Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

they are 17x 8 +17 fronts and 17x 9.5 +24 rear :dry:

Are they Brentons old meshies? Specs sound similar. Look like they sit pretty mint, full body shots needed (in daylight) though :kiss:

i just went down the street to get drinks for tomorrow, and had a guy come up and introduce himself to me.

it was none other then Mr Senwill himself, he liked my car!(and i liked his, brand new twin turbo range rover, he also has a brand new single turbo petrol one.. :P )

had a chat with him about a bit of stuff, then he gave me a Drift Central 3 dvd! put a smile on my face to meet someone like that in a little town like this, AND he was the nicest dude you will ever meet!

stoked!

Well a massive thanks to Ryan, Aussie Dyno and Turbosmart for seeing my car pull 198.1 rwkw today :( apparently im a bashed cat away from 220. ill post up my dyno sheet once i get my camera working. Highly recommend Aussie Dyno, made very very sure i was running 100% safe while still squeezing power out of it!

oh yeah, the hoodies wont be at vili's tonight, due top lack of interest combined with my family down from interstate. next pick up will be my cruise on monday

hey guys, after an opinion!

under boost, my 25 is making a high pitched squeel - from area around the turbo; i'm thinking it may be exhaust/manifold leakage.

I havent really investigated by removing bits and pieces under the bonnet yet, - i might take the heat shield off the std turbo tomorrow and have a geeze for any signs of soot and black crap.

Anyone had this issue before?

yes mate i had this exact same problem about a month ago, gasket between turbo and manifold mate...

ahh, so it very well may be the culprit! I asked my usual mechanic, and he guessed that a gasket would probably be the cause.

so basically, you got to remove exhaust front pipe and dump, remove turbo, replace gasket + new studs yeah?

doesnt sound like much, but it'd be a pretty legnthy job hey Ryan?

      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.
