Hey everyone on SAU :P

I just purchased a GTR R32 and found myself with those little annoying problems of getting it registered into my name. Luckly they are rather little. Basically if you have read my post in 'i can lend' thread Bluey started up then you will know what i need. Basically I need a stock Exhaust (that or stock suspension) as the muffler is too low (9cm) when the car is under full load (4 people sitting in it) so either need stock suspension to raise it a few cm (as it looks like it has lower springs) or the exhaust that will fit more closer to the body. Second is the more important but which is that i require a r32 GTR bonnet as my current is CF and the RTA havent made a rule of whether they are generally safe so a RTA engineer has to take a look at it and make a ruling themselves. I'm willing to pay for the 'rent' aswell.

So I anyone has one or two of those give me a PM and go from there. I haven't had chance at taking pictures, but once i start driving it around you will see it (ITS GREEN!! O.o)

Thanks for reading.

I though that to as if that was case then they could never defect you for ride height if it was at 10.5cm with only you in your car, but 9cm IF you had a full passangered car. I have to look into that furtherly so if anyone has a definate ruling on that please let us know :P Also would it be different in NSW then in ACT?

Looks like I'll be buying some stock springs so I can get it registered as it doesn't seem like anyone has any to borrow. So just need to ask a question. If someone has a GTR r32 which still have its stock springs on it, can you please measure the distance between the top of the rear guard and the centre wheel hub. I'm trying to figure out if buying stocks will push it up atleast another 2cm as that will get it past RTA even with 4 guys in car.

Thanks!

If you have coil overs [and you must to get it low], then just get someone to wind the adjustment up on the locking rings. I'd reckon you'd have plenty there to use.

If you have the 'C' spanners you could do it yourself.

It's got lower king springs on it or something, but I got some stock springs and going to put them on. Does anyone in ACT want to get rid of their stock wheels?

They gave me a sheet about lowering a car, and it has to be above 10cm under a load of 63kg per seat?? Wouldnt know how they got that figure??

Thanks for the replys

Would anyone know if r33 GTST wheels (stock) will fit my R32 GTR properly to get it over the Pits. I'm not sure about the offset or the it fouling the breaks. Also will the RTA have a go at my wheels if there is a spacer on it (as i seem to remember to the offset is less on GTST wheels then on GTR wheels.)

CHEERS!!

The problem will be if you use bolt on spacers that are shorter than your wheel studs then you will most likely have to grind the studs down to make them fit and thats illegal, however if you get spacers that are wide enough that you wont need to grind your studs down they will probably increase your wheel track to much and they'll fail you on that... Youre better off finding a set of standard GTR wheels if you can.

Spacers arent a good idea anyway.

Thanks for the advice Bullet32. I've found a set of GTR standards and waiting for PM reply. I just want it on the road as soon as possible as having it sitting in my garage looking pretty isnt really what a GTR was built to do.

Cheers :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      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.
