I don't know if you would get a defect for any of them, however I guess its up to the discretion of who ever decides to pull u over.

One way you could go about it tho is get an engineers report... thats what I did with my old car and I had no problems!

Im buying some new bit's for my r33 over the next few week's and just want to know if these parts will give me a defect.

CUSCO BRAKE STOPPER

CUSCO AIR DIVERSION PLATE

CUSCO SWAY BAR

CUSCO ENGINE DAMPNER

I can see a use for the first 2 + they are relatively cheap but the last 2, I really wouldn't bother.

The Cusco sway bar may actually mess up the handling. R33's are prone to understeer more so than any of the other skylines (r32-r34), you'd be much better off leaving the sway bars stock and firming it up with a good set of springs and shocks. Shove a nice fat sway bar on the front and its going to understeer, throw a nice fat sway bar on the rear and its going to be rather tail happy/slippery on corner exit.

What suspension are you running around with?

1. Ditch the Nankangs.

I recently had a set of 245/40/18's Nankang NS2's on my R32; they gripped worse than a set of cheapo Federal 535 225/50/16's I have on stock rims.

I was extremely dissapointed in the nankangs considering they are nankangs top tyre and gripped slightly worse than cheap 535 federals that were considerably narrower.

Are you sure you haven't mixed up the front & rear? Wider on the front is silly and 'apparently' illegal. When I had my VS 5ltr 5speed I ran around with stockies on the rear for a little; that was until I was pulled over by a cop and was told its illegal to run narrower tyres on the rear than the front. :S

Throw a set of Federal ss595's all round; Well priced tyres that offer excellent bang for buck. Wall-T-Wall tyres can do prices for sau members that other tyre shops can't match. Best price is obtained when you book the car in for a set of new tyres all round. They had a few issues with sau members grabbing quotes then going else where; then other tyre shops would ring them asking how the frig they can do such prices blah blah. :whistling:

if your looking for a "non-defectable" setup (people may argue there is no such thing in sa =P) you may not want to run these. correct me if i'm wrong, but they are insta-defect if spotted?

If u buy them from Maltec they sell braided ones coated in black silicon (to prevent cutting through suspension parts) and have the ADR approval numbers on the collars.

These are not guaranteed defect free, but would be less likely to get picked on.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
