yeah I wouldn't plan to be parking there. it will be surrounding streets basically whatever you can find. maybe do some skyline car-pooling? :P

dontfeelcold and silhouette are in.

Hi all

Looking for a bit of help, and was wondering whether anyone who has a R34 GTT (preferable) or R33 GTST with SydneyKids group buy kit installed, could give me a quick ride in their car (passenger of course, but if you're willing, driver is also okay).

I wanted to see first hand how the setup deals with crap roads, bumps and so forth.

I am not so concerned with handling because I know it is already top notch, so dont need to be shown how well it corners and so forth.

Can anyone possibly assist? It would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

Hey all,

Firstly a quick intro...

The names Jonathon and i work in the motorsport and development division of Bilstein Australia, which is located within Heasmans.

Thanks for the interest you guys have shown in the night so far. It will be good to see you all come along and pick our brains and check out our facilities and what we do.

One thing Beer Baron hasnt mentioned is that there will be a BBQ dinner for all the SAU members attending. This is included in the night so theres no cost! :(

As for parking, there is limited parking available both out the front and behind. I would recommend coming down the lane at the back as the driveway from the princes hwy is a front spoiler killer. You can also park on the grass out the back if you can get your car up the small gutter.

Anyway, see you all there tomorrow night. :P

Cheers,

Jono

Thanks Jono, I should have mentioned it, but it either slipped my mind, or I think last time I spoke to Neil we hadn't confirmed what we were doing exactly bbq wise.

i finish work at 7ish, would get there at around 730 or just after, would this be a problem?

Even though the skyline has a complete setup from Heasmans looks like i might have to drive the swift because one injector on the line isnt firing properly..

or should i burble it down there and hopefully get some advice, get it looked at in general?

Thanks

Ed

they wont be looking at peoples cars to give specific advice. it's just a general info session. so yeah it doesn't matter if you come by skyline, swift, scooter or skateboard.

I have 3/4 of the kit in 33 gtst

the shocks, springs, sway bars and front castor

If we have time can take you for a test drive, I'll drive though :thumbsup:

    • TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.
    • Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.
    • Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).
    • Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.
