Hi mate, you will end up with a lot betterand cheaper result by just selling your car and buying a manual. There are plenty of manual r33 gtst to choose from.

I guess that failure is directly related to one or more big hits. I have never seen one break like that either. The most common failure I've seen other than bent arms is the inner mount for the arm ripping off (upper or lower), they are probably worth reinforcing.

I took mine for skids, it went OK for a tow car including a quickest time on one course. All good infact, until Ryan beat me in the white stage battle run! Good driving mate

Great work today by all the volunteers for a very smoothly run event. Entries and admin, scruitineering, course setup, bbq, course changes, time keeping, course changes, cleanup, and of course the huge bands of rubber collectors making sure we are welcome again next time. And of course the random, unexplained guy holding a large silver sunshade over people's heads in the morning, very handy. I had a very fun day, couldn't have had more different cars than the Leaf and Stagea, but they both ended up with very similar times.

just be carfeul mate, there are multiple pinouts based on your ECU within the C34 series 1. Check the V00 at the end of the ECU's part number, I am pretty sure this diagram (and the one in the japanese workshop manual that is floating around) only cover v00. The plug is physically the same as an R34 GTT, and I understand the C34 Series 2 might be an exact match for R34 GTT pinouts too (ie plug and play)

I used these guys for the race car: http://metropolitandriveshafts.com.au/ Excellent driveshaft, no issues with years of use, expensive. Who supplied the carbon one that failed? Pretty poor to have the bonding fail (twice)

I'm sure you are kidding, but its pretty f**king poor taste. Why not volunteer for the committee and help run the club http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/421957-2013-14-exec-nominations/#entry6789196

that video is classic. can't help noticing it was a very soft bolt he was drilling in to. good to hear it worked for you, might give one a try next time, a broken easy out is the world's most annoying problem, and it only ever happens where you can't get to it easily.

you need to consider how you will mount it. a boss kit adds about 10cm a quick release adds about 8cm more. In my case, flat was definately required. when you sit in the car is the stock steering wheel in the right place compared to the seat and pedals? generally a good adjustment has your seat comfortable to the brake pedal when pushed all the way to the floor, then you should adjust the steering column or seat back so that your wrists rest on the wheel with your arms straight (ie your hands can hang down behind the wheel)

we can do it on the day if you want, let me know and I'll bring a jack. I've had my shaft off since the dyno day about 2 months ago

What a unique build! Good luck with it What do you know about the competition history of the car? You should consider bringing it back as close to the original rally spec as possible, it is likely to be worth more that way

it is essential for teh 4wd system, generally it has to be relocated in manual conversions. keep it near the centre of the car, and flat, level and square with the car. depending which console you will use there tends to be space at the rear of the console

me either, yet. But I am certain it will turn up in due time, it can take a lot of volunteer time to organise an event like this

seriously. phones can do apps now?

I was wondering that I was missing I understand there are ways to read the forums from your phone....on android it works fine through the supplied browser. I'm not sure what Steve Jobs lets you have on an iphone?

also, can you put a 7 after your number so you can be leet?

sure am going to be there, wouldn't miss it

lol....check out an IPRA rx7 one day if you like that

Motul RBF600....buy it from a bike store, for some reason it always seems to be 20% cheaper there than from car stores.

wierd. doesn't everyone have a rusty old $2 spanner set lying around for cutting up to create special service tools??

great news, good work guys

haha great work, that is a cool tool

My understanding is that there was a very late model R32 GTS which had an rb25de (not an rb25det)...so it's probably not useful.
