I assume you fit a lock bar? If so I believe the only thing left to do is get a wheel alignment and all should be good

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?

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!!!

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.

      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.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
