on the weekend i went drifitng and managed to do the front LHS (passenger side) lower control arm/sway bar and also the stabilizer arm (i brok eem right off). Went to the local import halfcut place and found out these were the same identical to the r32 gtst ones and got em for 300 bux.

I also noticed teh tie rods were also teh same size as well.

Hahahahaha!  I didnt find that funny until you quoted it!  HAHAH!  Classic, made my day!

hahaha.. yeah was funny till i coulnt counter steer in time (lack of damn power steering didnt return the steering wheel in time) and my car landed on the kerb. :skull:

The undercover copper was right there when i drifted around the bend. He saw the whole thing. HAHAHA

CC rocks around the corner behind me to find the car on the kerb.

Told him it was a "mechanical failure" that i somehow managed to go sidewayz around the bend at 70km/h in peak traffic and land on the bend. Still he was a top bloke thou let us go. Heck he had no proof anywayz.

Lol ceffo -

you have a bad memory :tool: :P

He suggested that "noone else was involved, no property damaged, if you can get it towed I dont have to call highway patrol."

He was a top bloke and had PLENTY of proof. ie. copper being a witness is as good as 5 witnesses.

You're just downplaying how lucky you was.. if it had been me I would have been getting butt****ed right now. :whip:

Either way I'm glad it ended how it did now we can live another day and-

bahahaham funny stuff.

A fair few months back we went drifting in an industrial estate in brissie. We had been hitting this truck turn around (hairpin) all night. I got a tad ****y, came out of it and kept trying to go from side to side up the street, ended up in a ditch on the side of the road.

Cops came and i said, my car broke down and i forgot to put my handbrake on and it rolled down the hill. He tried the "you can tell me mate, i am a car enthusiast as well, except i like v8's" I kept to my word and we got our names recorded and I was left to feel sorry for myself in peace!!!!!

Funny stuff!!! But my poor lil onevia need a bit of cosmetic work after that! lol, still needs some

Copied & Paste this from NS.com

s13 tierods are 12mm, and the shortest of the lot

s14 tie rods are 14mm and are slightly longer, but can be used in s13 but are around 10(ish) mm longer
s15 tierods are 12mm and are longer than s14 for some reason, tried them in a s13 but had monster toe in.
r32 have both 12mm and 14mm tierods, so you need to check before you buy, and SHOULD be the same length as s13

Surprised know one has actually stated that Cefiro's only use M14. Unless you are using an S13 rack of course.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
