This might be asking abit, but does anyone with a R33 GTR or Stagea 260RS/4WD wanna measure from the hole on there front Caster arms to the very end bit with the two bolts?

Would be very helpful if someone could. Thanks Luke

cheers troy. i know lots of votes have been done and not much moving happening so hopefully there will be some changes with todays voting, thanks again to all of you for helping out :thumbsup:

Another few votes, This really is stupid how you can vote your life away, If you had the time you could vote all day and move right up there.....

PS your up into 10th now!!

and Flicks making a come back now aswell

got to say that pic for MSS15 keeps on distracting me from voting for you 2 :D

Darren whens the next round of the state series? might try to head out for it as i haven't been to 1 in years.

woohh yeh keep the votes coming, for both of us! Im on the first page at least now, got my friends.. workmates.. family and their friends all voting lol.

In other news, didnt get the job, but ohwell, least i still have coles until i find something else..

tough luck flick, at least you still have your other job. I quit mine cos i had a new job only to have them cancel it at the last minute (when i was looking for a place to live in Melbourne to work for them)

so i'm back going through the paper and internet madly looking. What sort of work are you after?

Darren whens the next round of the state series? might try to head out for it as i haven't been to 1 in years.

well we are going out for prac tomorrow, but the FIRST state Champ round is on the Sat 12th April, So next weekend, Its a twilight meeting also, so will be a good one!!

well ive been in retail for 11 years now.. i dont mind it, just want a change from supermarket! Anything sales, retail etc would be good, just keep on lookin i guess :D

My mates girlfriend is the manager of Strathfield on Gouger St, If i hear of anything i will let you know!

cool, i want to see the WEST's out on track. They feel the car has a potential to take the outright lap record if they can get a good driver out there. Not bad for a 176Hp car

Yeh they are a nice car, seen them quite a few times, and Percat drove one a little while ago also!! Id say he could have the potential to get the record......LOL

SAPOL sure does have some dickheads working for it, now don't get me wrong I'm not painting them all with the same brush but a lot of traffic cops are assholes! There I was cruising down Grand Junction Rd this arvo and see a cop car on the side of the road with his disco lights on. The car in front just pulled away and then the officer in the car turned off his lights... I drove past, he stayed where he was for a few more seconds. When I was a reasonable distance away there he comes, flying up my ass with his flashy light show so I pulled over and politely said good afternoon officer. He pulls out his bretho and says random breath test, blah blah blah, while all the time looking at my car. I breathe in, he barely even looks at the reading then goes straight to the car asking me all sorts of questions trying to be a smart ass about what he can defect on it. As I have WA plates currently he asks have I been over Regency yet, DUH! I still have WA plates! I said no, then he said, "Oh, they'll make sure you have a good time when you go through then" and hops in his car and does an ILLEGAL U-turn then fangs up the road!!! :D

What shits me the most is it was blatantly obvious I was only pulled over cos I drive one of those "hoon cars" I was obeying road rules and the speed limit, there was no reason for him to pull me over under the guise of a "random" breath test. I know this kind of shit happens every day but when you have had a hard day at work, doing the decent thing holding down a job and earning money and some little shit head has to come and spoil it... it just irks me. Where was this officer when bogans tried to break into my car? Ah I digress...

/rant

i know they do do alot of those random pull overs to make sure the person driving is actually the owner, does suck in a way but at least it is something they do to look out for the imports.

And thanks heaps for the votes people, cant believe were in the top 10! Keep them coming :D

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
