just wondering, i have a lockbar and noticed the other night that with the car jacked up, and rear wheel off, i can grip the rear disc and "turn" it 1mm in/out, as in i can see the tie rod move in and out of the lock bar 1mm. seems a bit too much slop to me?!!

how would i fix this? get a new lockbar? or tie rods? Both?

how does this bar look..?

anyone dealt with these guys. maybe a good option till gtrgeof starts up again.

I dont know what you lot are on!!. I race my R32 and I havnet had any problems on the track yet. feels fine to me.

i was going to try the cheaper option of using some cut washers to stop it working to see what the difference was. but really, the only trouble ive had cornering is the blokes in front of me holding me up!!!

haha.. must be wrxs... lol

how do u normally go about with the hicas oil lines on the R32 GTR.? leave them on? and bung them up or remove?

what a guess.. :mellow: i had a huntch.. lol

and the EVO's. im told they suffer from a bit of turn in understeer. i can monster all the guys i race with in corners, i just havent quite got enough power for the straights. but mine is still standard apart from a pod filter and now a 3'' straight through/side exit exhaust(no muff/cat) which im taking to the track tomorrow to see the difference. im hoping it will be noticable.

no intercooler oil cooler? im not game to go track without supporting cooling mods.

let us knw how u go.

havent had any prob's yet. standard intercooler. we have to make up a better cooling suround for the pod filter. at the moment its only a thin sheet of aluminum.

track test didnt go as well as i thought it would. since we did some suspenion changes, dad did a rough wheel alig on it i only used my road tyres which are slippery as hell to see how the trye wear was. exhaust didnt seem to make much difference but then again i was still pulling the same speed on the straights with slower corner speed so i wont really know till my next race meeting on the 25th. i wished id takin the race tyres now. dad did a wheel alig with wood and tape measure and he's done a good job. then again he has been doing then for 30 years. and i really need to lock the diff cause im lifting the inside rear to much and losing traction.

decent effort keeping up with wrxs and evos in a standard GTST >_<

Cheers! Its manily due to the circut i think, or im just grreeaatt LOL

they have it over me on the straights though. but yeah, for what it is im doing ok.

once we've upgraded to somewhere near their standard, look out! but it all takes time, and money.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
