and rick... i reckon it is a top idea to stay on street tyres....

the street machines white 32 is faster on streets than on slicks due to the fact that with slicks there is NO wheelspin in a 4WD and the motor bogs badly! with street tyres and Altessa there is a nice balance between slip and grip and they go HARD on street tyres.... although a big Exhaust system on that monsta would be a help..... and a HKS 30/37 Kit...... and a Trust Fuel rail....... and Microtech computer..... wait where were we..... yes stay with the street tyres... you'll be quicker and save yourself $$$ when you break stuff....

however 2WD is a different kettle of fish.....

the day that Squizz gets slicks (and a piston.... he he) is the day he runs 11's cause the morose slide states that it is and therefore it will....

and matt if you can go fast as a GTR on street tyres in a VL on STREET TYRES.... i'll give you the silvia to drive cause you must be a gun driver.... all fast 2WD cars run slicks... and that's not cause they are gay... it is cause they want to go fast.... I wish I had enough horsepower to require slicks...

so who is going to the next Day night major anyway....

it looks like it should be a top field with all the brissy guys coming up....

I'll probably come to be embarrased by some real gtr's but I was hoping to get more boost and dump pipes and cat removal by then but now some scumbag keyed the gtr while I was at the movies and of course i parked where the camera can't see, I thought they had more than one.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
