Hi all. Got myself a r32 gtst and during the inspection the mechanic said that the front wheel bushes (i think thats what he said) were worn and needed replacing and the air con needed regassing as it was not cold at all.

So anyone can recommend me any workshops that do these? I should also be getting the car serviced (check oil, check for leaks and stuff) at that workshop at the same time (scared of car dying on me while i'm driving in the middle of nowhere :Oops: ) since I'm there.

Thanks for any "positive" inputs :P

And by the way my rear wheel tyre threads are getting very thin and I will need to change my rear tyres my friend told me to go tempe tyres should i go there? Just seeking more suggestions from fellow forummers.

:D

I've been there heaps, and Grey Imports in Annandale do great work :)

Ask for Nathan, but you might need to call first they are pretty busy atm 9557 5938

BTW it is probably wheel "bearings" that were noisy and need replacing

And yes Tempe can be very cheap but for gods sake don't buy the Falken 326 they always sell, they are terrible tyres

It's cos if you're fully sick FALKENS ARE SICK BRO...

I wish I got money every time I have to explain people brands can have different tyre models and they look at me like a dumbass and reply "I've heard falkens are good" or whatever other brand their mechanic sells.

PS. When my driverside bearing was buggered (as it was tightened too tight by some retard before I got the car) it only ground (grinded?) when I turned the car one way - this may give you a clue.

      What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
