Hey all!

I live around Narre Warren and i was wondering where is the best place to get my car fixed? The issue was that in the wet goin around a roundabout at 15/25km max with my mates wheels (cheap tyres, I had no idea plus my inexpirience on wet. Me being a red P Plater) I pretty much went straight and smacked the curb on a bit of an angle... the rims have some scratch to it but this happend:

It bent that part of it (I dont no the name for it)...

So can anyone point me in the right direction? My car is a 1998 R34 25GT if that helps...

How much would i expect to get it fixed, I got cash to fix it so i dont want to go dodgy...

What other models are compatible to look into just getting the part? Is there any aftermarket parts (I dont mind upgrading some of the suspension if needed because I will be getting coilovers in the near future and ill be doing it anyways) ?

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a sense of deja vu looking @ that pic...

Almost certain i've seen the exact one recently somewhere else

As for getting it fixed. Simple as ringing someone in the workshops listing

If you are brave guy then its easy to fix yourself. Jus post in the Wanted to buy section an add asking for a standard from ront left castor rod for an R34GTT. Its 3 bolts and easy to change over.

BUT, i suggest you take it a professional so they can check all the other arms and ensure nothing else is bent

Mate go down to a wrecker and ask for the parts otherwise find someone wrecking an r34. Then its a matter of driving to almost any place that does repairs and tell them to fit it.

BTW hold off on the coil overs, its not going to make the car turn better just make u try and drive quicker around a corner. Use the stock suspension to the limit and then upgrade, u will benefit a lot more.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
