  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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...
  4. 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.
  5. Detailed pics in this thread, particularly page 7 - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49484-tow-bars-for-stageas
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. sounds like whoever wound it back before compliance was a bit hard on it.
  9. well that sucks. hope your insurance sorts it out properly.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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).
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. having let cars not running all the time, I'd disconnect the battery positive and walk away happily.
  19. Matt...on the form! Eric...thanks, awesome.
  20. 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.
  21. lol thanks pete, you still got your eyes on those tasty rims?
  22. hang on, do you mean: "along with the return of the previous rule in relation to Classic competition wheel sizes, which will come into effect immediately after this year’s Targa Tasmania. " because that wouldn't affect early modern? detail from the regs: 59. Wheels Wheel make and construction are free provided they meet the load carrying capabilities of the vehicle. The following size allowances apply to the standard wheel size available for the model of vehicle not including any options or variants. Modern SS and Showroom Wheel diameters may be varied by a maximum of plus or minus 1” Modern LMS and M S Wheel diameters and width may be varied by a maximum of plus or minus 2” Classic SS and All Specifications from 3rd May 2015 Wheel diameters and width may be varied by maximum of plus or minus 2” to a maximum size of 17” diameter and 8” wide unless the original wheel is larger in diameter and/or width in which case the original wheel size shall be the maximum size. Classic LMS and MS until 3rd May 2015 Maximum wheel size is 17” in diameter and 8” wide unless original wheel size is larger in diameter and/or width in which case the original wheel size shall be the maximum size. So I think it hasn't changed for me. BTW looks like Steve may have a problem: The following vehicle types will not be granted entry into the Modern or Showroom category: • Vehicles made by one manufacturer and then modified and re–tuned and released as a derivative of the original car under another name are not permitted.
  23. ahh, you mean the "good news you can have certainty there are no rules changes for the next three years" rules? Thanks for mentioning because that would save me a heap of trouble....I can just run 33 gtr wheels and everyone comes back to my size
  24. lol for once I think Pete's onto something
