What tires are you using atm?

2k..

f/r adjustable swaybars - 500

second hand lsd - say 800

aggressive street wheel alignment + corner weighting - $350

Strip the car (start with boot and rear) depending on personal preference/usage - free

Bit of money left over for install help if you cant diy/some replacement bushes.

Depending on how low it is, you might not need adjustable sussy arms etc. The factory stuff gives a small range of adjustment and is generally enough to do an aggressive street setup if the car's not too low (check the bushes condition though).

have just got a bride cuga for driver and r33 gtr passenger seat :)

now getting sway bars and stripping :)

can't find an LSD for under a grand though :(

Just keep an eye out for the LSD, it''ll pop up sooner or later!

Did you get adjustable sway bars ? As because you are stripping the car, it will obviously affect f/r weight balance and also weight/force on each end's tires affecting grip/oversteer/understeer and the adjustable sway bars will come in handy for correcting it your personal preference/driving style along with pressure changes in f/r tires.

Wow that was poorly worded but it's friday night and i can't be arsed to recycle it into something better closedeyes.gif

Nice one on the seats! Luckily for me i have found my stocko 33 seats to be really good for me (probably because i'm sized like a typical japanese man lol).

I like duncan's suggestion too lol.

yea, whiteline adjustables, for the swaybars.

Is the carpet in r32s one piece? I think the wife would appreciate the front for now but I don't want rear passengers.

how much weight does the sound deadening add? I don't wanna work all day for like .75kg lol

you think i should stick to the stock diff atm and buy camber arms/ trailing arms etc

yea thats lucky with your seats...my drivers side was rooted (side bolster as usual) and the passenger had no back panel (some random ripped it off, grrr)

      Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.

      Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
