So after blowing the gearbox I thought f**k this, and ripped it out. 25det to go in!

I did some stuff tonight as it hasn't been so hot, removed the p/s rack, bushes were shagged!

Cleaned the engine bay and removed about what I think is close to 1kg of dirt / grime / sand / rubber / crap from the cross-member.

Stuff going in -

Reconditioned rack (basically new) with lock spacers fitted

nolathane rack bushes

solid steering coupling from gktech.

This combined with the rose jointed rack ends, should feel like new.

Prep wash ftw.

New steering in, reco'd rack, nolathane rack bushes, solid steering spacer, that mixed in with my rose jointed tie rod end junk should be sick!

  • 6 months later...

Been a while, not sure who will read this but thought I'd update with some pics of progress n that.

So I got a s1 rb25, overhauled all seals so rear main, crank, cam seals. Did water pump and put on gates timing belt + new tensioner / idler, painted covers, replaced all heater hoses all that kind of junk. Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking.

Had it tuned and the car made 209.8rwkw on around 13.5psi bleeding off to around 13 - 12.8 due to rb25 actuator, short runners let it down a bit in the mid range but i have the solution.. further on in this thread.

So I took her out to round 2 of g1, some piccies.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
