Marko R1

here are some pics - is this a spherical bearing or pillow joint bearing - i have nfi

i took the rear coilovers out, removed the springs & its definitely not the shock itself - i could push it in all the way & when it extends to the top there is no movement at all i couldnt really get the top bearings to make noise as they tight - it is like a round bearing which sits inside a bearing cylinder...is this what ppl refer to as pillow ball joint? is it normal for them to make a bit of noise as i have heard that these can be noisy & maybe not ideal for the street... anyway, i took accurate measurements with my vernier & it all measures in metric (mm). where the hell do i find replacement bearings now?

lol - i went to take the rear wheel off & 4 of the 5 wheel nuts were not tight...the noise was the rim rubbing against the disc hub, explains why it got progressivel worse on the last drive

hi all, i am after the Lower Dash Fascia Surround (i already this in black & im after the later model grey wrinkly finish) for my R32 GTR. complete with ashtray please here is a pic so you know what i am talking about... i am based in sydney if that helps regards marko 0405336843

fibreglass or carbon is ok

exactly - so if i take the spring out, i think i can simulate the sound of the top bearing by wiggling it around with sharp movements, that is, if the noise is coming from the top bearing as the seller of the car told me that he had the coilovers rebuilt not long ago

ok - if you're referring to the shock itself, can i push it down once the spring is out? i did this with my koni shocks & factory gtr shocks a while ago, just need to apply body weight & it eventually collapses

i have a spring compressor kit

not as yet duncan - i know what u mean about brake pad riding the disc but also odd that it still makes the sound at 60kmh all check disc pads & adjustment on hand brake drum pads

thanks richard - i'll pull them out & check out where the noise is coming from once i remove the tension from the coilover (i.e. take out spring) then i'll have a good idea where the noise is coming from exactly

yeah i dropped my subframe from car stands as well - easy to take out but i wouldn't attempt changing the bushes without the right tools

hi guys, my gtr has developed a funny noise & i can hear this when i drive, regardless of speed...if i push the car slowly in the garage i can also hear the noise so its not related to loading the driveline & its definitely coming from the rear left wheel. to me it sounds like its coming from the wheel bearing as it kind of sounds like its travelling thru the brake disc itself. best way to describe it, sounds like a 'RIRIRI' @ high speed & low speed its more of a crackly sound, similar to when u rub your hands together when they are dry & the slip shutters with a noise (dont know how else to explain) any pointers or ideas?

i cant remember what the seller told me tbh - it was either imperial or metric in size all the rest of the suspension is stock. i actually jumped in the boot whilst my brother was driving slow over bumps & 100% u can feel the knock thru the top of the coilover itself travelling through (its only a slight knock but enough to drive Are you positively annoyed friend?), now whether its the top hat spherical bearing or something else, i'd like to determine this myself & if i cant find the source of noise i'd need to take the coilovers to a suspension specialist

hi guys, i am running ohlins coilovers in my r32gtr & have noticed a small knock when i drive over small bumps. ive been told they are spherical bearings which sit in the top hat...does this sound right? if so, what is my best option to source these bearings as 'apparently' they are imperial & not metric in size, which makes them hard to get. thanks.

that must be it - got my wires crossed AGAIN

how do rb25 engines fit with 26 covers & not the other way around? is there clearance issues with the cams?
