Car Troublez, Post If U Have Any Advice......


Recommended Posts

im in a bit of trouble, atm, i may need sum parts for the r33 gtst. may need front control arms and steering mechanism. after a lose into a ditch.

stupidity prevails, that is why this situation eventuated.

if u have any advice to help plz post, if not, dont bother, with it.

yeah.. hopefully it's not too major.

but kjb_r33 is right, ebay isn't always a bad place to look for skyline miscellaneous parts. I picked up a set of spare lower arms for my r32 the other day for a silly price, just in case.

In this situation you've basically got lower control arms, upper control arms, tie rods, and at worse steering rack that need to be inspected and/or replaced. Each are usually a couple of hundred bucks. As long as you haven't bent the chasis, I wouldn't imagine it costing more than $1000 to replace what needs to be replaced.

yeah well i dontknwo abotu the chassis yet, when i try to drive it forward and back, it makes a terrible scraping sound near the rear brakes.

hey its chris with the 4door white one if you need anything i might be able to help. :D

yeah, i know im gonna be up for a bit. just dont know what yet. waiting on getting it to the mechanics so we can look at it.

You can come down to my workshop and throw it up on the hoist, then we can see what wrong with it.

    • 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.
