  1. actually, first thing to know is that it is very normal to have nasty tramlining with such big tyres on the front....they ill tend to follow the road contours wherever they go. so there will be only so much you can do about that. as for a general alignment, it is the same as any other car for road use. about 1mm toe in and 0.5 camber at the rear, and whatever you get for camber at the front, and toe in to match minimising tyre wear. caster and front camber is not adjustable standard
  2. I heard we ended up going pretty well this weekend, so well done to the team. Plenty of problems but in the end the results came up. And great to see so many people coming up to check out the event too.
  3. what's in there at the moment mate? the stock stuff is not low so you must have something aftermarket already
  4. Now we've got the which way under control you need to look at which end. You need to stiffen up the end opposite to where you have the problem. so for less oversteer you make the front bar stiffer.
  5. I just had to check, my 91 gtr uses the smaller, 45mm one. I didn't know there were 2 sizes either, and I don't know what runs the larger ones
  6. ahh yeah....its damn heavy at 1200kg or was there something else wrong? It would be a shame if the club wasn't maintaining it's asset...
  7. as for ratio, the same screenshot from the manual shows GTR is 4.111 (37/9). r32 gts4 is closer to 4.4 (I don't have the exact teeth count handy), I have swapped one into my GTR it is definitely different. I'm not sure what you have in those 3 cars, but they sure ain't normal.
  8. Detailed pics in this thread, particularly page 7 - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49484-tow-bars-for-stageas
  9. You're in the US, right? wasn't there some weird scam with all the GTRs that went into the country being rebadged fakes or something? In any case, no matter how many of what you have in the yard, all 32 GTRs have 2 way mechanical diffs in them. And if it helps, here's page CH-125 from the gtr workshop manual confirming it has a mechanical rear diff
  10. Well the hazards don't go through the same circuit as the dash (and indicators) so that explains why they work but not the dash. You'll need someone to find the short in the dash ignition power, might take some stuffing around but its not impossible
  11. sounds like whoever wound it back before compliance was a bit hard on it.
  12. well that sucks. hope your insurance sorts it out properly.
  13. looks like the 34 gtst part is 55154-30P01, so not the same as 32 GTR. And yes they suck to change on the car so allow for the labour cost to remove and replace the hubs....may be worth checking or doing other bushes at the same time
  14. this is c34, right? if so the s2 climate control has the same plug but different pinout to series 1.....yes I know because I bought the wrong one years ago Also, again assuming it is c34, I have a link to the Japanese service manual, if you want it just pm me your email
  15. yeah OK from that description probably the bit you have circled. I would not assume the ebay listing for 32 gtr matches 34 gtt unless you have seen confirmation on here or in a catalogue somewhere. If you want to pm me or someone else with FAST your VIN number we can check if it is the same part as 32 gtr (55154-30P00) Nissan definitely have them, ironically I bought some for my 32 gtr the other week. more expensive than your ebay listing though. BTW unless they are seriously f**ked most places would not notice some extra play in those joints....you could always take it somewhere else.
  16. need circles on your pic mate, the description is not specific enough to be sure. also, the ebay listing has 3 pics of different parts, all of which are for 32 gtr (and I wasn't aware you could get the ball joint at the end of the tie rod anywhere except genuine Nissan).
  17. oh yeah good point....keep it registered. much easier to pay rego and get a pink slip when you need to than to go through all the blue slip / re-rego stuff in a year.
  18. well yes, I agree they change more than road tyres with usage....but that's no reason not to start with a balanced tyre! it's more an argument to balance them again later if they start to vibrate
  19. Wheel spacers are not the devil, although 8mm is pretty large. The relevant question is how much wheel stud do you get to put the nut on. Since the studs are M12 you should be looking for at leas 12mm of stud in the nut
  20. can't see why you'd want to drain the fuel either....if the lines are empty they and the various o rings etc are more likely to perish. one thing I would suggest is a low tank of fuel that you fill fresh when your are running again, and of course an oil change when you get back as well.
  21. having let cars not running all the time, I'd disconnect the battery positive and walk away happily.
  22. Matt...on the form! Eric...thanks, awesome.
  23. Hi guys, my member card expired last December and I will need either a current club card or letter confirming I am a member next weekend for Nulon round 2. I sent my form across last week with a note it is urgent but have not received acknowledgement or the new card yet. Please help.
  24. lol thanks pete, you still got your eyes on those tasty rims?
