Lupes

Was from Repco, that was trade price too. You've actually got me thinking now, I can't remember if they were a touch over $800 or $850. Anyways, in that case I'll say $800 for the pair.

Bump.

Hey guys, considering selling these rotors I bought for my red car a while ago. They are DBA 5000 series 2-piece slotted rotors, 324mm x 30mm. These are made to suit Brembo calipers, HOWEVER I can include brackets which bolt to your struts to allow you to use R33 GTS-t calipers instead. The rotors use a aluminium top hat to which the outer section of the rotor bolts to. The advantages of this are things like even expansion of the rotor, less heat transfer to your wheel bearings/hubs under repeated hard braking (spirited/track driving) and overall a lighter rotor when compared to a standard style rotor, which reduces unsprung weight. Also the hats won't rust because they are painted aluminum, so they'll always look good lol. Anyway, looking for $850 for the rotors (this is what I paid probably 6 months ago, and the closest these things have come to a car is a test fit under my wheels to check clearance) Will sell the rotors and brackets for 1k. The brackets SHOULD fit R32-on with no issues (seller whom I bought them from has used them on R32's with no issues) R31 and before, you will have to swap your struts left to right as the bracket fouls on the steering arm, unless you have S13 gear in the front. Anyway, enough talk, moar pics. Only got one, I lost my phone before I had a chance to upload the picture behind my wheels. I'm not in any hurry whatsoever to sell these. Planning a trip to Europe so the money would be good, but I'm not negotiable on price, I waited well over a month for these to be made, and paid what I'm asking for them. If they don't sell I'll use them eventually. Preferably message me on 0430 285 717, don't get a lot of time to check back here so that will be your best bet. Cheers, Josh

It has flaws, I'll try to name as much as I can here; - A/C compressor leaks, I've lived with it, I was going to pull it all out, up to you - Rear bushes make funky noises, probably something to do soon, would remove HICAS at the same time - Front wheels could do with re-rolling, gives a mild shake at around 80 - 100km, again, I've just dealt with it. There's also a bit of clear coat peel on the centres, hasn't bothered me - Both rear inner CV boots are split - Extension housing seal on the gearbox is weeping (have a couple of new seals here, Repco was unsure which it was so I bought both) - Rocker covers have a very minor weep - Power steering rack is leaking and both rack boots are split (have new rack boots, will need a new rack eventually though or a rebuild) - Biggest one, paint, really not too good on the bonnet, boot and tops of the 1/4 panels. I've had a look in the front 1/4's and haven't seen a lot of rust, although there is a little bit developing near the spoiler - Brake fluid needs a change - Cigarette burn in drivers seat, I never notice it because I have a seat cover on it since I bought it I'm as honest as I can be when it comes to selling cars, I've been f**ked over and I hate it, so I will answer any question you can throw at me the best I can. People know how I look after this thing, serviced every 3 months regardless of km (usually 2,500 or so) using genuine filter and Elf synthetic oil. I've done all of my own work on this since I've owned it, and spent probably near on 4k since owning it, and I purchased it originally for 9k. Seriously the most reliable car I've ever owned, never missed a beat, runs really smooth, albeit a little rich. Ideally I'd go a Nistune and probably get some more power out of it. There's probably other things which have been done that I've failed to mention, it should all come to me eventually. 5 stud New LCA's Bay Can sorta see the paint in this one

Hey guys, as stated, chasing a RB25 turbo with lines and outlet elbow ASAP. Best bet is message me on 0430 285 717, I don't get on too often.

Thanks for the offer Linton, I'll keep it in mind. It won't be happening anytime in the immediate future, but down the track I will look into it.

Sooner or later I might, I'm not so good with custom fabrication so when I decide to do something about it, I'll probably just go to a fabrication place and get them to whip something up. I'm not a big fan of things that don't look factory however, ie big shiny aluminium pod enclosures, catch cans etc. We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, I got my caster rods finally last night, chucked them in and adjusted it really roughly using my fingers for the drive to work. Today I aligned it properly, and I've currently got it set to 6 degrees caster on both sides, 0.5 negative camber (not adjustable, yet) and 0 toe. Drives heaps nicer, brakes feel firmer as you would expect after replacing a bush with a rose joint, and the added dynamic negative camber has had a big effect on higher speed cornering, under steers heaps less now, feels better all around really, very happy with them. Money well spent.

