  1. Just bought a set of standard shocks & springs for my R32 GTS4. I want to take out my old gear and put this new set in. Can anyone give me any pointers as I've never done this sort of thing before? I am hoping to do this asap so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks
  2. I have 1 in Sydney, Fairfield area if you're still looking. Ph: Zac - 0423 43 53 53
  3. Thanks blind_elk. It is reassuring to know that its not something worth worrying about.
  4. '92 r32 gts4 When cruising at a steady speed, pretty much no matter what speed my torque split needle has started to jump to about 5 percent then back to zero then back up again. My tyres are fine so I doubt it slips in and out of 4wd due to loss of traction. My shocks are stuffed, could that be it? Is there a sensor that causes the switch to 4wd and how do I check/test this? Will removing the 4wd fuse help? I'm a bit confused, any help would be appreciated.
  5. Thanks for the info sydneykid. I'm glad I don't need a (misinformed) engine builder now that I've gone back to stock as a rock. Your info certainly explains why my hks ones wore so quickly, I can only imagine what they did to the tune of my engine.
  6. Thanks mate. Three cheers for BlackR33GT-ST.
  7. I have had HKS items, and I would say from my experience steer clear. They wore down in no time. I think they're made from aluminium or something, thats why they wear faster. I believe Tomei items are stainless steel and so last heaps longer. If someone would like to correct me here these please do. I'd rather know the truth than talk outta my arse, but my HKS experience wasn't a good one (WASTE of MONEY) and what I know I got from my engine builder.
  8. Thanks guys for the info. That kinda rules out the r33gtr rims. I guess thats for the best, tyre cost would have killed me. 17x8's are good enough improvement over the standard rims. Could someone explain WHAT an offset is and HOW they affect what I can put on my car?
  9. I've seen an s13 with 17x9's and it looked fine. Still, don't know about my car. If anyone else has any advice please urgently, I've got to make a choice soon. Thanks
  10. I'm looking at buying rims soon. What size wheel (width) can I fit onto my r32 gts4? I want to get r33 gtr rims (17x9) but are scared they might be too wide.
  11. Veilside r33 recommended Focal speakers and I would have to say I definately agree with him there. Alpine speakers, unless you're buying their top of the line stuff are generally quite average. Focal are unbelievable, especially for the price, and mine sound easily twice as good as my friends alpine typer splits. I also like Boston Rallys and JL audio speakers. Alpine amps are good, but my money would be on an Eclipse amp. If you're hell bent on Alpine however they are a good amp choice nonetheless. With the headunit, I like Eclipse or Clarion (I have the clarion dxz746mp). Alpine are also good but for SQ the other two are the picks. Oh and sound deaden your door. I was quoted about $300 bucks for for them to do both front doors so at $150 a door its affordable. It'll make your midbass much better and stop road noise affecting your tweeter's detail. With subs, I'd go Pioneer (or DLS)! My friend's alpine type r sub sounds shithouse compared to his brothers (much) cheaper Rockford sub (which I though was shithouse before he bought the pioneer class d to power it), and if you read a lot of local car mags Pioneer subs tend to come first in the SQ marks. Pioneer's sound good when you give them a lot of power to play with, and that includes their $250 subs and upwards. They sell ready made subs in boxes too, the amp for a sub tends to be more important imo. DLS are good but generally more expensive and hard to source. Oh and make sure a reputable shop does the fitting. Proper installation makes a big difference. Don't let your 'mate who knows how to do it' touch anything! my 2c, hope it helps
  12. Hey guys Looking for a r32 mspec front bar, preferably in marone. Doesn't matter if the paint is in bad condition, as long as the bar itself is well fit. Prefer Sydney seller. Thanks
  13. Thats right. Hopefully someone out there can tell me how to remove my window tinting in a very low cost manner. Thanks
  14. Cool! I'll contact you soon about the gear so I can come have a look see. Thanks Zac
  15. Does anyone have: (any colour) 1. stock r32 front with fog lights (not mspec) 2. r32 gtr front grill 3. the digital climate control unit (WORKING!) preferably with the plastic face cover 4. GTS4 rear diff (or wants to swap theirs for a gtr rear diff) 5. Left hand clear indicator (the ones at the front not the side indicators) or pair 6. pair of matching r32 headlights (mine don't match) 7. that thing the seat belt clips into for the driver (is that called the buckle?) 8. glove box door with no scratches 9. that plastic part thats underneath the dash, where theres the right lower air vent? 10. drivers side mirror 11. left and right window seals, including the bit of plastic that follows the top rim of the door** ** added after original thread I think thats all thanks
  16. STORM69 _The set is very easily installed yourself as the set comes with all hoses, clamps, and mounting brackets.
  17. I don't know. If it helps its metal. The pictures are there for you to see.
  18. Guess what guys, this set is BACK ON SALE. Any interest will be dealt promptly. Thanks.
  19. I'm gonna try and get pics of it up soon, its just hard as I've been very busy. The box itself is very small, about the size of a midi tower but slightly deeper. Box is made of mdf and has terminal cup. If anyone would like to come inspect it pm me. rtwin
  20. Hey guys & gals, I've been overwhelmed by the interest in the cooler & pipes despite knowing that the price was very reasonable. Thanks for all the interest, but both have now been sold to an anonymous bidder who expressed interest early on and has inspected the set. If that falls through of course expect to see this set back on sale. I also have a oil/air separator that gave me noticeable gains in performance for sale (all my friends in the passenger seat noticed a marked improvement). By removing oil fumes from the air to be combusted, good gains are to be had. That awesome green r32 from NZ, EVL32 or something had one, admittedly a lot bigger (and no doubt more xpensv) than mine. rtwin
  21. Nozila Theres no air filter attached because the engine is in a state of disassembly. S & H to adelaide? I don't know. I have local buyers but if they fall through I'll find out and let you know.
  22. I can't say exactly. Maybe someone else can help out here. I don't see why it wouldn't, I've seen bigger on r33's.
  23. Here are the pics to the cooler and piping as installed on my 32. Price stays firm at $650 at this time which I think is very reasonable especially since it cost near the 1200 mark. Those that have left their numbers here and in pm's, ill call tomorrow. Cheers.
  24. Oil air separator, 3mths old, custom made for r32 rb20det for sale $150. Those that know what these do will know they give a noticeable increase in power and driveability. rtwin
