  1. In my experience its because i have put rims on that have too big an offset (+30 in my case)which changes the roll centre of your car, basically when u hit a bump, instead of the tyre moving straight up and down over the bump , the wheel will roll around the bump, tugging on the steering in the process. Maybe getting a bit of extra toe in when u get a wheel alignment will help the car track straight and turn into corners a bit better. May have adverse effect on tyre wear though.
  2. 4 dr side skirts are still for sale as are the Cusco castor rods, all the rest is gone..
  3. Standard sway bar and one thermo fan sold, everything else still for sale.
  4. I have the same sound and i have fitted a brake master cylinder stopper to my R32. It didn't go away. If you find out let me know. Do you have ABS? Is it leaking?
  5. I have R33 GTR wheels on an R32 gtst with 245/45 rubber, standard-ish ride height with stiffer shocks & springs, i had to get rears rolled (not lipped) and have had no scrubbing what so ever. Front is a different story..... 245's on the front, standard guards untouched, only when i hit a big dip or bump does it slightly scuff something on the tyre, it hasn't chopped sidewalls (I cannot see any damage what so ever to the tyre's), i use to have a pair of tyre's on the front with worn shoulders and it never scrubbed once over anything. Tyre's rubbing shouldn't be your main concern, just slap 235's maximum on them and you should be fine with standard-ish ride height. (My 245's stick out front the guards at the front and would probably be deemed unroadworthy, next set of tyres are going to be 235's) I would worry about the +30 offset rims effecting your roll centre and what it does to your steering & suspension. +30 changes your roll centre and steering becomes more 'darty' over ruts and divets on the road. (each front wheel wants to roll around bumps instead of travelling up and down over them). This means constant corrections have to be made to keep it going straight. 12 months have past with the wheels on and i have had to replace steering rack bushes from all the extra movement in the rack. Other bushes at the front have probably been prematurely worn because of the wheels. They look fat and grip great on the twisties and track but are very compromised on the road. More solid steering rack bushes at the front have helped quite a bit but I wouldn't recommend +30 offset on a car that has to be driven daily in the city unless you like the steering wheel jumping out of your hands. Just my 2 cents
  6. I will measure them up and sent u a quote this weekend.... What other 4 door specific parts are u after??
  7. just to correct a few mistakes (how the hell do u make a donation so u can edit yours posts??) The roll cage is for a 4-Door R32 and wont fit a 2-door And the front lower control arm is a RHS one not left . WHOOPS!!! My mistake sorry Russ!! Both of these are still for sale..

  10. Standard R32 fuel pump, taken out of low Km car SOLD
  11. For those that have asked: JIC shortened R32 front upper arms are 155mm between centres compared to 180mm stock, not sure how many degrees camber change it gives.
  12. JJR Style R32/R33 split dump pipe turbo back, stainless steel, woven wrap fibreglass heat shield only a few months old, stainless steel ties, high temp paint on woven wrap to prevent corrosion. (over $150 worth of fibreglass wrapping from the states)Decreased under bonnet temps . 3 wire O2 sensor included in working condition, tested with multimeter voltage very quick to react Brand new heat shield for oil/water & turbo return lines, sized to fit single turbo RB motor but has many applications. 2 x 1000mm both sold

  14. Could be alternator, is it an R32?
  15. Nah the cage isn't bent, the bars are made like that on both sides so that they are below the level of the seats (so your hip doesn't rub against them) across the drivers & passengers doors & don't obstruct you getting in and out of the car, I may have pictures fitted somewhere if you are interested, PM me your postcode so i can quote you for freight. Thanks
  16. All PM's replied to i think so if you are waiting for reply and i haven't then let me know, i am losing track of who sent what, too many items psoted at a time..
  17. To reply to everyone's queries, the impul sway bar is only 24-25mm dia. so i don't think it would greatly bigger than standard. Also i am almost positive that i won't fit a GTR,
  18. bushes are for either 24mm or 27mm dia. sway bar, i can only guarantee the hole centres for the 'D' shackles will line up for the front sway bar on a R32, being a nissan though, most likely it will fit on the rear sway bar also but i cannot guarantee it.
  19. Cleanout of parts that i have accumulated over the years, will accept PayPal , direct dep. Or COD, will post at buyers expense, i have weights & dimensions for most things, people are welcome to get their own quote, i will package, but don’t expect anything flash. ALL OFFERS CONSIDERED!!

  20. Yeah thanks Matt I have read the whole thread, i had no grand illusions that the 2530 would flow any better with an extra 500cc of capacity, I am simply contributing my experience with that turbo, and its with its ability to hold boost at the top end. I think my boost drop is excessive and NOT normal and if there is any post to to put it out there for other people's advice I thought this would be it, sorry not trying to hijack thread.
