Well, as soon as you fix 1 problem you get another 1! :bananaman AHHHH! :bananaman

At low speeds my car seems to sqeak! i'm not sure whether it's coming from the brake or the steering? it usually happens under braking while i'm turning into driveways and such? I've recently had my wheels balanced and aligned and i'm due for a service.

Anyone got any ideas!? :grouphug:

does it happen when you brake and/or turn without going up a gutter /driveway etc?

If it seems to mainly happen when going up a driveway, or over a speed hump etc.. could be something to do with the suspension, what does the squeek sounds like?

Does it sound like a bolt/nut undo'ing from being really tight?

if so maybe a nut/bolt not tight enough etc... play around with it, see if you ca narrow it down.

check your brakes as the stock pads will have scratch tabs on them so when you brake lightly or turn they squeak to alert you need a pad change. Also, if the pads are ok, try shoving a garden hose onto the disc/caliper and give them a good wash out. This will get rid or the built up brake dust which can also cause squeaks. The tabs should squeak louder in reverse. also don't do the hose thing when the brakes are hot. make sure the car has sat for a while.

yeah, as the suspension is not used to being that low when they jack it up so it can drag in all the dirt around the bush and it's usually the upper control arm inner bush, I've had to do mine and two of my mates twice now. It sounds like there's a DJ with a turntable under your car.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.

      Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
