So, I'm guessing you've never driven down the section of Parramatta Rd. that these guys are talking about ?!?!?!

I dunno?? I went a lot of places with the NSW postwhores when I was down but I have no idea what road I was on! Everywhere has the odd bad road but people were saying that NSW roads in general are crap, whereas compared to my experience in QLD they were good, far better maitained as a whole and with far more reasonable speed limits!

There is one really bad area on Wallgrove Road near the M4. I once went over it at 60 because there was some idiot right behind me and then my car kept saying my door was open and it wasn't. Now I usually take it at around 20k/h and if there is someone behind me too bad.

yeah roads suck

I took my dads kia rio out so I didn't have to use my GTR to drop the GF home, it had just finished raining, the street is so poorly lit I couldn't see shite, just as I hit it BANG!

popped the farken tyres on the front left. worse bit was, the tyres are only 3 days old! so I had to fork out 140 for a new one.

rang the council, they said take a pick of the tyre and rim etc...

go to take a pic of the rd and the farkers had filled it in the next morning!

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
