guard at full compression, but at least 25mm to the tie rod end and over 40mm to the inner guard. So, stuffed if I can see the point of a 2" wider wheel that has to run the same 245s I put on 8" rims.....sadly that means these purty rims are up for sale and I'm looking for 18x10 +25 to +35 offset in a similar forged rim In any case, rolling one rear is done, I'll get the other side and the front done next weekend. As you can see I took the spring off but put the shock back in so I could easily check the wheel over it's full movement. BTW if you ever do it, remember to disconnect the sway bar too

its all skyline sized in there, so just grab ones to suit 32 gtr or 33 gtst. I'm using the ones that came with the 32 gtr g4 kit
