Had mine written off

If you can buy the wreck at a good price (assuming most of the components are Ok) you could get yourself an RS4T and transfer all the good bits over.

ow unlucky, hopefully just a seal and you havent sent an exhaust wheelll through the works.

spent yesterday arvo, and all day today cleaning the InsIDE of my car. took off all the seals, cleaned and conditioned them, cleaned all the doors and door jams, sunroof seals etc, hit all the furry stuff with upholstery cleaner.....it was an epic battle. also relocated the gizmo EBC from out of the glove box where it was rattling around, to just under the headunit. need to hook up a kill switch in the event that i get pulled over, but looks trick.

next weekend it will be exterior, and weekend after that, engine bay and underbody - but i'm slowly getting there! it'll be mint once its done.

question, does anyone have trouble with the rear sunroof not sealing up? it looks like the rear edge of mine could go up another 2-3mm - and i reckon it's letting water in. it tends to fog after a wash with the high pressure hose? tried to manually wind it a bit further, but wouldnt budge.

smokey... ive had this drama with mine b4.. passenger side at the rear, or the rear sunroof??

a guy on here put a little plate in his to hold it up... as theres no adjustment for close height as far as im aware... if there is its maxxed out.

do a search and u will find what im talking bout :D

sounds pretty similar chef. mine is on the drivers rear, and it's not letting water into the car - but there is enough of a gap for me to tell that it would be sending water down the guttering rather than letting the seal do it's work.

i found this: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104404-leaky-body-sunroof-2.html

sounds like what you're talking about, did you do the same on yours??

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
