Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

I was coming from Tharwa Drive (Theodore). I can understand not kicking back to 1st in the 33, just everyone else that cuts me off going through that roundabout gives me the shits cause (esp in the wet), thats a slippery corner and the subie's grip levels aren't the best even at low speed. I just don't want to hit anyone.

I was actually watching you closely with the window down to hear if there was any 'sustained loss of traction' happening :):thumbsup:

hahaha, yeah...it's a shit intersection :thumbsup: but nah, that's not my kinda corner, ESPECIALLY with traffic around, to skid in the wet....I much prefer turning left off Hindmarsh onto Canberra Ave in 2nd....then into 3rd....then gain traction and coast down to work in 4th...though again, not with traffic :) lol

Had a dream day of skyline spotting today and thought I'd just have to share. First I saw a gun-metal R33 GTST turn onto Canberra avenue off the Monaro Highway Fyshwick, followed moments later by a black R32 GTR on Barrier St. Then as I was walking to my car on Lyell Street after work, a midnight purple (possibly black,it was overcast :P) R34 GTR drove past, very impressive.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