Cheers guys. Already have a GTS-R strut brace fitted, quite a bit chunkier than a Whiteline strut brace, and it's a factory item if the cops say anything; By the time I'm finished almost everything in the front will be new, there isn't much to go as it is. Since I've owned it, I've replaced both LCA's, link pins, swaybar link pin and D bushes, the swaybar itself and the wheel bearings. Adjustable caster rods should be here early this week, adjustable camber tops will be coming when money permits, and after that when I find time I'll pull the shocks out, find out what the factory GTS1 cars were set to and send them off to be revalved similar to that. Unfortunately I'm in Adelaide so it will probably cost me $400 - $500 to have the shocks revalved after freight etc.

That's basically the problem. The front just doesn't grip how I would like it to, it's too bumpy and I think the shock is actually doing the opposite of what it should, keeping the tyre on the road. The front inserts are Bilsteins which are "supposed" to be the same specs as the GTS1 Bilsteins were but I'm not so sure. There's been a member of the R31 club with a pair of front inserts that were been around 4 times as stiff as what they're meant to be, so maybe mine have been valved incorrectly as well. Could be a case of the shock being to stiff. The inserts were fairly new when I bought the car, so I'll probably send them away to get revalved as opposed to buying new ones. I don't actually know what spring rate the front springs are, but I'd like to. I've seen the formula for working it out posted somewhere here so I'll go for a look sometime soon. I don't think they're overly stiff, just from watching how much the spring compresses when I let it off the jack (so not a very good measurement lol) I'd prefer to stick to the standard insert type suspension, the only advantage coilovers are going to have is that they are height and damper adjustable, which isn't really a big issue for me. I have solid rear subframe bushes sitting right next to me. Once I've sorted the front end I'll be replacing all the bushes in the rear and fitting my custom swaybar. Should make it feel a lot nicer. Justin, what are rose jointed rack ends? Can't say I've heard of them. My mate with a HR said the same about his alloy steering coupling spacer, that it made it feel more direct and nicer to drive.

I thought the change would be more substantial than it was, but that might just be me having my expectations too high. It doesn't feel stable enough to me through the hills, that's possibly a spring rate or shock issue though, the front end is really stiff to the point where you can hardly move it by hand. Great for smooth roads but get a badly maintained Adelaide road (most of them) and it's really rough. I agree on the rear swaybar, it will be getting one ASAP, there's a group buy about to start for custom 24mm solid rear swaybars for HR coupes so I'm in on that. Some more positive caster will give me a bit more dynamic camber through corners which will hopefully get it a little closer to how I would like it. Yes the wheels may not be legal, or the adjustable caster rods, but spacers are more obvious than either of those to most cops. Bolt on spacers are safer than slip on spacers definitely, but no spacer is even better.

Cheers mate. I don't know a whole heap about the model of rim, all I know is that they are made by Work. Fronts are 17x8 +5 and rears are 17x9 +11. They fit well, and no scrubbing as of yet either which is good. What exactly do you mean by disk? I don't have an Autospoiler but I'd like to get my hands on one, I reckon it would finish the exterior off nicely. It did come factory with one, I have the buttons on the dash and the plugs in the engine bay, just need a pair of motors and the lip itself. I'd like to be able to just get a copy lip and mount it without motors just because it would be easy, but I need it to be able to flip up otherwise I won't make it in my driveway, if I come in at the wrong angle as it is the front bar scrapes. Rear does need to come down a bit, eventually I will replace the KYB shocks with Bilsteins which are height adjustable via the use of a circlip to change the height of the spring seat so I can set it a little lower. In other news, I fitted my 27mm front swaybar tonight, and to be honest I'm a little disappointed, although it might just be the fact I haven't really driven it hard enough to notice a big difference. Don't get me wrong, the front end does feel tighter, and there is noticeably less roll even just driving through the suburbs, I'm hoping the difference through the twisties is greater. When I fit my new link pins tomorrow I'll adjust the bar to the hard setting and see how it feels then.

Ordered an adjustable front swaybar this afternoon as well as new genuine link pins from Nissan. Should see the swaybar tomorrow, and the link pins Wednesday morning. Also paid off my adjustable caster rods tonight as well, should have those by the end of the week.
