Pretty sure thats my 'odd one out' (my only half decent tyre)

Ecsta SPT KU31...does a good job. Just have to replace the other 3 cheap Fullrun compliance tyres lol

please tell me you're not running the odd tyre on the front passenger wheel on a GTR.

Front driver side. Given that one of the tyres I HAD pretty much popped just before i hit eastlink a few months ago...i kinda had to replace the piece of shit. make matters worse the stupid japanese battery then died and i had to pay almost 200 for the only battery that would fit...and a further 10 to change the terminals to fit... it ended up being almost 500 on just a tyre and a battery in the week where i didnt get paid. so...bite me for having to do what i had to to get the car going again rather than replacing all four :(:P

what type of battery? bit steep for a normal one

i just got quoted $300 for an optima one (has like gel inside istead of water and gives heaps of cca)

its sort of longer and flatter rather than taller. Its called a FullRiver? meant to be really good for running excessive car audio and shit. was about 180. needed something that could fit in the battery cavity...especially given we had no tools at all to take the rear strut brace off...

so...bite me for having to do what i had to to get the car going again rather than replacing all four :(:P

lol way to overreact. as long as it's not the passenger one, it's where the anti slip sensor is most sensitive and usually something like a good tyre on that compared to three shagged tyres will make your GTR constantly think you're doing epic skids.

part of the reason we opted to have it towed rather than try the epically shit spare they give you. for one its based off of the 17" stockies, the car is currently running 18x9.5...so the spare was smaller. didnt wanna chance it. had total cover with RACV at the time as well, luckily :( free towing ftw!

What's happening tonight?

Is it just me... or does it seem like everyone drives like a dickhead on fridays? I had 2 commodores and a 7 series beamer muck around (on the freeway no less) while I was driving >.<

shan i will hit you up when i need tyres, it seems because my car had been sitting for probably about a year + not doing anything in japan there is some small cracks in the tyres.. traction tyres suggested to get it replaced ASAP but kinda thinking they just want me to spend more money there.. as they are really only small cracks I might take some pics.

Anyways cheers all for the info :mad:

EDIT:

BC COILOVERS FTMFW, sooo much less bumpy then my brutal teins were, they feel sooo much better for a daily driver and no knock ftw.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
