Guys...

the front end of my car has knackered itself.

It's in Flemington at the moment and the guy reckons it's really bad and he has to freight the parts to Sydney to the companies other workshop and then... the 'might' be able to fix it but won't know till it get's up there.

Can anyone recommend a place (western side prefered)... or is there someone here that knows what they are doing to help me out?

He said the earliest would be end of next week for my car and he'll charge me while the car is sitting on his hoist :(

So if someone can help it would be much appreciated!

it will be worth a few slabs at the least.

Now that is rough! I'd already be taking it somewhere else. Get it towed - like megs said its not too expensive. I had to do it once I think it was like $60 for 15km or something.

Suspension or steering problem ?

do you know what has given up? like which part(s)?

Something to do with the sleeve inside the strut leg has gone... and the shocker bolts into the bottom of it. Hence the terrible noise it gives out

make sense? NFI !!

Basically the didn't come standard like that he reckons and that it was done to turn it into a coilover ?!?

Does that help anyone?

yep...what I *think* has happened...

they have used a threaded sleeve onto stock strut...some people

hold up the sleeve by welding it onto the strut, while others will cut a groove around the strut and put some kinda clip to hold up the sleeve, sounds like your bolt has allowed the sleeve to slide all the way down???

Just a guess....

hhmmm... my car doesn't have one of those 'packages'...

being 15 years old and what have you nobody knows....

so i'm just gonna get GT to send them to sydney and hope like crazy the can repair what i have... if not... should be interesting what happens!

so i'm getting the bushes done also, no point not while it's in pieces

    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
