Hi,

I'm having problems with my front suspension/steering (makes a grinding noise if i turn the wheel left and sounds clunky over bumps) anyone know what it might be?

Can anyone recommend a place for me to go and get this sorted out...(Sydney)

Does anyone know if UAS deals with these sort of problems?

Thanks,

Joh

griding noise when you turn left? sounds like it might be the right front wheel bearing. How many klm has the car done? really?

Clunky over bumps on the other hand could be something else loose in the front suspension, like the strut itself.

Im sure any reputable import workshop like UAS could sort it out.

sounds pretty much right there Duncan..

but is only when you turn left? the wheel bearing would cause a noise at any point on the wheels travel... or at least when under load on BOTH left and right...

I had a grinding when i turned right and it turned out it was the right wheel bearing - had to get a new hub.

Still trying to work out the other grinds, rattles, bumps etc

Any local mechanic should know what they're doing too, or even a suspension place.

it could have been dirty or grit could have made it into the hub therefore wearing out the bearings..

is there must grease around the bearing on the outside? seal might have gone and it dried out a bit and lost its lubrication..

i've only ever had an issue with a wheel bearing on an HQ race car... so the heat etc made that fail..

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
