So what kind of revs was it pulling and under what circumstances did it go bang? Drag/circuit?

Hi Rolls R32 GTR or GTSt? I've got some group buy GTR dampers for sale PM me if you're interested. Cheers

Accuracy?....Media?....good luck finding that. Unfortunately while we know that they are happy to spread untruths, they just keep on keeping on. Nothing short of mischievous and devisive. Never let a few facts get in the way etc...

Marko thanks for putting us out of our misery. Unbelievably (because I wouldn't expect anyone to believe it now) when I did mine I fleetingly wondered about RB25 covers, knowing that they are slimmer. Didn't think it was enough to make a difference though. And I was a bit dogged about keeping the RB26 ones. Bugger!

Update for those interested. The US place with the seals isn't communicating by email and the phone isn't working. Tomei paste turned out to be just moly. Took oem seals out - those that didn't fall out once the nuts on the end of the shaft were removed. Seals were in pretty poor shape and well pushed out note they are 2.7mm thick so not much room to move anyway. Found some double lip seals OS 10173 that are similar to the oem ones but about 1mm smaller OD. They look like the ones the evo boys use to correct the issues they have with boost leaks. Pulled out the oem bearing retainers and replaced them with some new ones to suit the new seals, but with a small retaining lip. All bottoned up again and it runs fine. Recommend anyone who has their tb's off look at doing this, just check out the state of the oem seals and how far they are pushed out particularly if you're running higher boost. I upped mine to only 18 psi and they got bent out of shape.

Shocks only. Can assist with coilover adapters if required. Approx 5000 km road use only. Selling as I have 2 other sets and don't need these. $950 inc reg post, this is a massive saving on the new price of $1200+ No lowballs thanks. Located in Canberra, PM me if interested.

Alternatively there's Hitman at Penrith, just around the corner from the RTA. I reckon you could get an unreg vehicle permit for 2 weeks and drive it up and back plus have time to do the engineer rep when you return.

I agree hope to get the ball rolling as soon as I hear from them.

Thanks guys, GTRNUR sounds exactly like mine. doo-doo I saw them when googling a solution, know Nissan have nothing but I hoped a bearing place might. Did you try locally?

confirm it was actually the choke cable you pulled out? anyway having a big bottom end for your forklift is no good if you can't find a warehouse large enough to accomodate it.

Katmobile on the rollers. BTW your pistons are ok. We managed to kat-ch them as they came out Bloody hard work though they were fast. Edit because I didn't want to mention the bonnet got nicked by number 6. Doh!

Discovered an air leak in the rear throttle body. Initially presented as high pitched squeal at idle that immediately goes when you crack the throttle. Doesn't appear to be gasket related and a fine shot of petrol at the shaft end makes it run rough. Suspect the TBs got washed when the head was recoed, apparently that will remove whatever compound Nissan uses during assembly. Hi Octane recommend a Tomei paste (wasabe and moly?) that is applied to the shaft ends on the inside of the TB and according to them to the butterfly also (not sure how this would help unless it's just to the sides of the butterfly to assist in penetrating the shaft space). Of course instructions are in Jap. Wondering if any one has used it and if so can please advise how it works and how it should be applied. Thanks in advance

Peter I've got a set from the GB for sale if you're interested. Cheers

Chris I've got a set of Bilsteins for sale that have done nearly no work. Well below retail. PM me if you're interested. Cheers

Hopefully you'll obtain the same sense of satisfaction 'stacking crates' as we do.

Hmmm...putting Autronic in your Kar, Kat?

guys don't buy new at this price.

don't run them on the studs. good luck to those that do but remember the weight is taken on the hub not the studs, hence why dodgy spacers cause wheels to fly off now and then. try Donnellan's or another big tyre place, i had some made up at a tyre place here in Canberra.

i reckon 15mm is about right...there's bugger all in it and without cutting I could actually shut my bonnet - it just wasn't a good shut in that I knew there was minor contact. curiouser and curiouser...

Hi Marko doh, of course. friend of mine did this ages ago on an R33, dropped them by 38mm but I recall he used the stock lines etc would have to be close I'd have thought. still rubbed on the bonnet slightly come to think of it. haven't looked under mine to confirm its possible but what about reprofiling the cross member and then slotting the mounts?

spacers between exhaust manifolds and turbos that drop the turbos downwards? seen this done before to good effect - keeps stock plumbing, dumps etc.

Excellent condition done about 10,000 Km of road driving. Shocks only, no springs. $920, well below replacement cost. No low balls please.
