hi everyone im in need of some help please.

first of all when it comes to suspension i dont really know much at all so here it goes:

i have an r34gtr and i have been told i need new tie rods or tie rod ends and i cant find any for a r34gtr.

now my next question is that i need some caster rods and i got some but was told they are the wrong ones and they are for a r34 gtt so does anyone have a pic of an r34gtr caster rod?

now my last question, now if you follow from the front tyre and go inwards towards the middle of the car you see where it joins up by a bolt or something and thats where i have noticed a leak, so is that the caster arm or something?

thanks.

scott.

Castor arms for 34 GTR's is a pain. Every idiot who sells them online states they are the same across all Skylines and even S1x cars... I can tell you they are not. They are a wishbone shaped design. Have a look underneath, easy to see that they are a V shape. I wanted to upgrade mine and couldn't find any options - but there should be some offset bushes out there...

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.

      Wont start unless i have the pedal to the floor

      Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.

      It actually means give it less throttle.

      Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
