Hey guys.

My r33 has been waiting for me to get my license back which is still around 6 months away, do you guys thing that I am due for a service?

It has only done 1 tank of fuel since i bought it in october.

(I know i shouldnt let the one tank of fuel get this old)

but i filled it up when i got it and figured id use it in a months time.

so now i will fill up a quarter at a time if its only being driven this much! 400 kms over 5 - 6 months.

when i got it it was direct from japan and went through compliance and full service.

what sort of service do you think she needs! cheers fellas :)

As long as you are starting it and letting it run for a bit every 2 or 3 weeks, maybe take it for a drive so your battery isn't flat - than i'd say nothing..

I honestly doubt you need to service it, check your oil, see how clean it feels and take it from there, just service it when you get to say 3,000kms.. otherwise what's the point.. you haven't driven it..

oh ok.. yeh i take it for a drive every 2 to 3 weeks to let the drive train loosen up rather than starting it on the spot..

i just thought maybe it could need a service because the fluids were like aging inside my engine lol..

but they do say service every 5000 kms Or 6 months which ever comes first.

If I were you, I'd get someone "with a licence" to drive it once a week, and just before the licence comes back do a 5000k service (oils and filters, etc).

yeh sounds good.. ill do a service in september just before i get it back.

yes the person who drives it always has a license....

cheeers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
