Well.....

About the rebuild.....

I had only just purchased the car about 3 months ago now, it was in stock form.

I had bought it to setup for drift. Within the first 2 weeks of owning the car i had spent a stupid $7k on it! This included

- RG Coilovers front and rear

- Adjustable caster rods

- 2 way mechanical LSD

- 3inch exhuast system

- Front mount intercooler

- Pod filter

- Greddy Profec B SPec II boost control

- Oil cooler with remote filter

- Drift pinapples

- Greddy 8's Spark plugs

- Oil catch can

- Greddy boost gauge

- AdjustableRear camber arms

- 18" AVS rims

+ heaps of other small crap along the way

So i spent some cash! I ha d just parked it on the road to run inside for 2 seconds and BANG!!! Some Fark wit smashed into the rear, slamming it into the gutter cheesing up my nice new rims, bending my lower conntrol arm, hicas arm, wheel hub, drive shaft and brake assembly! Not to mention smashing in the rear panel and boot lid! As it may be Mr Fark Wit dosent carry insurance to my displeasure, so off to court i am!

The worst thing is it will be like getting blood out of a farkn stone, so for the mean time my re build is out of my own pocket.

The whole car now has been stripped down(excluding engine) and it undergoing a full respray.

All the under carriage has been replaced. Hope fully it will be on the road again by next week!

I ordered some sparco seats, Half cage ( Bonds Roll Bars - Sydney) TRS harnesses and a few other goodies

Cheers AD

Can any one tell me how i can post pics??

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
